王维
唐
Wang Wei, courtesy name Mojie, was a major Tang dynasty poet, painter, and musician from Puzhou in Hedong. He is one of the central figures of the High Tang landscape and pastoral tradition and is often paired with Meng Haoran as 'Wang and Meng.' Deeply influenced by Buddhism, Wang Wei developed a poetic style marked by quietness, clarity, emptiness, and meditative depth. Su Shi famously said of him: 'There is painting in his poetry, and poetry in his painting.' His representative works include 'Mountain Dwelling in Autumn Evening,' 'Deer Enclosure,' 'Bamboo Grove Lodge,' 'My Retreat at Zhongnan,' and 'On Mission to the Frontier.' 'Green Creek' clearly shows his gift for merging landscape perception with inner stillness.
