Works Appreciation

The whole poem is filled with the enthusiasm and youthfulness of a young man, and he has never expressed his feelings directly, but his words are not far from the red beans, and he has expressed his love for his friend to the fullest.

It is "all in one breath, and must be read in one breath", extremely bright, but also euphemistic and subtle. In life, the deepest words are often simple, natural and marvelous. Wang Wei is very good at refining this simple and typical language to express deep thoughts and feelings. Therefore, it is not surprising that this poem became a popular song at that time because of its shallow language and deep feelings.
