Many poets of this school were frustrated in their official careers and deeply influenced by Buddhism and Taoism, seeking seclusion. Therefore, their poems mostly describe the natural scenery of rural landscapes, and their poetic style is fresh and beautiful, often showing a quiet and tranquil realm.

Brief introduction of Meng Haoran's life and his poetic achievements
1, Introduction of Meng Haoran
Meng Haoran (689-740), whose real name is Haoran, was born in Xiangyang, Xiangzhou (now Xiangyang, Hubei), a famous pastoral poet in the Tang Dynasty, and was known as "Meng Xiangyang" in the world. Because he has never been an official, he is also called Monsanto.
Meng Haoran was born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He was eager to use the world in his early years. After experiencing the hardships and pains of his official career, he was able to respect himself, not flatter the vulgar world, practice for life and live in seclusion.
Meng's poems are mostly five-character short stories, mostly pastoral poems and secluded poems, and most of them are in the mood of serving immortals. There is no cynicism, it belongs to the poet's self-projection. His poems have unique artistic attainments. Later generations called Meng Haoran and Wang Wei, another landscape poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, "Wang Meng". Meng Haoran's collected works handed down from generation to generation have three volumes.
2. Meng Haoran's poetic achievements.
Meng Haoran was the first person of the pastoral poetry school in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the forerunner of "Xiang Xing" creation.
Meng Haoran's poems got rid of the narrow realm of chanting things in Lu and Tang Dynasties, expressed more personal hugs, brought fresh breath to Kaiyuan poetry circle and won the admiration of people at that time. Meng Haoran was the first poet who wrote landscape poems in the Tang Dynasty and the forerunner of Wang Wei.
His travel poems are vivid, while Meng's poems are not carved, but thinking, full of wonderful and complacent interests, not frugal and barren. He is good at exploring the beauty of nature and life, and writing his true feelings immediately. The natural artistic conception is clear and the rhyme is overflowing.
Here in Meng Haoran, the images in landscape poems are no longer descriptions of original landscapes, nor are they simply added with their own emotions. Instead, it uses expression techniques to combine the description of landscape images with the display of one's own thoughts and feelings.
Therefore, the description of images in his landscape poems has reached an unprecedented height, and the images in his landscape poems have been promoted to the advanced form of artistic images, that is, "images." Before Meng Haoran, no poet's landscape poems could touch the author's personality so deeply.
