王维 / Wang Wei

王维 / Wang Wei is the Tang poet used in EP264 踏访“唐诗之路”:盛唐气象少年心 to ground the [[ChangAnTang|唐代长安]] branch of [[TangPoetryRoad|唐诗之路]]. The episode treats him not only as a landscape poet, but also as a capital poet shaped by early arrival in Chang’an, court and princely-mansion social writing, official life, Buddhist public spaces, and later retreat to [[Wangchuan|辋川]].

The source’s reading of Wang Wei depends on both text and site. His name on a Tang stele in the Beilin, the Daming Palace court-poetry scene after the capital’s recovery, Chang’an temples, and the fragmentary Wangchuan landscape all help connect poetry to place without pretending that lost relics can be fully restored.
