What is the interpretation of Wang Wei’s ancient poem in Luzhai?

"Luzhai"

No one can be seen in the empty mountain, but the sound of people's voices can be heard.

Returning to the deep forest, the light shines on the moss again.

Meaning:

The mountains are empty and quiet, no one can be seen, only the sound of people talking can be heard.

The golden light of the setting sun shines directly into the deep forest and shines on the moss in the dark place.

This poem creates a deep and bright symbolic realm, showing the author's sudden enlightenment during the deep meditation process. Although there is a Zen feeling in the poem, it does not resort to arguments and reasoning, but is fully immersed in the vivid description of natural scenery.

Wang Wei is a poet, painter and musician. This poem reflects the combination of poetry, painting and music. He uses a musician's perception of sound, a painter's grasp of light, and a poet's refinement of language to depict the unique silence and tranquility of the moment when people are talking in the empty valley and the slanting light shines back, which is thought-provoking.

According to the Northern Song Dynasty poet Qin Guan's self-narration in "The Book of Wangchuan Pictures", he was ill for a long time when he was an official in Runan, and saw a friend bring Wang Wei's "Wangchuan Collection" The scroll contains scenes such as deer and firewood, which makes one feel as if he is immersed in the scene. At the same time, he is reading Wang Wei's "Deer and Firewood" and other poems. The long-term illness was cured without treatment, which shows its extraordinary appeal of beauty.
