Who started the School of Landscape Poetry?

A school of poetry in the Southern Dynasties and the Song Dynasty in China. The master who started the school of landscape poetry was Xie Lingyun.

In fact, before this, in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, the gentry had already expressed their love for mountains and rivers and their visits to scenic spots. In their metaphysical poems, some famous sentences about scenery have begun to appear, praising the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River with the natural philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi. For example, Sun Chuo's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion and Xie Hun's You have a large number of landscape poems. In the early Song Dynasty, Xie Hun's nephew Xie Lingyun was frustrated in his official career, expressed his love for mountains and rivers, and intended to join in it. For example, Climbing the Pool Up the stairs and Entering the Lake Mouth of Peng Li, the description of landscape is finally separated from metaphysical poetry, thus establishing the dominant position of landscape poetry in the literary world. Since then, landscape poetry has become a kind of poetry genre that people often create. Until Wang Wei and Meng Haoran in the Tang Dynasty, the creation of landscape poems reached an unprecedented peak.
