Wang Wei was a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. His poems and paintings were highly praised by scholars of all ages. Su Shi once said in Song Dynasty: "Poems with clear taste contain pictures; Looking at the pure painting, there are poems in the painting. " (Dongpo Zhi Lin). Modern Mr. Qian Zhongshu further added: "As a verve poet and freehand painter, Wang Wei is also consistent in artistic themes and expression techniques." "(Chinese painting and China's poems). However, why does Wang Wei's poem "have pictures in it"? How did his poems achieve "painting in poetry"?

First of all, Wang Wei's landscape poems treat natural objects with the painter's eyes. The images written in Wang Wei's poems reflect the essence of poetry and painting.

Wang Wei's poems, especially pastoral poems, have one in almost every capital, and each one has artistic conception, which gives viewers room for association and aftertaste.

His masterpiece "Autumn Night in the Mountains" stands in the autumn night after the rain. Moonlight in the pine forest, crystal stone in the stream. On the whole, this poem has won the interest of "painting in poetry" as Dongpo Zhi Lin said. Judging from the composition, the vision of this poem is empty mountains and new rain, and the weather is late autumn. Close-up, the moonlight is scattered, the clear spring flows on the stone, and the model-like Huan girl and fisherman are next. The last sentence is empty, and its meaning has been implied in the distance of the first three sentences. Because "the distant mountains are colorless, and there is no wave in the distant water", the first and second couplets are really the background and voiceover, and the couplet in the middle is the highlight. Therefore, as long as we firmly grasp the three typical images of "pine, bamboo and lotus" that express the poet's character, that is, tall and straight, extraordinary, elegant and clean, we can appreciate the simplicity and freedom of the female fisherman in Huan as the embodiment of the poet's ideal of living in the mountains and the artistic conception of this poem.

Secondly, poetry and painting pay attention to commercial site selection. When painting, the painter pays attention to the layout of the scene position, that is, the management position of the painting. In Wang Wei's poems, every one pays attention to "business position". The picture is clear, self-contained, and there are not many similarities.

For example, there are two pairs in the middle of Wang Wei's masterpiece "Making Frontier Fortress": "If you levy Peng, you will return to Hu Tian. The vast desert is lonely, and the Yellow River sets the yen. Starting with the artistic image of overlooking the grass and looking up at the geese, the author erected a towering space from top to bottom for us, and then horizontally displayed a long-span space overlooking the desert with thick and hearty pen and ink. Then, in the dialogue, it crossed a big river obliquely and disappeared into the distant sunset sky. So the author created a deep space leading to the front for us. At this point, the author has opened a broad visual world for us from three directions: up, down, left, right and left. When we read this poem, we will have an open-minded and magnificent feeling.
