"Looking for Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty".
Since "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an" detonated on the Internet, Tang poetry has returned to the public eye. In 2023, I will re-acquaint myself with Li Bai, Du Fu, and Su Shi, but I seem to have missed a very important person, Wang Wei, who is known as the "Buddha of Poetry".
Which poem did you first know Wang Wei?It is "a stranger in a foreign land, and I miss my relatives every festive season." Or "May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely." "He is a very famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. He was born in a prestigious family, has been smart since childhood, and is good at ** painting, and he is famous in the capital at a young age.
After all, the Tang Dynasty is more than 1,000 years old, and we know very little about the life and deeds of the poets except for the poems that can be learned in books.
In the book "Looking for Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty", the poet Shang Zhen describes Wang Wei's life with open strokes, telling a story about Wang Wei who has not been talked about by others and has not been explained thoroughly.
Family background, love road, imperial examination, official career, seclusion ......To understand Wang Wei, you might as well follow Shang Zhen to the Tang Dynasty to visit in person. From the growth trajectory and ideological changes of the poet Buddha Wang Wei, we can understand his rich, complex and harmonious spiritual personality.
Wang Wei, who is tactful, subtle, not intense, and not hot-blooded.
Wang Wei is a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family and a famous family. 's father is Fenzhou Sima, but unfortunately he passed away early, and Wang Wei, as the eldest son, took on the burden of revitalizing the family at the age of 9 and a half. When the young man encountered a family accident, Wang Wei was forced to grow up, and his personality was more calm and cautious.
At the age of 15, Wang Wei went straight to Chang'an with his younger brother to prepare for the examination for fame. Chang'an is the Chang'an of poetry, and the military and economy are inseparable from poetry. Therefore, he was ready to knock on the door of Chang'an with poetry. At that time, his poem "Over the Tomb of Qin Shi Huang" can reflect Wang Wei's character. The gist of the poem is to sigh "the power of life, but the decadence of death".
Wang Wei's whole life has been like this, not in the high voice, nor in the low range, with his own self-cultivation, to control his agitation, as if to tell the story, but it is logical, rich in connotation, and rarely murderous. ”
First acquaintance with Princess Yuzhen
Wang Wei was admitted to the Jinshi, and Princess Yuzhen had made great efforts. Their relationship is extraordinary, but as for whether there is a private affair between men and women, it is estimated that only the parties themselves know.
Wang Wei was able to write poetry at the age of 9 and was proficient in music and rhythm, and was the guest of King Ning and King Qi. Princess Yuzhen has a hobby**, and there are three pipa players in the house. She also has two hobbies, one is to like versatile people, and the other is to like handsome little boys. Wang Wei just fits both.
On Princess Yuzhen's birthday, Wang Wei pretended to be a musician found by King Qi and played a song "Yulun Robe", which amazed everyone. Princess Yuzhen praised: "The prince's eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and the weather is extraordinary, especially the white and red face is like a soft dough, which is very lovely." ”
In the coming year, Wang Wei Jinshi and the first, a foreign guest restaurant found Wang Wei to inscribe a poem, and he wrote with a pen: "There is no guest retreat all year round, and there is no intention to be idle all day long." "High school jinshi is a gratifying thing, but Wang Wei, who yearns for an idyllic life, feels a lot of pressure.
Hasn't Wang Wei always longed for an idyllic life, why not learn from Tao Yuanming to resign and go into hiding
This is inseparable from Wang Wei's original family. His father died early, and the eldest son took his father's place, and he couldn't bear to shirk the burden of the family's livelihood. In the poem, he said, "The younger sister grows up, but the brother is not married." The family is poor and thin, and the savings are not vegetarian", so"I want to fly a few times, and I hesitate to look at each other"., I didn't dare to put aside this burden, and went to seclusion alone.
In history, Wang Wei is not as chic and uninhibited as Li Bai, nor is he like Du Fu who has the world in his heart, and his experience is more valuable for ordinary people. Learn from him to "live up to the truth". Take the initiative to shoulder family responsibilities and be conscientious;At the same time, we look inward and enrich our own small world.
Life is not only pastoral and poetic, but also the past.
After reading this book like reading **, such a three-dimensional Wang Wei, do you love it more.
