Features: Wang Wei and Meng Haoran are representatives of the Tang Dynasty's landscape and pastoral poetry school. Among the ancients, some praised Wang while suppressing Meng, while others did the opposite. Some even said that Wang and Meng were equally renowned, making it difficult to determine who was superior. This book does not repeat these debates, but instead analyzes the multifaceted nature of Wang Wei, who was deeply influenced by Buddhist philosophy, and the skillful use of subtle embellishment by Meng Haoran, presenting these insights to the readers.
