Szimonidesz, an ancient Greek poet, once said, "Painting is a silent poem, and poetry is a picture with sound." This sentence is really appropriate to evaluate Wang Wei's "Luan Jia Se"-this poem is not only full of quiet and elegant picture beauty, but also full of implicit beauty behind the text, which makes people feel as if they are enjoying a kind of implicit music.
Qingshanbu Mo Qian Qiuhua
In ancient times, many people were good at poetry and painting, but only Wang Wei wrote The Complete Works of Mountains and Rivers (Song Han Zhuo). Therefore, Yin Yun, a contemporary of his, said that his poems were "elegant and ingenious, full of new ideas, and a pearl in spring. He painted with a pen" (He Yueying, Ji Ling). In fact, he can apply painting theory to poetry. The picturesque scenery in his poems and the poetic meaning in his paintings constitute his unique aesthetic interest in artistic observation. Most of his poems reflect beautiful and elegant picturesque scenery and show his simple love for life. This little poem outlines such a flowing picture:
The drizzle is like smoke, hanging in the distant sky like a curtain; The autumn wind is affectionate, and the fingers are gently raised from time to time. Sometimes a pool and sometimes a shallow wrasse flash across the rising valley. The flowing water on the stone is clear as silk, flowing briskly, swirling from time to time, especially in twists and turns, splashing white water from time to time, making the egret who is concentrating on foraging mistakenly think it is a flying stone, spreading its wings in horror and flying into a bright white lotus. When it understood, it quietly put its feet into the stream, so everything here was back to its original state.
In fact, there is an imaginary picture behind the text: in the face of all this, the poet is quietly looking at everything in front of him, his thoughts flow briskly with the splash of the stream for a while, and fly with the egret for a while ... At this moment, the poet has already turned into autumn water, a ray of autumn rain, an egret, showing his charm and arousing the wings of our hearts with natural charm and vitality. There is the beauty of Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, and I have long forgotten what Wang Wei is and what nature is ... Here, there is no longer a boundary between people and things, and poets do not express their aspirations and express their feelings; Don't talk to me. Don't hold anything. In this silent and natural observation, the poet saw the truth and filtered out the dust, which is also attributed to the most direct understanding and understanding of the essence and essence of individual life. No wonder Gu Lin in Ming Dynasty commented on this: "This scene is always there, many people don't watch it, and only the secluded can understand it."
Therefore, because there is "no dirt", the fine autumn rain emptied the dust in the air. In fact, it is also because there is no dust and distractions in the author's heart that it is possible to present such elegant ink and wash landscape paintings to readers. Of course, this is also because the author noticed:
Pay attention to the drawing structure: the poem lists autumn rain, slippery rocks, jumping waves, egrets and other things, which seems a little messy, but in the fourth sentence, the word "static" is written, and the picture suddenly moves, full of charm and vitality, thus forming a vivid and harmonious perfect picture with "Luan family color" as the canvas.
Pay attention to the combination of reality and fiction: at first glance, there are no color words in the poem except the monotonous word "white". In fact, this is the poet's ingenuity, because the images in the poem all contain dark colors, such as the shallow autumn stream in the rain is dark green, the stones in the stream are indigo blue, the splashing waves are pale white, and the egrets foraging are white. From the perspective of color alone, "white" is real writing, and the rest are imaginary writing. In such a mixed scene of reality and reality, in the thin autumn rain, a dark and bright scene was filmed, which is a fascinating scene.
Pay attention to the combination of dynamic and static: Wang Wei is very good at creating flowing pictures in his poems, but the most prominent feature of his pictures is to convey a static beauty through the use of dynamic and dynamic. In fact, the first three sentences of this poem are to set off the environmental description of "the surprise of egrets". The egret was frightened-flew-"fell back", which is the main image of the whole poem, and the poet deliberately described this false alarm. The poet skillfully contrasts the quietness of Luan's family color with the artistic technique of disturbing quietness, and makes the artistic conception more and more implicit through the "movement" of "egret".
Green water string-free eternal bomb
Wang Wei is also very accomplished in music, so he can feel and grasp the magical voice of nature more accurately than ordinary poets and show it. Therefore, the pictures created in his poems often have a quiet, cold or pleasant emotional experience, that is, the beauty of sound and rhyme.
