Yes.
Du Fu said that Wang Wei was a "master".
I really can’t find out how Du Fu and Wang Wei met. According to the traditional preface of Chinese culture, Du Fu should call Wang Wei his senior, or at least his elder brother, because Du Fu’s younger brother Wang Wei 11 years old. For Wang Wei, a fifth-rank official who had everything in the officialdom, Du Fu was still a humble scholar who had not obtained any official position and was worried about food, clothing and accommodation. According to Wang Wei's behavior style, he would save a lot of money if he did not take the initiative to contact Du Fu. Trouble and annoyance may also affect the elegance of landscape poetry creation.
While appreciating the poet's eternally famous poem "Eight Poems on the Rise of Autumn", almost no one noticed that the poet also created twelve seven unique poems. The title of the poem is "Relief from Boredom". According to my repeated readings, The profoundness of the meaning of the chant, the darkness of the words, the implicitness of the intention, the tranquility of the mood, the precision of the rhyme, the mellow attitude of making friends, and the seriousness of inner reflection are all outstanding in the poet's own works; among the poets of all ages , outstanding. It's quite the master's skill in transporting weight, showing off his skill inadvertently.
The eighth poem is about Wang Wei, which attracts special attention. In just twenty-eight words, it expresses the poet's impression, opinion, praise and criticism of Wang Wei, and even his final conclusion.
What needs to be explained is that Wang Wei passed away in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty (761). In other words, six years later, Du Fu suddenly remembered this old friend - the painter - in Kuizhou. Poet Wang Wei. What needs to be explained is that the poet is not "feeling", not "crying", not mourning, not "mourning", but "relieving boredom" Wang Wei. For Du Fu's friendship, it is a very special case.
