Wang Wei: His Life
Wang Wei Wang Wei: His Life Wang Wei was born during the golden years of the Tang Dynasty, in the current city of Puxian, province of Shanxi, in 701, into an aristocratic family. His father, grandfather and great grandfather were all government officials. His mother belonged to a prominent family as well. Wang had at least four younger brothers and one younger sister. Wang’s family background helped especially during the second part of his life, but in the beginning of his governmental career it was more of a hindrance to his advancement. Wang Wei came of age during the reign of emperor Xuanzong, who ruled from 712 to 756. Academically he was a child prodigy. By the age of fifteen Wang went to the capital Chang’an (modern day Xi’an) to study with the famous and well known teachers in order to pass the imperial examinations needed to be assigned a government position. He wrote his first poem in 718 at the age of seventeen. In 720 he sat for the regional examinations, and passed with the highest score. This qualified him to sit for the most difficult test, the jinshi, taken in the capital during the early part of each year by several thousand candidates. Only…...- Amico

Wang Wei: Floating On the Pond Out Front
Wang Wei Floating on the Pond Out Front 泛前陂 秋 空 自 明 迥况 复 远 人 闻。畅 以 沙 际 鹤兼 之 云 外 山。 澄 波 澹 将 夕清 月 皓 方 闲。此 夜 任 孤 棹夷 犹 殊 未 还。 Fan Qian Bei Qiu kong zi ming jiongKuang fu yuan ren jianChang yi sha ji heJian zhi yun wai shan Cheng bo dan jiang xiQing yue hao fang xianCi ye ren gu zhaoYi yu shu wei huan. Floating on the Pond Out Front Autumn sky naturally bright and distantIt too is far away from the human world.Smooth sand in between the cranesLike these clouds around the mountains. Transparent waves in motion excites sunset lightClear moon lucidity facilitates idleness.This night I take up a solitary oarVacillating mind between beauty and going back. Commentary: The smooth sand between the cranes is typical of an accomplished painter of Wang Wei’s abilities and sensitivities to notice the negative space, kongbai, (空白) between the cranes. So often the ancient Chinese landscape paintings (mountains and rivers) have the kongbai of white clouds hovering in and around the mountains. This time it is the white sand along the riverbanks. The word “leisure” or “idleness” is often used throughout ancient…...- Amico

Wang Wei: His Work
Wang Wei Wang Wei: His Work The reign of Xuanzong (712-756) during the middle of the Tang Dynasty saw the peak of Chinese culture, prosperity and world influence. This period, known as the High Tang was an era of peace and economic growth. Emperor Xuanzong was a major patron of the arts, funding eight orchestras, a theater, and a dance school within the palace. Of the three major poets of this time, Li Bai, Du Fu and Wang Wei, Wang was the most prominent poet during their lifetimes. He was personally acquainted with every well-known poet, except Li Bai. He was also the only one to be consistently, yet not always, connected to the imperial court in the capital of Chang’an. He was considered an excellent craftsman and court poet, yet he wore both the tassled cap of the government official, and the cloth cap of a recluse. Wang Wei was famous for writing fine nature and landscape poetry. Many of these poems were either sent to friends, or used in connection with many of the send-off poems created upon departure of a friend, or himself, going off to travel to a new governmental position. A significant influence upon Wang…...- Amico
