1, precocious, and smarter than his younger brother Jin, who is one year younger. At the age of fifteen, he went to Beijing to take an exam. Because he can write good poems, be good at calligraphy and painting, and have a talent for music, Wang Wei, a teenager, immediately became the darling of princes and nobles in Beijing. There is a story about his talent in music: once, a man got a photo of playing music, but I don't know why it was named. Wang Wei looked at it and replied, "This is the first shot of the third colorful feather." Musicians are invited to play, which is exactly the same.
When I was young, I was not only outstanding in literary talent, but also handsome in appearance. Therefore, many famous families and dignitaries hoped that Wang Wei could become his son-in-law, some entrusted the media to make peace, and some visited relatives in person, but Wang Wei politely declined.
It happened to be winter that year, and suddenly it began to rain, and the weather suddenly turned cold. Wang Wei has a cold, a little fever and is not feeling well. He went to see a doctor for treatment. The doctor prescribed several herbs to Wang Wei and told him to take the prescription and go to the pharmacy to buy medicine quickly.
The shopkeeper of the drugstore has an only daughter named Ziyun, who is 29 years old this year. She looks like a fairy, proficient in poetry and mystery. She is a famous talented woman in the town.
It happened that the shopkeeper was on a business trip that day, and Ziyun took care of the pharmacy on behalf of his father. When Wang Wei came to the drugstore, he was stunned to see that Ziyun was not a lady, but had a different charm. Ziyun was humble and asked Wang Wei gracefully, "What can I do for you, son?"
Wang Wei just came to his senses and quickly replied, "I caught a cold occasionally yesterday, so I bought some herbs to cure the disease." I wonder if your store has it? "
The girl smiled and asked, "Is there a prescription?"
Wang heard that Ziyun was very talented and decided to give it a try. He had a brainwave and said, "I came in a hurry and forgot to bring my prescription."
Ziyun said, "Do you remember the name of the medicine?"
Wang Wei said: "Remember, the first thing is-what is the banquet for the guests?"
Ziyun couldn't help wondering, but immediately understood: this man used it as an excuse to buy medicine for the girls who came to the exam. He twisted his body, his back to Wang Wei and his face to the medicine cabinet. He said: "After the banquet, of course it is angelica."
Wang Wei was surprised and secretly admired Ziyun's quick thinking. He added, "I won't get lost in the darkness at night."
The girl immediately guessed again, still turning her back on Wang Wei, asking and answering, "How much is the land preparation?"
"Another hundred years of mink."
"'Chenpi' is also available."
"I hope the husband and wife will grow old together."
"'Lily' is new."
……
Wang Wei was impressed by the talent of Ziyun girl, and a good feeling arose. After buying the medicine, I calmed down for a long time and felt that Ziyun was the couple I hoped for in the future. But he doesn't know what others think, so it's not convenient to ask directly. He decided to test the girl again, so he picked up a pen, wrote a poem on a piece of paper, then folded it several times, called an extremely bookish and told him, "I went to buy medicine just now, but I bought less." Take this prescription and buy two more clothes at once. "
Very helpful to the pharmacy, saying that the prince asked him to buy medicine, and then gave the prescription to Ziyun. Ziyun unfolds it-what is the prescription? This turned out to be a mysterious poem:
Unfortunately, both of them are missing. The study is off-center, and there is no inkstone.
There are few girls around the golden boy, and there is no worry about sunny days.
Ziyun's careful choice of words turned out to be a four-word idiom: love at first sight. I couldn't help blushing, so I pretended to take medicine and turned away. I asked extremely, "What's the name of that prince?"
Busy busy replied: "It's the famous poet Wang Wei!"
Huh? It turns out that he is Wang Wei! In fact, Ziyun girl also fell in love with this handsome wit who bought medicine. She was even happier when she heard that it was Wang Wei. She bowed her head and thought about it. She lied to the very young people that the drugstore Wang Wei bought was incomplete and asked him to come back tomorrow. After that, I also gave Wang Wei a mystery poem, and then folded it for the extremely good to take back.
Wang Wei received Ziyun's reply and quickly looked around-
On January 1st, the two met happily and became attached to the monk.
Seeing the ancient temple deep in the bamboo forest, Yi Gang opened his mouth without trace.
At first glance, Wang Wei suddenly became cold. On second thought, I couldn't help laughing. The original mystery poem means: wait for you tomorrow.
3. Wang Wei should take the initiative, and Princess Taiping poured his literary talent and recommended it as a solution. At this time, Princess Taiping was widowed (or unmarried), and she was merciful to Wang Wei and wanted to recruit Wang Wei as her husband. According to Wang Wei, he said he already had a heart. The princess hates her because of love. If she doesn't want to be a husband, she will tell her father and mother to get rid of the king. Wang's wife (fiancé e at this time, um) learned about this matter, resigned voluntarily for the sake of her sweetheart's career, left a letter and left. After Wang Wei confessed to the princess that he had lost his sweetheart, he went to find his fiancee and left. The Queen Princess thought it over and over again and made it perfect for them (she is the princess of Datang, so thoughtful. . . )。 After Wang Wei got married, he and his wife have always loved each other. However, Wang's wife died of illness. After his wife's death, Wang Wei made an oath at his wife's grave that he would never get married again. From then on, I studied Buddhism and settled between mountains and rivers.
