【中文】诗佛王维的一生行迹
王维（701年-761年），字摩诘，号摩诘居士，祖籍山西祁县。唐代诗人、画家，被誉为"诗佛"，苏轼赞其"诗中有画，画中有诗"。
一、少年奇才（701-721）：状元及第
王维出身名门望族太原王氏，自幼聪慧过人，精通音律、书画。十五岁去京城应试便名动京师，二十一岁即高中进士第一名，一时风光无两。他的诗作《少年行》"新丰美酒斗十千，咸阳游侠多少年"尽显少年豪情。
二、仕途沉浮（721-744）：济世与归隐之间
王维初任太乐丞，因伶人舞黄狮子事件受牵连被贬为济州司仓参军。后得张九龄提拔，回京任右拾遗、监察御史等职。张九龄罢相后，王维对朝政失望，开始半官半隐的生活，在蓝田辋川购别墅，与好友裴迪泛舟唱和。
三、安史之乱（755-758）：屈辱与挣扎
安史之乱爆发后，王维来不及随朝廷西逃，被叛军俘虏。叛军逼他接受伪职，王维服药装哑，又吞药自毁容貌以求脱身，但最终仍被押送洛阳，被迫任伪官。他暗中写下"万户伤心生野烟，百官何日再朝天"的诗句，表达对唐室的忠心。
四、辋川别业（758-761）：诗佛归途
乱平后，王维因弟弟王缙平叛有功得以赦免，但仍心存愧疚。晚年的王维更加虔诚地信奉佛教，在辋川别墅中过着禅修的生活。他的山水田园诗达到炉火纯青的境界："空山不见人，但闻人语响。返景入深林，复照青苔上。"
五、辞世（761年）：遗世独立
上元二年（761年），王维病逝于辋川别墅，享年六十一岁。临终前，他写信与弟弟王缙诀别，又平素信佛，遣人将自己的别墅捐为佛寺。一代"诗佛"就此归去，留下无数传世名篇。
The Life Journey of Wang Wei, the Poet-Bodhisattva
Wang Wei (701-761), courtesy name Mojie, hailed from Qixian, Shanxi. A poet, painter, and musician of the Tang Dynasty, he is known as the "Poet-Bodhisattva." Su Shi praised him: "In his poetry there are paintings; in his paintings there is poetry."
I. A Prodigy (701-721)
Born into the prestigious Taiyuan Wang clan, Wang Wei was a child genius skilled in music, calligraphy, and painting. He made his mark in Chang'an at fifteen and placed first in the imperial examination at twenty-one. His poem "Song of Youth" — "Fine wine at ten thousand coins a cup in Xinfeng, so many young gallants in Xianyang" — brims with youthful bravado.
II. Between Service and Retreat (721-744)
After a promising start, Wang Wei was demoted due to a minor scandal. Later, championed by Chancellor Zhang Jiuling, he returned to the capital as a censor. When Zhang was dismissed, Wang Wei grew disillusioned with politics and adopted a semi-retired lifestyle, purchasing the Wangchuan Villa near the Blue Mountains and composing poetry with his friend Pei Di.
III. The An Lushan Rebellion (755-758)
When rebellion erupted, Wang Wei was captured by the rebel forces. He took poison to feign illness and mutilated his face to avoid serving the usurpers, but was eventually forced to accept a nominal post. He secretly composed verses declaring his loyalty: "Ten thousand households grieve amidst the wild smoke — when shall the officials face the imperial court again?"
IV. The Wangchuan Years (758-761)
After the rebellion, Wang Wei was pardoned thanks to his brother Wang Jin's military contributions. In his final years, he devoted himself increasingly to Buddhism, living as a monk-like recluse at Wangchuan. His nature poetry reached sublime perfection: "Empty mountains, no one is seen — only the sound of voices is heard. Evening sunlight enters the deep forest, shining again upon the green moss."
V. Departure (761)
In 761, Wang Wei died at Wangchuan at the age of sixty-one. On his deathbed, he bid farewell to his brother and donated his villa to become a Buddhist temple. The "Poet-Bodhisattva" departed this world, leaving behind a legacy of luminous verse and painting.
