1000 years ago, on a rainy night, in a quiet temple, the poet Wei escaped while sleeping. It's so quiet around now, you can hear the sound of leaves falling one by one. These fallen leaves hit the poet's heart and made him feel more lonely and desolate. At such a moment, he thought of his friend Cui Zhuben. So I have a thousand words to say in my heart, so I just put on my clothes and get out of bed, and turned on the blue light.
What should I write to my friends? How can I express my thoughts? The poet sat under the lamp and thought. The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the falling rain outside the window has never stopped. In the dark, fireflies fly to high shelves by weak light. The sound of nature and the beautiful natural scenery make the poet deeply touched. A cold wind blew, and he shivered and felt his thin clothes, which made him feel deeply. The coolness of autumn night and the ups and downs of fate made his eyes sour. So I wrote a timeless quatrain with a pen: Wei's "Leaving the Temple Alone at Night to Send a Bamboo Book"
You are lonely and sleepless, and the leaves are falling.
The cold rain is darker and deeper, and the fireflies are horizontal.
Sitting and letting the blue light shine also hurts the summer dress.
It's better to know when you're old than to live in other places.
As a busy modern person, we are in a hurry all day with life as an excuse. Have we ever experienced the beauty of loneliness in nature? The sound of fallen leaves in autumn rain and beautiful fireflies flying to high bookshelves are beautiful pictures that I dare not even think about. Even when we are filled with emotion, we are not like the ancients, who wrote a poem for a friend. Then, after a long wait in Qianshan, our friend finally received the letter and understood the writer's mind. And that friendship, because of Qian Shan and the precipitation of time, is as mellow and charming as an altar of old wine. We modern people have telephones, emails, WeChat and QQ, and a thousand words can be delivered in the blink of an eye. Speak of the devil, lightning can spread every beautiful moment in your life. But compared with the ancients, there is always a little less caring and caring.
Time used to be slow, but poetry books were fragrant and long. Slow down the pace of life, calm down and read a poem, not to experience it with your heart, just to appreciate the beauty in the poem. In the sound of falling rain, listen to the voice of a fallen leaf and share the faint sadness and happiness of autumn rain, so as to realize the true meaning of life!
The landscape poets in Tang Dynasty, represented by Wang Wei, have an important position in the history of China's poetry. The school of landscape poetry mentioned here includes some poets who expressed their inner world with landscape as the aesthetic object from the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the middle Tang Dynasty. They are Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, Pei Di, Chang Jian and Chu Guangxi in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and Liu Changqing, Wei and Liu Zongyuan in the middle Tang Dynasty. From the life experience, creation and social activities of this group of poets, it is not difficult to see that they have a deep relationship with cultivation in ideology and artistic style, and are deeply influenced by cultivation. The poet writes about the scenery of qinghui with a calm heart. It is ethereal and bright, with natural charm, detached from worldly customs and long artistic conception.
They played up the tranquility of the scenery and the noise and tranquility away from the world. In fact, the purpose of writing about landscapes is to write about this barren tranquility and to be reluctant to part with the changes in the outside world. They are happy to deal with nature, and they are also happy to live in the mountains and get a peace of mind. In fact, the quiet atmosphere in the landscape is not an objective description, but mainly a state of mind. "Building a house should be people-oriented, without horses and chariots. What can you do? The heart is far from being biased. " This song "Drinking" shows that this meaning is the most appropriate. They all have a lot of contact with practitioners, and their poetic style is also deeply influenced by practice. Wang Wei's poems are deeply influenced by Zen thought and often contain profound Zen meaning. In addition, there are a large number of Zen poems with Buddhist practice as the theme. In Wang Wei's poems, the words "Jing", "Jing", "Yuan" and "Leisure" are his favorite words, as well as Buddhist terms such as Zen, silence and lifelessness. He can observe nature and express it in words with a calm and leisurely mood.
