Bird Watching Creek is a poem by Wang Wei, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem depicts the tranquility and beauty of the mountain in the spring night sky, with emphasis on the tranquility and beauty of the mountain at night. The whole poem closely follows the word "quiet", which is very similar to a landscape sketch. With moving scenery such as falling flowers, the moon rising and birds singing, the poet highlights the quietness of the spring mountain on a moonlit night, achieves the artistic effect of moving with quietness, and vividly outlines a poetic picture of "the mountains are more secluded". The whole poem is aimed at writing quietly, but it is handled with moving scenery. This contrast is very obvious to the poet's Zen and interest.

Make an appreciative comment

Wang Wei likes to create a peaceful artistic conception in his landscape poems, and so does this poem. But the poem is about flowers falling, the moon rising and birds singing. These moving scenery not only make the poem look full of vitality, but also show the tranquility of the spring through movement. On the contrary, dynamic scene can achieve static effect, because the two sides of contradiction are always interdependent. Under certain conditions, movement can occur or be noticed, which is based on silence. "Tonamiyama is more secluded" contains artistic dialectics.