4. Wang Wei also talked about some specific cultivation things in his poems: he likes to read biographies of eminent monks and sometimes looks at cultivation methods; He carved the head of his walking stick into the shape of a turtledove and put the turtle shell under the bed. When you have nothing to do, you burn incense and meditate under the north window. When living in seclusion in the mountains, a group of people come to meditate together, and one person has different fun. When he lived in seclusion in Songshan, he also had the experience of closed-door practice.
Introduction-
Wang Wei (70 1-76 1) was born in Qi, Taiyuan (now Qixian, Shanxi). Born into a family of bureaucrats and landlords for generations. His mother, Cui Shi, has been a Buddha for more than 30 years. Vimalakīrti Jing is a Buddhist classic, a book told by the wise man Vimalakīrti and his disciples. Wang Wei's name and words are taken here. Wang Wei's seclusion in his later years was related to Buddhism. The book "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty" says that Wang Wei is early and wise. "At the age of nine, I knew the words of my subordinates, and I was as famous as my younger brother. I was a filial friend." /kloc-visited Chang 'an and Luoyang on June 6 and 7, seeking career advancement. During this period, I wrote some ranger poems. In July of the seventh year of Kaiyuan (7 19), he went to Beijing to try Zhaofu and got a solution. He is an all-rounder in literature and art, famous for his poems, essays, books and paintings. He is also proficient in music and is good at playing the piano and pipa. In the ninth year of Kaiyuan (72 1), he was a scholar, served as an official such as Tai Lecheng, and then abandoned his official to live in seclusion. In the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan (729), he studied under the Daoguang Zen master Dunjiao of Dajianfu Temple in Chang 'an. In the 19th year of Kaiyuan, Wang Wei's wife died. He never remarried and lived alone for thirty years.
In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan (735), Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling was promoted to the right. In the twenty-five years (737), in order to supervise the empire, he was sent to the frontier fortress in spring, where he stayed for nearly a year and wrote some famous frontier fortress poems.
In the first year of Tianbao (742), Wang Wei turned left to fill the vacancy. Since then, he has repeatedly moved to Shi Shiyu, Kubu Yuanwailang, Kubu Langzhong and other places. However, witnessing the dark corruption of state affairs, he deeply felt that the enlightened politics of the past had disappeared. So I adopted a semi-official and semi-secluded lifestyle, muddling along. He managed Wangchuan Villa in Lantian and studied Buddhism and Taoism. During this period, many of his poems were deeply influenced by Buddhism and Taoism. His thought is a mixture of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which is indispensable in his attitude towards life, but he seeks comfort.
His "seclusion" method enabled him to gain a peaceful and quiet state of mind, and also freed him from officialdom and devoted himself to the embrace of nature, thus creating a large number of pastoral poems.
In the 14th year of Tianbao (755), An Shi Rebellion broke out. In June of the following year, Chang 'an fell, and Xuanzong fell to Shu. Wang Wei was appointed as the secretariat at that time, but he was not as good as the emperor and was captured by the rebels. He doesn't want to be a fake official, take medicine to treat dysentery and pretend to be familiar with the disease. An Lushan imprisoned him in Bordet, and forced him to be a puppet institution. In July, Su Zong set up Lingwu, and Yuan changed to De. In August, An Lushan hosted a banquet in Ningbichi, a forbidden garden in Luoyang, and ordered all the workers in Liyuan to play music, and all the workers wept. When Wang Wei heard about this matter in Bordet, he wrote a poem with tears in his eyes, "Bordet Ji forbade Peidi to come to see thieves and other people who sacrificed music on Ningbi Pool, so he wept privately and recited Peidi's slogan":
Every family is sad and crazy, and every official wants to go to heaven. Autumn leaves of Sophora japonica fall in vain in the palace, and orchestral music is played in the pool.
Express grief over the fall of the Imperial Capital and yearning for the Li and Tang Dynasties. In September, Wang Wei was forced to assume a false post.
In the second year of Zhide (757), Tang Jun recovered two cities. Anyone who has been a fake official will be sentenced to six levels. Give Wang Wei a lighter punishment and cut officials for the people. In the spring of the following year, he was reinstated as an official, responsible for granting Prince Zhongyun and adding Jixian Hall to learn the soil. In the same year, he was promoted to the son of the prince and the son of Zhongshu. In the second year of Gan Yuan (759), he returned to the pageant. In the first year of Shangyuan (760), he was promoted to the position of Shang Shu You Cheng.
Wang Wei felt deeply guilty about his behavior of "not being a thief, not being killed, betraying the country and dragging out an ignoble existence" (Recommended Brother Table). He saw that the imperial court was not happy when Zhang was engaged in politics and Li was engaged in dictatorship, so his thoughts were even more depressed. "In the capital, there are more than a dozen people, who are tired of Japanese food and take pleasure in metaphysics. There is nothing in the lent, only tea stalls, medicine mortars, scriptures and rope beds. After retiring from the DPRK, I burned incense and sat alone, focusing on meditation "(Old Tang Book).
In July (76 1), this talented poet passed away. After his death, he was buried in the west of Qingyuan Temple, next to Wangchuan where he lived for many years.
Wang Wei's friend Yuan Xian called him a "contemporary poet who is also good at Zen" in Rewarding Wang Wei Xu. Tang Daizong called himself "a literate sect in the world" in Answer to Wang Jin's Collection in Wang Youcheng. Du Fu's poem "Relieve boredom" says that he is "the most beautiful sentence, and the atlas is complete." The Book of Old Tang Dynasty originally called him "the most famous poet in Tianbao". Poetics later called him "Shi Fo".
