Why does Lin Daiyu in "A Dream of Red Mansions" like Wang Wei's poems?

Xue Pan went out to study business. Xiangling was lucky enough to follow Baochai to live in the Grand View Garden. Learning poetry had always been Xiangling's dream, so she became a teacher of Daiyu and studied poetry with her. Daiyu taught Xiangling to learn poetry from the shallower to the deeper, and followed the instructions step by step.

Daiyu said: "You must not learn this kind of poetry. Because you don't know poetry, you fall in love with this shallow person when you see it. Once you enter this situation, you can't learn it. Just listen to me. , if you really want to learn, I have the "Complete Works of Wang Mojie" here. You can read a hundred of his five-character rhythms and study them carefully... Don't worry about not being a poet!"

Xiang Ling said that she liked a poem by Lu You very much. Daiyu told her that if she wanted to compose poetry, Lu You's poems were not very suitable. If she wanted to learn to compose poems, it would be most suitable to read Wang Wei's poems first. As for the reason? Let’s look at the following three points. First, Wang Wei’s five-character rhymes are very well written. Beginners need his poetry as a foundation.

Whether you are learning poetry or painting, you must first learn through accumulation and imitation, and then you can master it later. Be innovative. Not just anyone can be good at foreshadowing poetry, because poetry pays attention to pattern and charm.

If a beginner chooses the wrong person to learn from at the beginning, then her tone will be determined, and it will be impossible to learn more deeply in the future. Daiyu has been reading, reading and writing poetry since she was a child, so she has a good foundation. She also teaches Xiangling based on her childhood experience.

Wang Wei is a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. Wang Wei is best at five-character poems, and he writes very well in Wujue and Wulu. Five-character poetry is one of the most common themes in ancient poetry. Each line of it is composed of five characters. Five-character poetry has two common forms: five-character quatrains and five-character rhyme poems. Five-character poems are composed of four lines of poetry. The whole poem is only There are twenty crosses; while the five rhymes are composed of eight lines of poetry, and the whole poem has up to forty crosses.

Wang Wei's poems have a strong visual sense, and most of them are poems about landscapes and pastoral areas. His words and sentences are concise, easy to understand, and unforgettable. Su Shi commented on his works that "there are paintings in poems, and poems in paintings." For Xiang Ling, who had no cultural foundation but had life experience, such poems were easy to learn and associate. Secondly, Wang Wei’s official career was not smooth but he was always happy. Xiangling can learn from his artistic conception

Wang Wei’s official career was pretty good compared to others. He became famous at a young age, but he also Despite the ups and downs in the officialdom, Wang Wei has always been able to maintain a smooth mood despite repeated changes. This is what Daiyu likes most about Xiangling learning from Wang Wei.

The most valuable thing about Wang Wei is that although he has experienced a lot of sorrow in his life, he lost his father when he was young, lost his wife and children in his third year, and his mother passed away in the year when he knew his destiny. He has always been on the road of love, family and friendship. Chengcheng persisted and was not defeated by bad luck, so he made a comeback. He was rewarded with blessings in his later years. He reached the rank of "Shang Shu Youcheng" in the fourth rank and passed away peacefully at the age of 61.

Wang Wei had positive political ambitions in his early years and hoped to accomplish a great cause. Later, when the political situation changed, he gradually became depressed and began to eat fast and chant Buddha's name. When he was in his forties, he specially built a villa in Lantian County, southeast of Chang'an, and lived a semi-official and semi-hidden life on Zhongnan Mountain. The poem "Wangchuan Leisurely Presents to Pei Xiu Caidi" is a chapter in his secluded life. The main content is "statement of aspirations" and describes the poet's desire to stay away from the world and continue to live in seclusion. The scenery described in the poem is not deliberately laid out, it is natural and fresh, as if it were picked up at hand, and the distant scenery can be seen by itself, which has a great legacy of Yuan Ming.

Many of Wang Wei's poems are cold and profound, far away from the world, without a trace of human smoke, and full of Zen. The artistic conception of landscape has gone beyond the ordinary plain and natural aesthetics, and its meaning has entered a religious realm. This is exactly what it means. It is an inevitable manifestation of Wang Wei’s Buddhist cultivation. Wang Wei lived in an era when Buddhism was flourishing. Scholar-officials were very popular in studying Buddhism. Political dissatisfaction and seclusion several times in his life made Wang Wei devote himself to studying Buddhism in order to ignore fame and fortune and get rid of troubles.

"Birdsong Stream" best represents Wang Wei's state of mind during this period. "People are idle, osmanthus flowers are falling, and the night is quiet in the spring sky. The moonrise scares the mountains and birds sing in the spring streams." Everything is silent and inactive, illusory and impermanent, without purpose, without consciousness, without the joy of life and the sorrow of death. But everything is immortal and eternal.

