Kaiyuan Merry

() But at this time, although everyone was slightly disturbed, most of them were still immersed in the appreciation of the dual artistic conception of this song "Red Peony", and they didn't care about Bao Rong's gaffe at the beginning. The more you taste it, the more you feel This poem by Wang Wei is extremely exquisite!Especially for the scene at this time, everyone savored the whole poem while looking at the red peonies on the stage, and some people turned their eyes to the peony bushes outside the attic, feeling that the touch in their hearts was indescribable.

Let's look at the first two sentences from the superficial meaning of the poem. The first sentence is "green, leisurely and quiet", describing the state of the peony branches and leaves.The dark green leaves are elegant and beautiful; among the green leaves, there is a red peony in full bloom; the second sentence "red clothes are light and deep", there is green in the red, and there is a bright red in the green background. The color of the red is divided into layers, which makes the color tone have a harmonious beauty.

And at this time, look at this famous prostitute, Red Peony. The green gauze dress she is wearing is exquisitely crafted, with beautiful patterns on it, covering her bright wrists, which is really amazing. The peony has been extremely demure since its appearance, which makes people's hearts flutter, which completely fits the first sentence "green, leisurely and quiet". As for the second sentence "red clothes are light and deep", it refers to the red peony and green gauze The layered red skirt under it, from shallow to deep, is also extremely suitable for the occasion.

It can be said that the first two sentences fully express the characteristics of the red peony, the national flower of the Tang Dynasty, and the red peony, a famous performer on stage.

But the finishing touch of the whole poem is the last two sentences. On the surface, it can be seen like this: The poet is admiring the red peony. , actually gave birth to another emotion: the peony is in full bloom, but it is full of worries and sorrows; seeing this, I can't help but ask how I know the heart." It is the poet's ingenious expression of his joyful caressing mood, as well as his sympathy and love for beautiful things. .

But this sounds ironic at first glance, but if you taste it carefully, it will make literati feel quite superior. After all, this red peony, which can be called the king of flowers, also needs the sunshine of spring, just like The oiran red peony is also sought after by literati, which makes some literati feel extremely good about themselves.

If you take a closer look, you can see how delicate Wang Wei himself is. Such ingenuity has made many literary figures praise it again and again, and it is hard to let go.

Generally speaking, a rough look at such a poem by Wang Wei will definitely not be able to taste such beauty. If it is handed down to later generations, if the textual research party does not know that there was such a banquet in history, then the interpretation of it will be It must be superficial, and even related to the poet's life, saying that the red peony is a metaphor for the poet himself, while "chunse how to know the heart" is considered to be the poet's expression of his unappreciated emotion, but he does not know the most wonderful thing about the red peony. It's a pun.

While Wang Wei's poems are ingenious, Wei Zhi's regular script is undoubtedly excellent. He is free and easy, and he writes in one go. In the last two sentences, Wei Zhi realized Wang Wei's unique ingenuity, but when he wrote it, he was noble and glamorous, with a trace of gentleness and carelessness, which made some literati who were also skilled in calligraphy happy to see him. .

Among them is Cui Zongzhi. He was modest on the surface, but it was just to not embarrass Wang Wei. If Wei Zhi's calligraphy didn't catch his eye, then he would definitely get back in the future, but this time At that time, his thoughts like this dissipated completely, but he felt that Wei Zhi had the capital of arrogance, and it was interesting to be able to make friends with such a nobleman.

At this time, everyone was still immersed in the subtlety of the whole poem, and the audience seemed relatively quiet for a while, but no one thought that this person would be the first to break such a quiet atmosphere.

This person is Wu Daozi. I saw that his slightly aged cheeks were extremely excited because he was born in poverty. I suddenly want to paint a red peony, which has both the characteristics of a flower and a beauty. I wonder if I can record this poem in my painting?"

Generally famous paintings are matched with wonderful poems, just like a sword is matched with a hero, and red powder is given to a beautiful woman. Although there is no copyright statement at this time, the ownership of famous poems is still very particular. Plagiarism is a very serious matter. If they are discovered, their reputation and character will be ruined.

Wang Wei's face still looked very calm, giving the impression that he was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and very magnanimous, but he didn't know how strong the refreshing feeling was in Wang Wei's heart at this time. Who is this Wu Daozi?

Although Wu Daozi had just become a court painter at this time, it is not an exaggeration to call him the greatest painter of the Tang Dynasty throughout history. As a "patriarch", being able to be asked by such a great painter to record his poems on his paintings can almost make Wang Wei famous in history with this song "Red Peony".

