The scenery of Xie Lingyun's landscape poems
First of all, the Wei and Jin Dynasties were the times when metaphysics flourished, and the creation of landscape poems was also carried out in the way of metaphysics. Landscape is a prop used by poets to appreciate the interest of metaphysics, and Xie Lingyun himself has good attainments in the field of Buddhism in Laozi and Zhuangzi, so the word Buddhism and Taoism often appears in his poems. Therefore, it can be said that Xie Lingyun's landscape poems did not jump out of the shackles of the times in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and were still deeply branded with metaphysics. But it is worthy of recognition that there are few abrupt metaphysical words in his landscape poems. Basically, Hyunri is well integrated with the scenery, so it is not vague at all.
From the artistic features, Xie Lingyun is beautiful, and the simple scene presents a beautiful artistic conception through his description. Some of these artistic conceptions are exquisite and refined, some are profound and beautiful, and so on, which makes readers immersive. Later generations often mentioned when praising his landscape poems: "If clear water produces hibiscus, it is naturally lovely." It can be seen that the most important artistic feature of Xie Lingyun's landscape poems is fresh and natural, without flowery words and artificial sentences. After careful tasting, they appear more pure and natural.
Looking at many of Xie Lingyun's landscape poems, although due to the limitations of the times at that time, some of them may appear to be neglected in tailoring and inadequate in preparation, paying too much attention to the blending of Hyunri, and some of them are obscure, but their flaws are not concealed. Many of Xie Lingyun's landscape poems still occupy a place in the history of China's poetry with their beautiful and refined style.
The Relationship between Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao
The birth of landscape poems has made important contributions to the development of China's poems, providing new themes and new poetic styles. Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao are two important figures in the development of landscape poetry. Here I will briefly introduce their relationship with their poetic style.
Famous poet Xie Lingyun
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 is one of the founders of landscape poetry, which has 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 and small 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.
Brief introduction of Xie Lingyun's landscape poems
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.
Portrait of Xie Lingyun
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 writing poetry can still be like this. This new feature of "melody fading away" began to become the trend of writing poetry at that time, which influenced the poetic style of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and even had a certain impact on the 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.
Appreciation of Xie Lingyun at the end of the year
Xie Lingyun has created a large number of works in his life, including many classics, among which "Over the Years" is an outstanding poem. In this five-character poem, Xie Lingyun skillfully combines his feelings, external scenery and profound metaphysics, perfectly reproducing the state of mind and sad environment at that time.
Xie Lingyun's calligraphy at the end of the year
Xie Lingyun's life is more difficult. Although he was born well, it was in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it was not long before he was replaced by Liu Song. As a hero of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie Lingyun naturally became the target of Liu Song's attack. According to time, this poem should come from his later life. At that time, it was not only suspected by the court, but also tolerated him, and political affairs were chaotic.
The first two sentences of the whole poem come straight to the point and express feelings. Xie Lingyun skillfully used the phrase "I can't sleep, if there are hidden worries" in the Book of Songs to lament that I can't sleep at night and feel sad. This kind of worry is not only a simple worry that you are about to get old and your life will be destroyed, but also complicated feelings in the past, unattainable demands and personnel changes.
Three or four sentences were seen by the author when he was insomnia. The bright moon shone on the snow, and the wind roared violently, just like a sad cry. This scene is just similar to the author's mood at that time, so it shows the author's inner sadness and anxiety. The last five or six sentences express the author's sad feelings about the impermanence of the world and the passage of time through the spare strength of "snow" and "north wind" This kind of life is fleeting and the years are changing.
