Literary achievements
The achievements of Xie Lingyun's landscape poems depend largely on the efforts of "carving". The "carving" of Xie Lingyun's landscape poems is a meticulous imitation of nature. Xie Lingyun added his own subjective color in the process of mimicry, which made the landscape present a unique appearance that originated from reality but was different from reality.
The skill of "carving" in Xie Lingyun's landscape poems is not only reflected in the detailed description of subtle scenery, but also in the structural organization of various intentions. The two are often combined to express the different and changeable postures of landscapes. At the same time, Xie Lingyun's landscape poems show a "natural" side. "Nature" in Xie's poems has double meanings.
On the one hand, Xie Lingyun's landscape poems truly present a natural style, which is inseparable from the poet's "carving" power. On the other hand, Xie Lingyun also has some sentences that seem to be blurted out, which are true and natural, such as "Spring grass grows in the pond and willow becomes a songbird".