If Wu Daozi's "Red Peony" can be passed down to later generations, people will inevitably study Wang Wei's poems when appreciating this painting, but Wang Wei's excitement quickly calmed down, because he thought about it, he was originally The famous "Poetry Buddha" in history was still honored as "Tianbao Wenzong" in the Kaiyuan Tianbao period, so I don't need to make a fuss about Wu Daozi's request.

So Wang Wei nodded, but he showed a look of honor. After all, he was just showing his talents at this time, and he couldn't compare with a great painter like Wu Daozi. Wang has an unfeeling request."

Wu Daozi was extremely impatient at this time, obviously he was inspired at this time, and wanted to go back immediately and use his inspiration to start writing, and the source of his inspiration was undoubtedly this poem by Wang Wei, so he said a little anxiously: "Young Master Wang Speaking."

Wang Wei maintained respect and said: "I heard that Wu Gongfeng is good at landscape painting, and Wang happens to like landscape painting, but he is not good at it. I don't know if Wu Gongfeng can give some pointers."

Wu Daozi suppressed his impatience and stroked his beard gently, but he was very satisfied with Wang Wei's respect in his heart. He had already had enough of the secret disdain of the children of the aristocratic family, but at this moment he found that Wang Wei, a talented and famous son, was asking him Asking for advice, not to mention the pride in his heart, he said very boldly: "If Mojie has any questions, you can come to me at will." Inadvertently, even the address became more intimate.

Wang Wei was delighted, he could get Wu Daozi's guidance, and there was no suspense for his painting skills to reach a higher level. You must know that Wu Daozi still has the name of the ancestor of Chinese landscape painting in history.

At this time, Wu Daozi also didn't care about the impoliteness of leaving the banquet early, he was only thinking about painting "Red Peony", and thinking that there was no one in the same circle as him at the banquet, this time he came here purely to see He Zhizhang To save face, he has King Ning behind him, but he doesn't have to be afraid of King Qi.

So he bowed his hands to everyone present, and said: "A wonderful poem written by Mojie just now greatly inspired Wu, and I couldn't help but want to pick up a brush and paint quickly. Wu must leave first, it's rude."

Wu Daozi strode away, but took another deep look at the famous prostitute Hong Mudan on the stage, and suddenly felt that this poem by Wang Wei really wrote the soul of Hong Mudan.

The departure of Wu Daozi finally made many people come back from the artistic conception, but they heard Zhang Ruoxu, a big man in the literary world, praised in a sad tone of "a new generation is better than the old": "I didn't expect that Wang Xiaolang's poem could be so good. It made Wu Gongfeng very inspired, and if it weren't for Mr. Cui's admiration, the old man would not have reacted at first, but after savoring it carefully, the old man really admires Wang Xiaolang's ingenuity. In today's banquet, there is this The first "Red Peony" is enough to be passed down in history."

As soon as Zhang Ruoxu's comment came out, everyone was shocked. This evaluation is too high. Although Zhang Ruoxu praised Cui Hao's "Qi Wang Xi Guan Ji" just now, he did not show it so much to Wang Wei. Such a beautiful word, not to mention Zhang Ruoxu's sad tone, also made everyone feel the subtle feeling of the passing of an era and the coming of an era.

Can Wang Wei really usher in an era?Everyone looked at Wang Wei who was still calm and serene, and felt that this handsome and elegant son of a famous family had already made people look up to him.

He Zhizhang was not far behind at this time, his old face was full of red, after all, this Wang Wei was specially invited by him, the better Wang Wei performed, the more face he would have, not to mention that Wang Wei's talent really made him People are amazed, who can inspire the court painter Wu Daozi with a poem, do you need to doubt his talent?

He Zhizhang first carefully commented on the beauty of Wang Wei's "Red Peony" (you can generally refer to the beginning of this chapter). , but those who were not deeply touched by Wang Wei's poem, naturally sighed again and again after being told by He Zhizhang, and they also had a deeper understanding of this poem.

After all, apart from people like Bao Rong who mistakenly thought that Wang Wei was only writing about flowers at first, there are still people who think that Wang Wei is completely writing about people, but they have not figured out the joint between the two. I understand the subtlety of this "pun".

"In short, this is indeed an excellent poem. What's even more rare is that Wang Xiaolang was able to conceive such an ingenious poem in a short period of time. Even He could not achieve such a quick and ingenious poem. Luck alone!" He Zhizhang finally came to such a conclusion.

Little did they know that Wang Wei had already been planning the show when Red Peony appeared on the stage. In order to make a name for himself, of course he had to think hard and use all means.
