Wang Wei told the girl about his idea of ??staying overnight. After hearing this, the girl smiled slightly and said: "My father said that if the guests come to make a couplet, if they match, they can stay overnight. If you don’t match, you won’t be accepted.”

Wang Wei immediately became interested and immediately agreed, urging the girl to hurry up and give the question. The girl chanted: An empty and lonely house, a lonely place to live in a guesthouse? When Wang Wei heard this, he realized that the characters in this couplet were all about treasure hijab. He couldn't figure it out for a while and felt a little embarrassed.

He was thinking hard there. When the girl saw that he was silent, she said, "How can a scholar come to Beijing to take the exam if he can't even match a couplet?" Then he went in and closed the door.

Wang Wei was helpless and had no choice but to continue on his way in the dark. What should I do if I don’t know the road in the dark and are in the wilderness? Wang Wei was very anxious. In his desperation, he actually thought of the second line, so he hurried back to knock on the door.

But these Liyuan disciples were so sad when they saw their country destroyed and their family destroyed, that they had no intention of performing.

One of them, Lei Haiqing, threw his instrument heavily on the ground and cried loudly facing the west. An Lushan was furious and ordered his men to cut Lei Haiqing into pieces. After Wang Wei learned about this, he was very sad and fell in love with the scene, so he wrote a poem "Poem of Ningbi".

Wang Wei later failed to escape the coercion of the rebels and was forced to serve as a pseudo-official. But this poem has been widely circulated among the people, and even reached Suzong.

After the Tang army exterminated the rebels, the court severely punished the literati who had served as puppet officials during the rebellion, but Wang Wei was forgiven by the emperor because of his "Ningbi Poetry". ?

One time, when he was suffering from a minor illness, he went out to buy medicine and saw a beautiful and elegant girl sitting behind the counter of a drug store. He was amazed and wanted to try her talent.

So he stepped forward and asked: "Girl, I forgot to bring the prescription today. I hope the girl can give me some advice." The girl replied: "Can you remember the name of the medicine?" Wang Wei asked: "Where can I go after buying a banquet?" ?" The girl was startled, but then she smiled and said, "After the wine and the banquet, Angelica." Then she twisted her body and went to the medicine cabinet to get the medicine. Wang Wei then asked: "The second thing is to buy me so that I won't get lost in the dark night." The girl answered without turning her head: "The reason why I don't get lost at night is because of the 'cooked land'." Wang Wei continued to ask: "The third thing to buy is the Peony Girl in the Sun." The girl replied: "Peony. Huamei's peony is red.

There is no stone inkstone in the study. There is a beautiful girl beside the golden boy. There is no trouble in the sunny day." "

The girl carefully considered her words and sentences, and it turned out to be "love at first sight". Her cheeks turned red and she quickly asked the bookboy: "Who is that young master? The boy replied: "It's the famous poet Wang Wei!" "

The girl had just developed a liking for the medicine scholar. When she heard that it was Wang Wei, she felt even more happy, so she also replied with a poem and asked the scholar to take it back. After receiving the reply, Wang Wei hurriedly opened it and read: "A poem. On the first day of the month, they met happily, and the two of them became friends and went to consult the monk. I saw an ancient temple deep in the bamboo forest, but I just opened my mouth and there was no trace of anyone. ”