It is precisely because he often looks at everything from the perspective of a Zen master that his poems have a kind of purity and tranquility, full of Zen, such as: "People are idle with osmanthus fragrance, and the night is quiet and the mountains are empty." When the birds are startled in the moon and the springs are singing. "("Bird Watching Creek ")" In the rustling autumn rain, shallow pomegranates shed. The jumping waves splashed from themselves, and the egret was shocked. "("Luan Jia Se ") and the famous sentence" There is moonlight in the pine forest and crystal stone in the stream "("Autumn Night in the Deep Mountains ") can often purify readers' hearts and give people endless quiet reverie. Wang Wei's last scene is also quite meaningful. "Biography of Wang Wei in the Old Tang Dynasty" says: "On his deathbed, Fengxiang was bound and suddenly took a pen as a farewell book. I have also written several farewell books with my relatives in my life, and many friends have given up their pens in order to cultivate their hearts. "
The relationship between Wang Wei and Buddhism in his life and his practice of Buddhism are clear at a glance. Wei was a famous poet in the middle Tang Dynasty. Nearly 30 of Wei's poems are directly related to Zen monks in Zen temples. As can be seen from the poem, the poet's Zen consciousness is conscious and strong. For example, the poem says "You can donate if you are worried about your family" ("To Li Wei"), "Fate makes people tired, and you realize the Tao later" ("Answer Master Cui's question, simply and gently"). And what I learned today: "Stay alone in the temple, send a letter to Cui Zhushu", "The sunset shines on the frame, and the green hills are far from the forest". As soon as a mysterious person looks up, he is very handsome. "("Chanpu Temple Pavilion ")" I pity the grass alone, and there are orioles singing in the trees. Spring tides bring rain late, and there is no boat crossing in the wild. " (In Chuzhou, Xixi).
Learn from another poem by Wei:
A poem for a Taoist priest
It's very cold in the county today, and I suddenly think of people who live in seclusion in the mountains.
You must collect firewood at Jiandi and cook some poor food when you come back.
I want to see you with a bottle of wine, so that you can get some comfort at night.
But autumn leaves are full of empty mountains. Where can you find your footprints?
Su Dongpo loves this poem very much, and even wrote a poem "Send Deng Daoshi and Quote" according to the original rhyme: "A cup of Luo Fuchun will reward the guests far away. If you know it from a distance, you will be drunk and lie down. You are invisible. You can smell the moon and dusk. Speaking of people in the opera house, there is no trace of flying in the air. " Several parts of this poem are written in pen, such as "lying drunk on a stone" compared with "or cooking Grand White Rock to make potatoes in his hut", and "flying in the air without a trace" and "How can I find his footprints!" Wait. But they are just farther away from Wei's natural poetic style, and Wei is the best critic.
Wei (737-792) was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. Chang 'an (now Xi, Shaanxi) people. Wei was brilliant since he was a child. In his early years, he was unrestrained and unrestrained, and he was rampant in the village and was accused by fellow villagers. From the age of 15, Sanweilang was the personal attendant of Tang Xuanzong, and he was free to enter and leave the palace. The entourage was also very lucky. Since the Anshi Rebellion, Xuanzong went to Shu, lost his job, started reading, ate less and drank less, and often "burned incense and swept the floor". From Guangde to Zhenyuan, Wei successively joined the army as Luoyang Cheng, Jingzhaofu Gongcao, Yuanwailang from other departments, Chuzhou, Jiangzhou Secretariat, Langzhong and Suzhou Secretariat. In the seventh year of Zhenyuan (79 1), he retired to Yongding Temple in Suzhou. The world calls Wei Jiangzhou, Wei Wei or Wei Suzhou. Wei died in Zhenyuan in early 792. After being transported back to Chang 'an, it was buried in Shaoling ancestral home in November.
Wei is an idyllic poet, and later generations are also called "Wang, Meng, Wei and Liu". Wei's poetry is the highest in the five dynasties, with its diluted style and simple language, and is famous for being good at writing scenery and describing secluded life. Up to now, there are Wei Jiangzhou Collection 10, Wei Suzhou Poetry Collection, Wei Suzhou Collection 10. There is only one essay left. Wei is not only a famous poet and local official, but also a Buddhist believer. Among his Buddhist poems, there are poems about visiting Buddhist temples, poems about making friends with and praising monks, poems about expressing his understanding of knowledge and lamenting the impermanence of the world.