Life is always unpredictable, and no one can know who will come first tomorrow or the accident, so keeping an optimistic and smooth mood is the most positive attitude towards life. Wang Wei's life was not rough but full of changes, so learning poetry is like learning his attitude towards life. Third, Wang Wei’s poems are rich in types, and each type of poems is well written

Wang Wei’s poems are extremely rich in types. He is not broad but not refined. On the contrary, he writes every type of poems. Very good. Daiyu loves poetry because poetry can express words and feelings that cannot be said in reality. Many of Daiyu's poems are melancholic and sad, but this does not mean that Daiyu does not take life seriously and actively. Daiyu's inner sadness is expressed through poetry, so she also hopes to learn a variety of poetry, so that other people's lives will not be the same as hers. Wang Wei's poetry expresses many aspects of life.

Landscape pastoral poetry expresses the feeling of leisurely contentment and attachment to the landscape

Wang Wei's landscape poetry is about structuring the picture, making it rich in layers, communicating the distance and near, and even combining movement and stillness, sound and color. It is better, with more dynamic and musical beauty, such as "Mountain Dwelling in the Dark Autumn": After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather comes late in autumn. The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows over the rocks. The bamboo noise returns to Huan Nu, and the lotus moves off the fishing boat.

The spring fragrance rests at will, and the king and grandson can stay.

Such poems are short and concise, but they can reveal the author's inner peace and broad-minded state of mind. The poet who lives in the deep mountains feels sad and depressed, but at this time the confusion in his heart has been resolved, so the author can hear the sound of spring water and the laughter of tourists. This kind of expression of human voice and water fully combines the beauty of painting, music and poetry.

The greatest function of landscape pastoral poetry is to express leisurely contentment and feelings about landscapes, so Wang Wei has many poems in this area and writes them very well.

Lyric poems as gifts to relatives and friends and describing daily life, expressing deep feelings of friendship

These poems written by Wang Wei are all five-character or seven-character quatrains, with sincere feelings and clear and natural language. The carvings have a simple and profound beauty, which can be compared with the quatrains of Li Bai and Wang Changling, and represents the highest achievement of quatrains in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

In Wang Wei's "Sending Yuan Er Envoy to Anxi": The morning rain in Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guesthouses are green and willows are new. I advise you to drink a glass of wine and leave Yangguan in the west without any old friends. The caring and thoughtfulness is beyond words. Concerned about his friend, he is about to leave and he cannot accompany him, but he still wants to give him a final hug. Wherever they are, they will always be friends. The saddest thing is when a friend is leaving, but it also shows Wang Wei's affection for his friends.

Wang Wei's "Lovesickness", "Red beans grow in the south, and a few branches will grow when spring comes. I hope you will pick more, this is the most lovesick thing." Entrusting the little red beans, chanting the feelings of lovesickness, it can be said to be intoxicating with eternal lovesickness. 's classic. This is the first poem that has become the best poem to express love. The little red bean carries the longing and lovesickness between lovers. Deep affection is rare and must be cherished.

In frontier fortress military poetry, family and country are still the focus of life

The poems in Wang Wei’s works that feature military service and frontier fortress life are all magnificent and flying works, but I think most of them are Early works. "The Envoy to the Fortress" "I want to ask about the bicycle, but I belong to the country and have passed Juyan. Zheng Peng left the Han fortress, and returned to the wild geese to enter the Hu. The desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, and the long river is full of sun. When Xiaoguan is ready to ride, all are guarding Yanran." Wang Wei's poem has a broad artistic conception and also expresses the author's strong patriotic feelings.

The best thing is that this poem left a deep impression on Xiang Ling. "The solitary smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river." It seems unreasonable but there are no words to replace it. It's like I really saw the scene at that time. . Wang Wei's poems are like paintings, and you will be immersed in them when you read them. "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." The author became an official at a young age and was naturally passionate about serving the country, so there are many such poems in his poems.

In short, Daiyu would suggest that Xiangling must learn from Wang Wei when learning poetry, because Daiyu saw an unknown version of herself in Wang Wei. Wang Wei's life was not rough but full of thorns. However, he was never tired of the world. Instead, he was deeply attached to the mountains and rivers and felt contented. This state of mind is worth learning from. Wang Wei's poetry covers many aspects, and he writes extremely well in every aspect. His five-character poems can be regarded as representatives of this type of poetry, and must be studied. For these three reasons, Daiyu likes Wang Wei very much and hopes Xiangling can learn from Wang Wei.
