On the Melodious Poems by Wang Wei

Poetry, in some way, is as melodious as music. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, they were well blended with each other. Wang Wei, an outstanding poet in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, was also an expert in temperament. He composed many beautiful poems in terms of rhyme, rhythm and intonation, and created many musical images as well. In his poems, he put a variety of sounds together into a symphony. In addition, he was also good at composing picturesque poems. That is, the poems can conjure up pictures in the readers' minds (the organic bending of sounds and scene). Wang Wei was also well known for creating a wonderland of motion and quietude.
