Wei (699-759) was born in Taiyuan. There are also birth and death years of 70 1 to 76 1.
Precocious, and my younger brother Kim are very smart since childhood. At the age of fifteen, he went to Beijing to take an exam. Because Wang Wei can write good poems, is good at calligraphy and painting, and has a talent for music, he immediately became the darling of the princes and nobles in Beijing as soon as he arrived. There is a story about Wang Wei's talent in music: once, a man got a photo of playing music, but he didn't know why he was named after it. 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.
In terms of poetry, there are written materials written by Wang Wei 1578. It can be seen that Wang Wei was already a famous poet when he was a teenager. This is rare among poets. In the aristocratic hereditary society at that time, a versatile person would naturally be appreciated by Wei. So, at the age of twenty-one, he was admitted to Jinshi.
After becoming an official, Wang Wei used his leisure time in officialdom to build a villa at the foot of the South Blue Sky Mountain in Beijing to cultivate his self-cultivation. The owner of this villa is Song Wenzhi, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty. This is a very vast place, with mountains and lakes, Woods and valleys, and some houses scattered among them. At this time, Wang Wei and his intimate friends lived a leisurely life. This is Wang Wei's semi-official and semi-secluded life.
Wang Wei, who has been living a comfortable life, was involved in unexpected waves in his later years. An Shi Rebellion broke out in the 14th year of Tianbao in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (755). In the war, he was captured by the thief army and forced to be a fake official. However, this became a serious problem after the war subsided, so Wang Wei was handed over to the company for trial. Fortunately, in troubled times, he once wrote a poem yearning for the son of heaven. Under the mediation of his younger brother, then assistant minister of punishments, he was only saved from difficulties and was only demoted. Later, he was promoted to Shangshu Youcheng.
Wang Wei had positive political ambitions in his early years, hoping to make a great career. Later, the political situation changed, and he gradually became depressed, fasting and chanting Buddha. In his forties, he deliberately built a villa in Wangchuan, Lantian County, southeast of Chang 'an, and lived a semi-official and semi-secluded life. This poem is a chapter in Wang Wei's seclusion life. Its main content is "expressing ambition", which expresses the author's desire to stay away from the secular world and continue to live in seclusion. The scenery written in the poem is not deliberately laid out, natural and fresh, as if it is readily available, but from a distance, it has a profound connotation.
