Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, and Chen Zi'ang were the representatives of the landscape and idyllic poetry school of the Sheng Tang Dynasty

Wang Wei was the representative of the landscape and idyllic poetry school of the Sheng Tang Dynasty. He inherited and developed the landscape poetry pioneered by Xie Lingyun and made it unique, which made the achievement of landscape and idyllic poetry reach the peak and had an important position in the history of Chinese poetry. Wang Wei also wrote other masterpieces. Some reflect military and border life, some express chivalry, and some expose the ills of the times. Some small poems on farewell to friends and relatives and on daily life, such as Sending Yuan Er to Envoy An Xi, Acacia, Memories of the Brothers in Shandong on the Ninth Day of the Ninth Month, and Sending Shen Zifu Back to Jiangdong, have been recited in ancient and modern times. These small poems are all five or seven poems, with sincere feelings and language, no need for ornamentation, with the beauty of simplicity and depth, comparable to the top lines of Li Bai and Wang Changling, representing the highest achievement of the top lines of the Sheng Tang Dynasty. His poems in response to the system, his poems in harmony, and his poems promoting the principles of Buddhism occasionally have famous lines, but most of them are not desirable. Wang Wei had the highest attainments in the five rhymes and five or seven poems, and he also excelled in other styles, which were very prominent in Tang poetry. His seven rhythms are either majestic and gorgeous, or pure and elegant, and are the model for the seven sons of the Ming Dynasty. The seven ancient forms are neat and tidy, with a flowing momentum. His prose is quiet and meaningful, extremely poetic and picturesque, for example, The Book of the Mountain and Pei Xiu Cai Di. Wang Wei enjoyed great fame both in his lifetime and after his death, and was known as the "World's Literary Scholar" and the "Poetry Buddha". He had a great influence on the future generations.

It is because he often looked at everything with the eyes of a Zen master that his poems have a kind of quiet beauty, clarity and silence that other poets can hardly reach. Especially in his description of the nature of a moment of confusion and movement, is so pure and quiet, Zen rhyme, such as: "people idle osmanthus flowers fall, the night quiet spring mountain empty. The moonrise startles the birds, and they sing in the spring streams." ("Bird Songs") "In the soughing fall rain, shallow pomegranates. The jumping waves splash each other, and the egrets are surprised to come down again." ("Luan Jiaze") and the famous line "the bright moon shining between the pines, clear springs flowing over the stones" ("Mountain Dwelling Autumn All Night") and so on, often cleansing the reader's mind, giving a person endless reverie of tranquility and serenity.

2. Meng Haoran

A poet of the Tang Dynasty. He was a native of Xiangyang, Xiangzhou (present-day Xiangfan, Hubei), and was known as Meng Xiangyang. In the first half of his life, he mainly stayed at home to serve his relatives and read, and he used poetry as a means of self-sufficiency. At the age of 40, he traveled to the capital and returned to Xiangyang after failing to get a scholarship. When he was in Chang'an, he was very close to Zhang Jiuling and Wang Wei. He was famous for his poems. Afterward, he traveled around Wu and Yue, and exhausted the landscape to get rid of the disappointment of his career. Because of the indulgence in feasting and drinking, he suffered from food and drink and died. Meng Haoran's poems are mostly short poems in five lines, and the subject matter is not broad, mostly written about landscape and idylls, seclusion, traveling, etc. Although not without cynicism, Meng Haoran's poems are not without a lot of meaning. Although not without cynicism, but more belong to the poet's self-expression. His poetry is not as broad as Wang Wei's, but it has unique attainments in art, and it is the precursor of the Shengtang's idyllic landscape poetry school, following Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun, and Xie Overlook. Meng's poems are free of ornamentation, light and simple, with a kind and true feeling, rich in the flavor of life, and rich in the fun of superb self-compassion. Meng's poems, such as Autumn Ascent to Wanshan and Send to Zhang Wu, Passing the Old Man's Village, and Spring Dawn, are light and flavorful, all in one, with elegant rhymes and a clear and open mood. Meng's poems are based on an open and tranquil tone, but in the tranquil tone there is a strong and elegant atmosphere, such as "looking at the Dongting Lake to the Prime Minister Zhang", "the gas vaporizes Yunmengze, the wave shakes the Yueyang City", a line, energetic and healthy, looking down on everything. But this kind of poem is not common in Meng poetry. In general, the content of Meng's poems is thin, not inevitably embarrassed by the length. The current Meng Haoran Collection contains 263 poems, but there are others.