There is no doubt that the subtle sound of wind and rain and the rushing sound of water in the poem give people an ethereal and lyrical serenade-like beauty, while the splashing waves and the startled egrets add several harmonious notes and break its monotony. Such a sound outside the painting will undoubtedly bring readers into an ethereal, clear and quiet realm. Not only that, the author also pays attention to the harmony of phonology in the use of words: "There are shallow stones in the rustling autumn rain." The reduplication "rustling" and "shallow" (pronounced as jiān, which means fast flowing water) is full of melody beauty. Moreover, the last sentence "Sasha Vujacic" is a falling tone, "Zhong" is a flat tone, and the tone changes from high to low, which is consistent with the autumn rain floating in the sky. The next sentence is dominated by dental sounds and dental sounds, "flowing clouds." "When the waves jump and splash, the egrets are surprised", neither onomatopoeia words are used to imitate the sound, nor verbs and adjectives are used to point out the sound of the scenery. Instead, we deliberately hide the sound in the image, but let us vaguely feel the splash of waves behind the words and the flapping of egrets' wings. Only in this way can the visual feeling and auditory feeling be communicated, and the sound and scenery can blend harmoniously. It's really a "sound painting" and it's really real to read. It is also in these voices that the poet's distant feelings are conveyed. As the saying goes, "Poetry is like a drum piano, and the sound can be seen in the heart" (Yuan Mei's "Follow the Fate"), and it is precisely this sound of nature far away from the hubbub that touches the sensitive poet's ambition of flowing mountains and rivers in his heart, and thus becomes poetry.
Look at the temperament behind the words.
Wang Wei's landscape poems can be said to have played to the extreme in meaning, wanting to spit but not show, wanting to show and hide, so that readers can understand each other in the blank and feel its inner meaning and the emotion behind the words. The implicit beauty of this song Luan Jia Se Te lies in:
Moral of fiction and fact: This poem, like the poet's other pastoral poems, is often written in imaginary places (landscapes), which makes people spread their imagination wings from imaginary images and look for the real things (emotions) hidden in the poem. The scenery here is empty, and it is true that the poet loves the seclusion here, but the word "love" (reality) is not mentioned between the lines, but is implicitly hidden in the beautiful scenery. In particular, the word "self" in "Jumping Waves and Splashing" reminds us that all these vivid changes are not man-made arrangements, but natural freedom. Everything in the world of life is natural, and it is to write an unimaginable heart by borrowing reality-"Jumping Waves and Splashing".
Implicit jump: Wang Wei is actually an expert in the use of montage, which can be seen from this poem. He jumped from the drizzle in the air to the turbulence in the stream, to the egret foraging, and then to the egret's surprised flight-"falling back" It's really a jumping scene, and it's Wan Li, which brings readers endless associations and recreates space. There are indeed "grass snakes"
Implicit conclusion: Wang Wei's landscape poems often end with meaningful sentences after "painting", thus making the whole realm of the poem come out. This poem reflects the tranquility of Luan's family color through a false alarm of "egrets are surprised again", indicating that there is no potential threat here and you can live a carefree and quiet life, and secretly telling that this is the ideal realm pursued by the poet.
There are no flowery words in the whole poem, so there is always an elegant atmosphere in the poem. People feel that the author lives poetically in this world that has nothing to do with prosperity and tastes life lightly. It is also the natural expression of the poet's indifference to the extreme, which makes people feel that the mind becomes ethereal and clear in an instant, as if the fireworks have been filtered out and entered a state of idleness, just as Hu Yinglin said in his poem, "Reading is carried away, and thoughts are all gone."

Translation of works
The stream in the valley twists and turns with different depths. Sometimes there is a deep pool, and sometimes there is a swift current. Although the current is swift, there are countless fish swimming, and egrets often feed here. Just as the crane was absorbed in waiting for food, the rapids collided with hard rocks, and splashing water droplets hit the crane like pebbles, scaring it to spread its wings and fly away. When it realized that it was a false alarm, it flew down calmly and landed in its original place.
Creation background
This poem was written by the author when he met the scenery.
