Wang Jian (about 767-83 1) was born in Yingchuan (now Xuchang, Henan). Born in a poor family, he "joined the army for thirteen years" and lived in the countryside, "worrying about food and clothing all day long". After forty years old, he became an official with white hair and sank into the Xiaguan, and people called him Wang Sima. He wrote many Yuefu poems, sympathizing with people's sufferings, and was as famous as Zhang Ji. He also wrote hundreds of palace poems, which not only describe the traditional palace grievances, but also describe the palace scenery extensively, and are important materials for studying the palace life in the Tang Dynasty. He wrote some small characters with unique style. The original name of the banter order is banter palace. It can be seen that this is a joke for the king, but Wang Jian used it to write the grievances of the women in the palace: "The round fan, the round fan, the beauty covers the face. Jade face gaunt for three years, who will discuss orchestral again? Chord tube, chord tube, spring grass Zhaoyang road is broken. " The last sentence is very firm, and the feeling of seeing it is vividly on the paper. Another example is "Three Stations in the South of the Yangtze River": "The little girl by the pool in Yangzhou has been doing business in the city for a long time. I haven't heard from you for three years, and I worship ghosts and pray for God. " This is pure line drawing, which means nothing.

Poets in Tang Dynasty. When his family came down, he left home at an early age and went to live in the countryside of Weizhou. When I was about 20 years old, I met Zhang Ji, studied with my teacher and began to write Yuefu poems. In the 13th year of Zhenyuan (797), he left home and went to Youzhou in the north and Jingzhou in the south, and wrote some poems about frontier wars and military life. After joining the army 13 years (a school book in Bieyang), I left the army and lived in Xianyang countryside, living a life of "food and clothing all day long" (13 original new houses). Yuan and eight years (8 13) or so, as a county official. In the first year of Changqing (82 1), he moved to Taifu Temple as a secretary. When I was in Chang 'an, I had contacts with Zhang Ji, Han Yu, Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi and Juyuan Yang. At the beginning of Daiwa, he moved to Taichang Temple. In about three years of Daiwa (829), he became Sima of Shaanxi. Known as Wang Sima. In the fifth year of Daiwa, Jia Dao went to write poems for the secretariat of Gwangju (the place where he was now in Huangchuan, Henan Province). After that, the trace is unknown.

Wang Jian lived in poverty all his life, so he had the opportunity to get in touch with social reality and understand people's sufferings, and wrote a lot of excellent Yuefu poems. His Yuefu poems are as famous as Zhang Ji's Yuefu poems, and are called "Zhang Wang Yuefu" in the world. His poems have a wide range of themes, strong flavor of life, profound thoughts and clear love and hate. For example, Tianjiaxing, Silkworm Collection Ci, Window Weaving, Brocade, Pricking Ci, Qufu, Shuifu Ballad, Hairen Ballad, etc. Reflect the painful life of working people and express deep sympathy for the tragic situation of working women. Two white songs, feather in the forest, shooting tigers, etc. It reveals the dark social reality such as dissolute monarch, fierce power and warlord scuffle; Gu Congjun, a trip to Liaodong, a trip to Liaoning, and a trip to Liangzhou. They criticized the frontier wars that brought disasters to the broad masses of people, and at the same time condemned the incompetence of frontier generals who did not know how to recover lost territory, showing their progressive stance of opposing militaristic tactics and lamenting the decline of the country. In addition, he also has some works, such as Divine Comedy and Family Stay, which describe rural customs and life pictures. "Farewell Song" and "Listening in the Mirror" show women's yearning for their relatives who have traveled far away. Poems of Wang Fu and Poems of Jingwei eulogized the faithful love and the fighting spirit of the oppressed. There are also a few works that reveal negative emotions such as impermanence of life, sighing for the old and hurting the poor.

Wang Jian's Yuefu poems are good at selecting people, events and environments with typical significance in life, making artistic generalizations, reflecting the reality vividly and revealing contradictions. He seldom makes comments in his poems, but uses the methods of contrast, line drawing, contrast and setting off to reproduce the reality through the confessions of various images or characters. Or highlight the theme with a heavy pen at the end and come to an abrupt end. The pen is concise and sharp, with strong penetrating power, implicit tone and implicit intention. The genre is mostly seven-character songs with short length. The language is easy to understand, concise and clear, full of folk songs and proverbs. Rhyme is flat and even, often changing the rhyme every two or four sentences, with short rhythm and strong encouragement. These characteristics form the unique artistic style of Wang Jian's Yuefu poems.

Wang Jian is also famous for Gong Ci. His hundreds of palace ci poems have broken through the stereotype of predecessors describing palace grievances, and widely described the palaces, towers, ceremonies and festivals, as well as the pleasure hunting of emperors, the singing and dancing of geisha musicians, the life of ladies-in-waiting and all kinds of trivial things in palaces, which are like amorous feelings paintings, and are important materials for studying court life in Tang Dynasty. Ouyang Xiu's "Poem on June 1st" once pointed out that its content "said many things that were taboo in Tang Palace, which were not found in historical novels". The description in the poem is also lifelike, so it is widely circulated and quite imitated. Wei Qingzhi's Poet Jade Scrap quoted the old postscript of Tang Wang's Gong Jian Ci, saying that "although several people benefited from this style, they were all built as ancestors". Wang Jian's five or seven words are close to his body, and some of his works, such as banishment, travel, parting, seclusion, etc., can also be "moved by real life experiences, which Taoist priests can't reach" (Biography of Talented Persons in Tang Dynasty). However, these poems are often mixed with negative and decadent ideas and lack obvious artistic characteristics. His quatrains are fresh and graceful and can be recited. He also wrote three poems, such as Palace Three and Jiangnan Three, and was one of the important writers of literati ci in the middle Tang Dynasty.
