「淡」並非是日常生活所認為的無味的「淡」，而是一種生命境界，尤其是在王維的山水詩中完完全全地呈現出來。王維的山水詩與他的山水畫一樣，都同樣以「淡」來作為評價標準。從司空圖到董其昌，使我們觀察到後人對王維的山水詩與山水畫的品評，都同時出現一個共同的特性，就是一個「淡」字。也就是說，王維的山水詩與山水畫都共同呈現的是一種「淡」的意境。因此，我們可以這樣說，「淡」是王維詩中對山水田園的讚美與歌頌，「淡」是王維運用水墨行吟在山水與山水之間，「淡」是王維在生活美學中寫意的真實寫造，「淡」是王維生命中所流露出的一種自然的生命情調，「淡」是王維的生命美學。讀者要能在面對王維山水詩歌的審美規律中能體悟出這種的「淡」的境界，就必須要把世間的一切繁忙拋棄，重新把審美的感覺找回來，讓心境從新回到自然山水裏，投入到王維的生命形態中，與他一起暢遊在大自然的懷抱裏。這樣，我們就會很容易體悟到王維山水詩歌意境中的「淡」。
