Keywords Wang Wei; Landscape pastoral poetry; Beauty of artistic conception

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

First, there are pictures in the poems: the picturesque beauty in Wang Wei's pastoral poems

As one of the "eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties", Su Shi once commented on Wang Wei's poems, "The poems are charming and have pictures in them; Observing the painting, there are poems in the painting ",which is a high summary of Wang Wei's poetic painting style." From the perspective of a painter, Wang Wei's description of landscapes and pastoral areas is more vivid. The description of poetry is in a state of "knowing everything", which depicts the unique characteristics of landscape and pastoral scenery. 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 us, 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 that lead us to live in it.

There are pictures in Wang Wei's poems, which are reflected in the poet's special perception of natural beauty with the painter's eyes. Through the real perception of natural scenery and 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, expresses deep meanings and gives people beautiful experiences and feelings.

For example, Bamboo House: "leaning alone in the close bamboos, I am playing my lute and humming a song, too softly for anyone to hear, except my comrade, the bright moon." This is one of his "Wangchuan Collection", which mainly writes about the feeling of living in a bamboo forest. From close-up to distant view, the whole poem is read like a painting in front of us, full of sense of hierarchy and picture. Let us realize that the poet expressed his peace and indifference in his heart with a state of mind that is far away from himself.

In Wang Wei's poems, light and shadow are often used to express the static beauty of the scenery, which is characterized by delicate description, good at capturing the instantaneous beauty of the picture and expressing it in distinctive language, showing a quiet and bright picture between the light and shadow. Natural scenery always has its own unique characteristics, and people can always find characteristics similar to themselves 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 kind of picture is reflected in an autumn evening in the mountains, "moonlight in its groves of pine, stones of crystal in its brooks". "bamboos whisper of washer-girls bound home, lotus-leaves yield before a fisher-boat". In the lonely mountain forest, autumn rain falls in Chu Qing, and the night gradually falls, bringing a burst of coolness. The moonlight shone brightly through the gaps, and shed a clear glow. Qingling spring water gurgles on the rocks. From time to time, there was a loud noise from the depths of the bamboo forest. It was the laundry girl who went home together, lotus leaves from it, lotus flowers swaying suddenly, and fishing boats passing through it. The brightness of the bright moon rippled in the forest with the wind, and the lotus flowers swayed in the water as the fishing boat slowly landed. The color in the poem is elegant, bright and clean; The realm is empty and clear, quiet and beautiful, and the aftertaste is endless.

There are pictures in Wang Wei's poems, which are also reflected in the harmony between light and color. 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, in "New Sunny Wild Hope", "White water is out of the field, and Bifeng is out of the mountain". This poem describes the rural scenery. After the rain in early summer, the poet overlooks the scenery of Yuan Ye, and the rain washes the dust in the air, which is filled with fresh flavor and clear as water. Yuan Ye is exceptionally open. After the rain, the river water is sparkling under the clear sun, which makes it look fresh and beautiful after the rain. The green peaks stand upright behind the ridge, and the usually blurred peaks have become much clearer under the washing of rain. Everywhere you look, everything looks like new, and the whole poem exudes a fresh and clear atmosphere, which glows with the vitality of Yuan Ye after the rain.

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

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

Lu Ji in the Western Jin Dynasty put forward that "poetry is beautiful because of emotion", and Wang Wei's poems are not only full of artistic meaning, but also contain profound poetry. When he moves and is quiet, he can always grasp the moment's 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, expressing inner feelings with the characteristics of foreign objects, which are extremely vivid and full of poetry. The beauty he described can be captured, appreciated and felt, rather than castles in the air, untouchable and intangible. His understanding of nature is meticulous and keen, and he creates the poetic realm of quiet Ming Xiu.

For example, in "an autumn evening in the mountains" and "bamboos whisper of washer-girls bound home, lotus-leaves yield before a fisher-boat", after hearing the noise of the bamboo forest, the poet knew that there was a Huan girl returning; After seeing the lotus leaves floating, I knew that there was a fishing boat near 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 daytime noise and warmth, and the tranquility brought by autumn night makes people feel comfortable. People who have worked all day also go home at this time to find spiritual comfort. The combination of natural beauty and mood beauty in this poem creates a fresh and quiet artistic conception beauty.

as in Qingxi, "rapids hum over heaped rocks, but where light grows dim in the thick pines". "Loud voice" and "quiet color" move quietly, which makes people feel like hearing the sound of streams hitting rocks and seeing the lush and deep Woods after reading. The combination of sound and objects makes Qingxi more peaceful and beautiful, and people can't help but indulge in it and linger.

the combination of sound and object image is also the externalization of the poet's spiritual world, and the poet expresses his inner feelings with the characteristics of objects. This kind of expression is also a kind of expression, which expresses the inner unspeakable feeling with the characteristics and sounds of foreign objects, and the specific image can arouse the readers' * * *, creating a beautiful artistic conception with rich sounds and emotions.

third, emptiness, quietness and agility: the beauty of Zen in Wang Wei's pastoral poems

Wang Wei is known as the "Shi Fo", and there is no lack of emptiness, quietness and agility in his poems. His poetic style full of Zen now uses the silence of Zen combined with the unique aesthetics of landscape experience to create an undisturbed beauty of tranquility. His Zen is also reflected in his natural and true feelings, with profound implications, which makes people feel relieved and thought-provoking.

Wang Wei's great achievements in poetry creation are closely related to the social and cultural influence 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 of 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 a stable creative space for him. 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, and also delights in the countryside. Therefore, the emotion expressed in his poems is the world's understanding of nature, society and even self.

As Chang Jian, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said in a buddhist retreat behind broken-mountain temple, "my path has wound, through a sheltered hollow, of boughs 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 thought by him. Through the foil of natural scenery, it creates a quiet and deep Zen beauty.

The meditation in Wang Wei's poems is closely related to his understanding of Zen, and the process of the poet's epiphany is the process of meditation. When describing his own life experience, the poet wrote the whole process of participating in Zen and realizing Zen through the rendering of the environment, creating a kind of empty and smart beauty for readers.

Zen thinking in Wang Wei's poems is an important factor that affects his poetic situation. The poet's mind is weak, and he can be more emotional about natural scenery. At the same time, his poems are full of philosophical thinking, which is influenced by the ethereal Buddhist thought. Zen-rich poems are more profound and touching, meaningful and thought-provoking.