"The old man invited me to his farmhouse with his chickens and millet. I was invited to the field house. The green trees were close to the village, and the green hills were slanting beyond the Guo. The old man invited me to his home, where I could enjoy a glass of wine and talk about the mulberry tree. When it comes to the day of the sun, I will come back to the chrysanthemum." The green trees, the green hills, the village houses, the green hills, the green hills. Green trees, green hills, village houses, field and garden, mulberry and hemp are harmoniously blended together, which is a beautiful and tranquil idyllic landscape painting, here there is a fresh earthy flavor; here there is a strong sense of life. Here is "so light that one cannot see the poem" (Wen Yiduo's "Meng Haoran"), but there is no lack of quiet artistic beauty and even more simple beauty of life that is y integrated into the flesh and blood of the whole poem. Meng Haoran seems to have found a sense of conversion here. The poet finally forgets all the setbacks in his political pursuits, his fame and fortune, and even the lonely and depressing emotions of his seclusion are completely thrown away. Thoughts finally stretch, and even the poet's initiatives are flexible, nature shows its conquering power here.

Spring sleep does not realize the dawn, everywhere heard the crowing birds. The night comes with the sound of wind and rain, and the flowers fall." These four lines of the poem is Meng Haoran's artistic and spiritual realm have reached the realization of the work. "The sound of wind and rain at night, how much do you know about the fall of flowers?" Wang Guowei commented that Li Yu's words were "just like the meaning of Sakyamuni Christ's burden of human sins", and Meng Haoran's two lines also contain a great depth of feeling. "His feelings and the feelings of all things have a ****ing", there is a deep sympathy for the universe and life. This poem expresses the highest metaphysical mind and the greatest style. It is the most natural poetry, the music of heaven. Meng Haoran is happy, he put his life from the realm of utility to the realm of heaven and earth, from me to no I, although this period of time he suffered a lot of sweet and bitter, but finally bitter and sweet

Plain: plain: Plain is different from the mediocre and tasteless, is the deep feelings and rich ideas in simple language, rich flavor, so often said plain and thoughtful. As Wang Anshi said: the most strange and seemingly ordinary, into as easy but hard.

Tao Yuanming is the first one to be bland, and there are not many people who can write poems to be bland. Li Yu's words are definitely not bland, but on the contrary, they have a strong power to inspire.

Chen Zi'ang: (661-702), the word Bo Yu, Zizhou Shehong (now belongs to Sichuan) . He was a member of a powerful family and was known for his chivalry. Later, he entered Chang'an and traveled to the Imperial College. At the beginning of the civilization, he was awarded a bachelor's degree and was appointed as the head of Lin Tai. He returned from an expedition to the Western Regions to Zhangye. Later, he was transferred to the right pickpocket. He also accompanied the army in the eastern expedition against Khitan, and participated in military affairs. After returning to the capital, still for the right gleaner. Counseling much disagreement, because of the dismissal of the official to return to his hometown. He was falsely accused by the county magistrate, imprisoned, and persecuted to death. His poems were aimed at restoring the bones of the Han and Wei Dynasties, changing the floating poetic style of the early Tang Dynasty, or satirizing and admonishing the government, or feeling the world, and making the sound of gold and stone on the ground. He was the pioneer of poetry innovation in the Tang Dynasty.
