The artistic achievements of Liu Zongyuan's prose are comprehensively and carefully analyzed from ten aspects: his prose view, essays, biographies, fables, travel notes of mountains and rivers, artistic features of Ci and Fu, artistic style of Liu Wen, structural art, fable art and comparison of Liu Han's prose.

4. Liu Zongyuan's landscape literature is not "a manifestation of his pursuit of a leisurely life", but "a more painful and true reflection". "In essence, this is just that Liu Zongyuan chose a scenery that his political opponents could not spy on, as the object of his concentrated creation, to forcibly transfer his anger, sadness and depression.

Moreover, this kind of emotion cannot be completely hidden. In addition to his silly flow, he can often encounter words like taking mountain and river experience as his own. "
