First of all, in terms of relationship, the two are indeed relatives. Xie Lingyun is the grandson of Xie Xuan, a famous Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Xie Tiao is the descendant of Xie An's brother. By blood, Xie Lingyun is Xie Tiao's uncle. Xie Lingyun was one of the founders of landscape poetry, which had a great influence on later generations. Xie Tiao inherited and developed Xie Lingyun's style, and created a new style on this basis, which made great contributions to landscape poetry, so he was called "big thanks" by later generations.
Judging from their poetic styles, both of them are good at writing landscape poems, their language styles are fresh and refined, and they can portray the scenery incisively and vividly with superb language skills, so their styles are somewhat similar, but after all, they are not alone and have certain differences in style. For Xie Lingyun, the attitude of landscape is very important in his poems. He tried his best to describe the details of the scenery and spared no effort to describe it. Because of this strong description, in Xie Lingyun's poems, the content and I are separated. First, the scenery he describes is that the author observes them through them.
Xie Tiao is different. His landscape poems pay more attention to the blending of scenes. He described his feelings through the description of the scenery, and at the same time got rid of the influence of Hyunri in Wei and Jin Dynasties, lacking many obscure places, which made him more fresh, lively and simple.
Throughout the history of China's poetry, Xie Lingyun is an indispensable figure. He played a very important role in the development of China's landscape poems. His landscape poems integrate natural beauty into poetry, making landscape an important theme of poetry.
China's poetry has always been based on freehand brushwork, and rarely describes poetry with things as the theme. Before that, Tao Yuanming was a famous pastoral poet and an outstanding freehand brushwork poet. For Tao Yuanming, writing poetry is just an expression of life, so there are not so many words describing mountains and rivers in his poems, mainly based on the blending of scenes. In the hands of Xie Lingyun, landscape poetry began to take shape formally. The beauty of Sheung Shui has become the theme of poetry, and realism has become the center of the whole poem. Xie Lingyun spared no effort to the beautiful scenery, sketching out every detail and every beautiful beauty in the landscape and presenting it to the readers again.
Xie Lingyun's landscape poems were fresh and elegant, which caused a great sensation at that time. Only then did I know that poetry writing could be like this. This new feature of gradually disappearing melody and wide range began to become the trend of poetry creation at that time, which influenced the poetic style of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and even had a certain impact on the later prosperous Tang Dynasty. At the same time, because Xie Lingyun's poems pay more attention to the description of scenery and are independent of the poet's emotions, they can't reach the realm of blending scenes like some poems. At the same time, they also have their own styles and characteristics in structure. Generally speaking, people write about their travels first, then what they see and hear, and finally express their feelings, forming a unique pattern, which is naturally suspected of procrastination, so Xie Lingyun's poems have also been criticized.
Generally speaking, Xie Lingyun made a great contribution to the creation and prosperity of landscape poetry, making landscape poetry an independent form of poetry after the Southern Dynasties, which had a far-reaching impact on later generations.
Speaking of the relationship between Xie Daowen and Xie Lingyun, we have to start with Xie Daowen and his brother Xie Xuan. Xie Daowen, a famous poetess in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was a famous poet. At that time, Xie and Wang were two families with infinite scenery. Xie Daowen was born in Gu Jie. Xie Daowen not only has a distinguished family background, but also has both talents and looks. However, in her later years, she was not happy. Her husband Wang Ningzhi and several children died in the rebellion in Sun En, leaving her alone in Huiji.
She has a brother named Xie Xuan, who is also a man with great military talent. The two brothers and sisters were brilliant since childhood and won the love of their uncle Xie An. A knowledgeable man and a military genius, Xie Jia's fame depends not only on wealth and prestige, but also on the strength of Xie Jia.
It can be said that Xie Jia has produced generations of talents. As we all know, Xie Lingyun is the originator of the school of landscape poetry. He was about the same age as Tao Yuanming, and he was the first person to create landscape poems. The artistic conception of his poems is fresh and gorgeous, which shows the natural landscape image in his poems. In order to get rid of political oppression, he traveled all over the mountains and rivers and poured all his troubles into them. Therefore, his poems often give people beautiful enjoyment. Even later poems by Li Bai, Du Fu and others often borrowed Xie Lingyun's creation, which shows how influential Xie Lingyun's poems are.
It is said that all the children in Xie Daowen died in the rebellion in Sun En, but the children in Xie Xuan did not suffer so much. Xie Huan, the son of Xie Xuan, is the father of Xie Lingyun, the founder of the famous landscape poetry school. Xie Jia and Wang Xizhi are close relatives. Xie Daowen not only married Wang Xizhi's son, but also Xie Huan's wife was Wang Xizhi's granddaughter. So according to this relationship, Xie Daowen is Xie Lingyun's aunt.
