Alone in a foreign country for strangers, every festive season to think of relatives. Whenever I read this deeply affectionate verse, I always think of the elegant, gentle, calm and calm man in the gorgeous chapter of the prosperous Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei.
With a faint light of Buddha-nature, he left more than 400 poems for future generations, known as "Poetry Buddha".
In his lifetime, he experienced the pain of losing his father, the sorrow of his wife, and the pain of losing his mother, and he was always bittersweet, gaining and losing, not being happy, not worrying about loss, and facing the sorrow and joy of the world with a plain and calm heart.
"Walk to the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise", is the inner portrayal of "Poetry Buddha" Wang Wei.
1. "Poetry Buddha" Wang Wei
Some people say that Wang Wei's poems represent the most typical sound of the Tang Dynasty, and indeed, Wang Wei is not only unique in the Tang Dynasty, but also has a wide influence on future generations.
There is a plot in "Dream of the Red Chamber" in which Lin Daiyu teaches Xiangling to learn poetry. Lin Daiyu said: If you really want to learn poetry, then you must first read Wang Wei's five-word poems, and you must carefully understand it.
This shows that Cao Xueqin, the author of "Dream of the Red Chamber", highly respects Wang Wei, which shows that Wang Wei's status as a poet is very high.
From the perspective of poetry, Wang Wei can be said to be an all-rounder. Rhythmic poetry, absolute sentences, ancient poetry, and near-body poetry, he is proficient in everything. Landscape idylls, ranger poems, farewell poems, etc., he is a lot of excellent works, passed down to future generations.
Reading Wang Wei's poems, it is as if you have entered a colorful art world: the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, the freshness of the small bridges and flowing waters, the majesty of the long desert river, the entanglement of the red bean acacia, the pride of the golden iron horse, the breeze, the bright moon, the light and the light breeze... It makes people read it and are intoxicated.
"Red beans are born in the southern country, and a few branches are sent in the spring." May the king pick up more, this thing is the most acacia. "Ordinary red beans have become a relic of acacia for eternity."
"Alone in a foreign land for strangers, every festive season to think of relatives." The Haruka brothers ascended to the heights, and there was one less person planted everywhere. "It shows how many people who are wandering away, and they are worried about their relatives and friends at home."
"Weicheng is light and dusty toward the rain, and the guest house is green and willow-colored. Advise the jun to drink a glass of wine, and the west out of the Yang Pass has no reason. Only then did we have the "Yangguan Three Folds", and only then did we have the sincere feelings of relying on others between the deceased.
"Wood hibiscus flowers, red calyxes in the mountains." The streams were silent and deserted, and they opened and fell. "In the quiet valley, the Xinyi flowers that bloom alone, quietly withered, and no one appreciated. The fiery red and splendid XinYi flowers conform to nature and do not need the praise of others.
There is Zen in Wang Wei's poems, and there are poems in Zen. His landscape idylls contain his attitude of going with the flow and settling down with his encounters.
Reading Wang Wei's idyllic poems made people's hearts suddenly become quiet. "Walk to the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise", this is why he is called "Shi Buddha".
2. Wang Wei, the ancestor of literati painting
Mr. Qian Zhongshu, a master of traditional Chinese studies, called Wang Wei "the first chair in the painting world of the Sheng Tang Dynasty", while Dong Qichang, a famous calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty, called him "the ancestor of literati painting".
As a painter, Wang Wei's talent in painting art has been admired by future generations.
In the painting world of the Song Dynasty, Wang Wei's status even surpassed that of Wu Daozi, who was known as the "Painting Sage". He was highly respected by Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan and others.
There is a story about Wang Wei's painting, which cured Qin Guan's gastrointestinal disease. It is said that Qin Guan's gastrointestinal disease could not be cured for a long time, and his friend gave him a picture of Wang Wei's "Map of The River" and told him to enjoy this painting every day.
Qin Guan took care of it, and half a month later, his gastrointestinal disease was actually cured. In fact, when Qin Guan admired the "Yuanchuan Tu", he seemed to have entered the world in Wang Wei's paintings, and his heart was relaxed, refreshed, his mood was happy, and his illness was naturally better.
In his lifetime, Wang Wei was able to write poetry and paint, and he had the dual identity of a poet and a painter. Wang Wei writes poetry with the aesthetics of a painter, and paints with the feelings of a poet. Therefore, his landscape paintings and idylls blend with each other, and there are paintings in poems and poems in paintings.
As a painter, Wang Wei's representative works include "Snow Creek Map", "Jiangshan Xueji Map", "Yuanchuan Map", etc., full of strong poetic beauty, containing the poet's indifferent, quiet and flowing feelings, and the picture is beautiful and natural, elegant and pure, subtle and long-distance.
This is Wang Wei, who is known as the "ancestor of literati painting".
