In the Mountain and Pei Xiucai's Land Book is an essay written by Wang Wei, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. It is a letter, and because of its poetic beauty and rhythm, it became a famous prose work in the Tang Dynasty. The full text describes the colors of spring and winter in Wangchuan, the night under the moonlight, the faint battlements and other scenery. There is movement in silence, and there is silence in movement, which describes the depth of winter night and the lightness of spring.
The full text (excerpt) is as follows:
It's mid-spring, the vegetation grows, the spring mountain can be expected, the water is light, the wings of Bai Ou are right, the dew is wet and green, and the wheat is in the morning, not far away. If you can swim past me? If you are not different in nature, may I invite you to do your own thing? And this has a deep purport! No negligence. For the man who came out of the mountain carrying Phellodendron amurense, let him bring you this letter, without going into details.
The translation is as follows:
When spring comes, vegetation will spread and grow, and the mountain scenery in spring will be more enjoyable. Agile minnows will jump out of the water, Bai Ou will spread his wings, the morning dew will wet the green grass, and pheasants will sing in the early morning wheat fields. These scenery are not far from now. Do you want to play a game?
If you are not different in nature, can I take inviting you as my own business? And there is a deep purport in it! Don't ignore it. Because a man came out of the mountain carrying a phellodendron amurense, I asked him to bring this letter to you, so I won't elaborate on it one by one.
Extended data:
Wang Wei lived in seclusion in Wangchuan for twenty years before and after Kaiyuan. He has a special affection for rural scenery and natural scenery, and wrote many songs to praise the life and scenery there. In seclusion, he often talks about Sang Ma with wild elders, drinks poems with friends and talks about scriptures with mountain monks.
Among these people, Pei Di is his best companion. Before moving to Wangchuan, they lived in seclusion in Zhong Nanshan together. After Song Wenzhi won Lantian Villa, they often "live in peace, play the piano and compose poems, and sing songs all day long".
The following six words, "All plants and soldiers", succinctly describe a vibrant scene, with white snapper swimming briskly in the water, Bai Ou flying with vigorous wings, pheasants chirping in the wheat fields, plants staining the mountains in spring, and dew moistening the river banks, all of which are in sharp contrast with the elegant and cold scenery at the end of the year.
The author not only retains a strong sense of wandering in the cold winter night, but also keenly feels that spring is coming, and he has begun to taste his keen interest in the future. This shows that Wang Wei, a mountain man, is the kind of person who has a strong interest in natural scenery and a strong understanding of Jiashan Lishui. He can not only find hazy and clear scenery in the cold winter night at the end of the year, but also imagine beautiful spring scenery with his own experience.
People say that there are pictures in Wang Wei's poems, but in fact there are pictures in Wang Wei's works. Although the Book of Mountains and Pei Xiucai is a letter, it can be said that it is also a beautiful prose written by the author with the poet's language and the painter's conception, and a lyric poem praising natural scenery and expressing friendship.
