The era of Wang Wei's life is an era of poetry. Among them, Wang Wei's pastoral poems are the freshest and most beautiful, listening to falling flowers, tasting spring flow, condensing moonlight, listening to sounds in poems and painting in poems. It has its own unique meaning and aesthetic feeling.

First, there is a picture in the poem: the picturesque beauty of Wang Wei's pastoral poems

Su Shi, as one of the "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties", once commented on Wang Wei's poem "There are pictures in the poem; Looking at the painting, there is poetry in the painting "is a high summary of Wang Wei's poetic painting style." "From a painter's point of view, Wang Wei's description of landscapes and pastoral areas is more vivid. The description of poetry is in the state of "omniscient", which depicts the unique characteristics of landscape pastoral poetry. At the same time, the description of poetry uses painting art to make the harmony of color, light and shadow in poetry more unique. The artistic expression he used is also unique, and the description of the scenery is like a picture scroll spread out in front of his eyes, full of poetry and painting; What is even more surprising is that this picture scroll is not just laid out there, but a series of audio paintings guide us to live in it.

There are pictures in Wang Wei's poems, which reflect the poet's special perception of the beauty of nature with the painter's eyes. Through the real perception of natural scenery and the imagination of artistic conception, a beautiful artistic conception is created. The perfect combination of complexity and simplicity, form and meaning in poetry, with the help of well-structured pictures, makes overall arrangements and expresses profound meanings, giving people a beautiful experience and feeling.

Such as "Bamboo House": "I am leaning alone in the dense bamboo, playing the pipa and humming, and my voice is too low. No one can hear me except my companion Mingyue." This is one of his "Wangchuan Collection", mainly about the feeling of living in a bamboo forest. From close range to distant view, the whole poem reads like a painting in front of us, with a sense of hierarchy and picture. Let us realize that the poet expresses his inner peace and indifference with a state of mind far away from himself.

In Wang Wei's poems, light and shadow are often used to express the static beauty of scenery, which is delicate in description and good at capturing the instantaneous beauty of the picture, and is expressed in vivid language, presenting a quiet and bright picture between light and shadow. Natural scenery always has its own unique characteristics, and people can always find similar characteristics in nature. Wang Wei's special feelings for all natural things come from his careful observation and meditation, capturing the unique characteristics of things between light and shadow, and creating a beautiful and leisurely artistic conception.

This picture is reflected in an autumn night in the deep mountains. "There is moonlight in the pine forest and crystal stone in the stream." As the saying goes, the laundry girl returns, and the lotus leaf bends before the fishing boat. In the lonely forest, the autumn rain is falling, and the night is falling, bringing a burst of coolness. The moonlight shone brightly through the gap, giving off a clear light. The cool spring water gurgled on the rocks. There was a loud noise from time to time in the depths of the bamboo forest. It was the washerwoman who went home together, and the lotus leaf came out from it, and the lotus suddenly swayed, and the fishing boat passed through it. The brightness of the bright moon rippled in the forest with the wind, and the lotus swayed in the water as the fishing boat slowly landed. The color in the poem is elegant and bright; The realm is ethereal and clear, quiet and beautiful, with endless aftertaste.

The painting in Wang Wei's poems is also reflected in the harmony between light and color, and the choice of color in the poem often affects the artistic conception of the whole poem. Different colors can make people feel different and contain different emotions. Wang Wei's pastoral poems adopt diversified colors, unifying natural scenery in a complete picture, matching and selecting colors with the painter's eyes, with bright colors and distant artistic conception.

For example, "White water is outside the field, and Bifeng is behind the mountain" in "New Sunny Wild Hope". This poem describes the scenery in the countryside. After the rain in early summer, the poet overlooks the scenery of Yuan Ye, and the rain washes away the dust in the air, which is filled with fresh breath and clear as water. Vilen is exceptionally open. After the rain, the river sparkled in the clear sunshine, which made it look fresh and beautiful after the rain. Green peaks stand behind the ridge, and the usually fuzzy peaks become much clearer under the washing of rain. Looking around, everything looks brand-new, and the whole poem exudes a fresh and clear atmosphere, which is full of vitality of Yuan Ye after the rain.

