Achievements and shortcomings of Xie Lingyun's poems

Xie Lingyun was born in a famous family and was brilliant, but his career was bumpy. In order to get rid of his political troubles, Xie Lingyun often makes waves and creates miracles. Most of Xie Lingyun's poems describe the natural scenery and places of interest in Yongjia, Huiji and Peng Li. Among them, there are many natural and fresh sayings, such as "Spring grass grows in the pond and willow turns into songbirds" ("going upstairs in the pond"); Write autumn colors: "The wild sand shore is clean, the sky is high and the autumn moon is bright" ("First visit to the county"); Write the winter scenery "the bright moon shines on the snow, and the north wind is strong and sad" ("Year of the Year") and so on. Depicting natural scenery from different angles gives people beautiful enjoyment.

Although there are many famous sentences in Xie Lingyun's poems, most of them are metaphysical words of mountains and rivers, and there are still the ends of metaphysical poems. Nevertheless, Xie Lingyun's creation greatly enriched and developed the realm of poetry, making the description of landscape independent from metaphysical poetry, thus reversing the style of metaphysical poetry since the Eastern Jin Dynasty and establishing the status of landscape poetry. Since then, landscape poetry has become a genre in the history of China's poetry development.

Regarding his talent, Xie Lingyun once said a very wild word: "There is only one stone (that is, ten fights) in the world, and Zi Jian (that is, Cao Zhi) monopolizes eight fights. I take one fight and the world only divides one fight."

Xie Lingyun is a famous landscape poet in the history of China literature. He is good at describing the experience of sightseeing and natural scenery in rich and delicate language, and has many wonderful sentences with vivid images and beautiful artistic conception, which have certain influence on the development of poetry in Tang Dynasty.
