First, exquisite and colorful style. The most impressive things in Xie Lingyun's poems are dense images, a large number of antithetical sentences and profound and elegant language, thus forming a rich and exquisite style as a whole. Xie Lingyun used to substitute flowers for trees, including what he saw in his poems, to present the scenery in a panoramic way, thus forming his rich characteristics.
Second, vivid and delicate scenery depiction. Although Xie Lingyun's poems have a sense of complexity as a whole, they often give people a vivid and delicate feeling when describing natural beauty. In the description of scenery, his poems mainly show the pursuit of melody. For the performance of colors, such as Li Lake's "Spring Festival Evening is full of green rocks and high clouds", the author did not draw all kinds of colors, but only used green fields as the background and white clouds as the embellishment, which grasped the characteristics of spring full of sunshine and vitality and formed a simple and soft picture. For the description of sound, such as "sleeping on Shimen rock" and "birds know the night habitat, and trees know the wind", there is stillness in the movement, and the night is quiet, and the sound of birds and leaves is particularly clear. This description of lust reflects a new trend of poetry creation and has a great influence on the creation of later poets. In this respect, Xie Lingyun can be said to be the pioneer of poetry creation in the new era.
Third, the stylized characteristics of the structure. As far as the overall structure is concerned, Xie Lingyun's poems tend to travel first, then write stories, and finally talk about metaphysics, dragging a metaphysical tail. This narrative-description-reasoning structural model makes Xie Shi present a stylized feature. As for the formation of this stylized structure, it can be said that it is related to the limitations of Xie Lingyun's aesthetic consciousness of mountains and rivers. Xie Lingyun will never forget his regime. When he was frustrated politically and then traveled around, he just used the scenery as a sensory stimulus to cover up his passion for power. Therefore, when he was writing landscape, he could not really achieve the perfect integration of emotion, scenery and reason, nor could he form a complete and seamless artistic conception.
