Xie Tiao also often describes the scenery seen from the porch window or desk. Most of the scenery he writes is related to the buildings in Du Yi. The landscape in the poem has picturesque and far-reaching elements, which are quite far and near.
For example, the winter night in the county is pushed from the pool in front of the door and the bamboo forest outside the window to the distant mountains and plains outside the window. Words such as "Shang", "Ji" and "Zhong" are used to express the orientation relationship between scenes, and verbs such as "Dai", such as "Yan Yuan Tian" and "Qingchuan Yuan Tian", highlight that Yan and Qingchuan seem to be painted in ink.
Its achievements:
The main achievement of Xie Tiao's poetry is the creation of landscape poems. Xie Tiao described the landscape of southern Anhui with Xuancheng as the center with his beautiful and delicate poems, and made new exploration and development on the landscape poems since Xie Lingyun, which had a good influence on later Tang poems.
Xie Tiao and Xie Lingyun, both known as "two thanks", are both good at modeling mountains and rivers, and are good at landscape poems, but their poetic environment and interest are different. Xie Lingyun's landscape poems are somewhat influenced by metaphysical poems, always with a touch of Hyunri and some metaphysical colors; Xie Tiao's landscape poems express thoughts and feelings, and the influence of metaphysical poems has been completely eliminated.
Xie Tiao's landscape poems naturally combine the description of scenery with the expression of feelings. Floating in the political whirlpool, he witnessed the sinister career and the darkness of reality. Therefore, he often expresses his fear of official career and his depression of life through the description of scenery.
