First, the reasons for the origin of the landscape school Many scholars attributed the reason to the war when studying the origin of the landscape school, which led the literati to retreat to the mountains and forests. It is precisely because of the emergence of seclusion culture that landscape poetry has emerged. In my opinion, the reason why literati live in seclusion is that they escape from society, and the fundamental reason for their escape is that they are incompatible with the rulers of the current dynasty, so they can only express their feelings in the mountains and rivers and vent their inner anguish through landscape poems. Therefore, the origin of the Shanshui School is because the official career is not smooth and they cannot realize their ideals and ambitions. In desperation, we can only express our inner resentment through landscape poems.
Second, the rise of landscape poetry The real development of landscape poetry is due to the emergence of Xie Lingyun. Because he was dissatisfied with the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty, he failed to persuade many times and could not realize his ambition. Plus, he likes to play with mountains and rivers, so he simply resigned and devoted himself to mountains and rivers. Xie Lingyun's landscape poems are also fresh and refined, leaving many well-known works. Later, the Tang Dynasty was the peak of the development of China's ancient poetry, so the landscape poetry at this time reached an unprecedented climax. Even the landscape school has become a prominent school, and many literati who are good at writing landscapes have emerged, such as Meng Haoran and Wang Wei.
Third, the historical significance of landscape poetry Landscape poetry is the most important breakthrough in the history of China's poetry, which enriches the theme of poetry. It also allows future generations to enjoy the beautiful scenery around the world through the poems of literati. Even if these landscapes no longer exist, we still have poems to record and a long history.
