Xia County (now Taikang County, Henan Province) was a minister, Buddhist scholar and traveler from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to Liu Song Dynasty. He was the originator and son of landscape poetry school, a doctor, his mother Liu and the granddaughter of Wang Xizhi. So what are the characteristics of Xie Lingyun's literature?

Xie Lingyun 1, the achievements of Xie Lingyun's landscape poems depend largely on the "carving" effort. 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".

2. "Carving" and "nature" are often mixed together in Xie Lingyun's landscape poems, which are the dual features of Xie Lingyun's poems: from the perspective of poetry development, Xie's poems are "natural", which is reflected in the words used to describe the scenery, on the other hand, the scenery they describe is also realistic, which is different from Dr. Han's grandiose ornamentation and metaphysical poems. And "The Carving" mainly focuses on Xie Lingyun's detailed description of specific scenery.

3. Xie Lingyun attaches great importance to emotion, which is vividly expressed in his landscape poems. On the whole, it has gone through the process of emphasizing "reason" and "everything is standard, like the" morality theory "in the metaphysical era. Xie Lingyun's landscape poems are far from the spirit of Jian 'an literature, and return to the tradition of expressing feelings and aspirations with his own creative achievements. In most of his landscape poems, the poet's lyrical style is also reflected. The emotions in his poems are mainly manifested in the following aspects: ① As an ideal frustrated person, Xie Lingyun poured out his grief and indignation in his poems. As a landscape tourist, Xie Lingyun showed his love for nature in his poems. As a lonely traveler, Xie Lingyun expressed his yearning for his friends in his poems. As a thinker seeking Tao, Xie Lingyun expressed his joy after realizing Tao in his poems.

4. Xie Lingyun's landscape poems created a new realm of China's landscape literature. On the basis of his experience in writing landscapes in previous literary works, he creatively applied various artistic expressions to landscape poems. In his landscape poems, landscape poems are full of novelty and even strangeness, deep or shallow landscapes, presenting readers with poetic "nature" like the real scene but beyond the real scene. At the same time, because Xie Lingyun's landscape poems aim at "expressing ambition", natural landscape is the carrier of his expression of emotions, which always contains the author's subjective feelings. Thus, the unique natural and humanistic charm of Xie Lingyun's landscape poems is formed.

The above is about the characteristics of Xie Lingyun's literature.