The reflector of light and color is an artistic conception formed by the choice and collocation of colors, and different color collocation gives people different feelings. At the same time, it evokes people's association with light. The picture is no longer a single color, but the harmony of various colors and light, showing a harmonious and beautiful picture.

Second, the combination of dynamic and static: the poetic beauty of Wang Wei's pastoral poems

Lu Ji in the Western Jin Dynasty put forward that "poetry is beautiful because of emotion". Wang Wei's poems are not only full of artistic implication, but also contain profound poetry. When he is moving and still, he can always grasp the instantaneous movement and carefully depict the unique characteristics of things from a special perspective. The images in Wang Wei's poems are also the externalization of the poet's mind. It is extremely vivid and poetic to express inner feelings with the characteristics of foreign objects. The beauty he described can be captured, appreciated and felt, rather than castles in the air, intangible and intangible. His meticulous and keen understanding of nature created a poetic realm of tranquil Ming Xiu.

Such as "Autumn Night in the Deep Mountains" and "The Lotus Leaves and Bamboo Songs in front of the Fishing Boat", the poet heard the noise of the bamboo forest and knew that a happy girl had returned; After seeing the lotus leaf floating, I knew there was a fishing boat on the shore. Set off the tranquility of the bamboo forest with the noise of Huan women; Set off the silence of the lotus pond with the floating of lotus leaves. Let people see a quiet but vibrant picture, and the mountain village in autumn night is particularly fresh and quiet. When the night is hazy, there is no noise and warmth during the day, and the tranquility brought by autumn night makes people feel very comfortable. People who have worked all day also go home to seek spiritual comfort at this time. The combination of natural beauty and artistic beauty in this poem creates a fresh and quiet artistic beauty.

Such as "Qingxi", "The rapids pass through the stone piles, and the light fades in the thick pine". "Loud voice" and "quiet color" are quiet when moving, which makes people feel like hearing the sound of streams hitting rocks and seeing lush deep Woods after reading. The combination of sound and things makes Qingxi more peaceful and beautiful, and people can't help but indulge in it and linger.

The combination of sound and image is also the externalization of the poet's spiritual world, and the poet expresses his inner feelings with the characteristics of things. This kind of expression is also a kind of expression. It uses the characteristics and sounds of foreign objects to express the unspeakable feelings in the heart. The specific image can arouse the readers' * *, creating a beautiful artistic conception with emotion.

Emptiness, quietness and spirit: the Zen beauty of Wang Wei's pastoral poems

Wang Wei is known as "Shi Fo", and there is no lack of Zen beauty in his poems. His poetic style is full of Zen, and now he combines the silence of Zen with the unique aesthetics of landscape experience to create an undisturbed beauty of tranquility. His Zen is also reflected in his natural feelings, which is profound, reassuring and thought-provoking.

The great achievements of Wang Wei's poetry creation are closely related to the influence of social culture in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Wang Wei spent most of his life in Kaiyuan and Tianbao. The politics, economy, culture, religious belief and social understanding in this period had a profound influence on it. At that time, the society was prosperous and the culture was unprecedentedly developed, and the stable social environment provided him with a stable creative space. Wang Wei's life experience also has a great influence on his poems. He lives a semi-official and semi-secluded life, ups and downs in the real world, but also takes pleasure in the countryside. Therefore, the emotion expressed in his poems is the world's understanding of nature, society and even self.

As the Tang Dynasty poet often built a Buddhist retreat behind the Broken Mountain Temple, he said, "My road is tortuous, passing through a sheltered valley, branches and flowers to a Buddhist retreat." Zen in Wang Wei's poems is always inadvertently revealed, and the natural scenery is endowed with infinite Zen by him. Through the contrast of natural scenery, a kind of quiet and profound Zen beauty is created.

The Zen thought in Wang Wei's poems is inseparable from his understanding of Zen, and the process of the poet's epiphany is the process of Zen. When describing his life experience, the poet wrote the whole process of meditation and enlightenment through the rendering of the environment, creating an ethereal and clever beauty for readers.

The Zen thought in Wang Wei's poems is an important factor affecting his poetic situation. Poets are weak in mind and sensitive to natural scenery. At the same time, his poems are full of philosophical thinking and influenced by ethereal Buddhist thought. Zen poetry is more touching, meaningful and thought-provoking.
