After staying for less than two years, he ran back to Chang'an.
Then he played well with Li Bai, Du Fu, Gao Shi and others.
Then, he began to miss the life in the frontier again.
He ran to the Northwest again, and followed the famous general Feng Changqing at that time.
During this period of time, Cen Shen's writing and thinking flowed like a spring, and he wrote "Traveling on the Horse River to Send Doctor Feng to the Western Expedition".
Don't you see the horses and rivers walking on the snowy seaside, the flat sandy desert and the yellow sky...
He wrote "Bai Xuege sends Judge Wu back to Beijing".
The north wind blows the ground and the white grass turns, and Hu Tian snows in August.
Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of pear trees bloom...
His brain hole, his imagination, fly unscrupulously in the vastness of the frontier.
One after another well-known poems flew out.
Then, the Anshi Rebellion broke out.
He was demoted again and again, and finally died in Sichuan.
……
Meng Haoran is a representative figure of landscape pastoral poetry.
The word Haoran in his name is taken from Mencius's "I am good at nurturing my awe-inspiring spirit".
Because his father believed that their family was the descendant of Mencius.
His father naturally hoped that his son would become a dragon.
Meng Haoran, who was sixteen and seventeen, was indeed very good, and he soon made his mark in the local exams.
But one day.
He came to Lumen Mountain.
Seeing the mountains, rivers, flowers and birds here, the whole person is immersed in nature.
So, he lived in seclusion here.
During this period, he wrote many poems and formed his own fresh and natural style.
He wrote:
Chunmian doesn't know dawn, and I hear birds everywhere.
The night comes wind and rain, Whispering Colour.
Sometimes, he also goes out.
So he wrote:
Moving boats and mooring Yanzhu, visitors are sad at sunset.
In the wild, the sky is low and the trees are low, Jiang Qingyue is close to people.
But Meng Haoran actually wanted to be an official.
Therefore, he would occasionally write letters to recommend himself to the big shots.
He wrote "Looking at Dongting Lake as a Gift to Prime Minister Zhang" to Zhang Jiuling.
He also took the imperial examination, but failed.
When Meng Haoran was in his 40s, the senior official Han Chaozong liked Meng Haoran very much, and he hit it off with Meng Haoran at first sight, chatted happily over wine, and poured out his heart.
When Meng Haoran told Han Chaozong about his ups and downs for most of his life, he immediately got sympathy and resonance from Han Chaozong.
Han Chaozong decided to find an opportunity to recommend Meng Haoran to the court.
And Meng Haoran was very happy, and agreed to go to Beijing to meet with Han Chaozong again.
But on that day, Meng Haoran was actually drinking and talking poetry with his friends, and he didn't know if he had drunk too much, so he said, "I've already drank, let alone pity him!"
So, the opportunity flew away.
Frustrated by the unfavorable times, he chose to travel.
So Li Bai saw him off.
The old man said the Yellow Crane Tower and fireworks went to Yangzhou in March.
Lonely sails far and wide, and only the Yangtze River flows.
Then he went home.
The leisurely and comfortable farm life is out of date.
He wrote "Passing the Old Man's Village".
Tree edge of the village together, Aoyama Guo oblique.
The general idea of the poem is to eat and drink with friends in the village, so happy!
Li Bai came to him.
Wang Changling also came to him.
Then, he drank with Wang Changling.
Just died.
was 52 years old.

Among the landscape poets, there is also Wang Wei who is very Buddhist.
Wang Wei was born in a prominent family, the Wang family of Taiyuan.
He could write poetry at the age of 9, and went to Chang'an City for the exam at the age of 15.
On the Double Ninth Festival when he was 17, he wrote a poem about homesickness.
