Where did Xie Lingyun's poetic style come from in the Northern and Southern Dynasties? What works are there?
As an ancient traveler in China, Xie Lingyun naturally likes some mountains, rivers and natural scenery. The source and inspiration of his landscape poems also came from these mountains and rivers, and Xie Lingyun, who likes traveling, promoted the rapid rise and development of landscape poems. As the saying goes, the meaning of drunkenness is not in wine, but in mountains and rivers. From this perspective, landscape is definitely the best creative theme for literati. As a traveler, Xie Lingyun naturally won't miss such a theme. Xie Lingyu was brilliant since he was a child, so he was often favored and cultivated by his grandfather Xie Xuan. It is because of the influence of orthodox culture that he was inspired to create landscape poems.
Since Xie Lingyun's grandfather was a North Korean official, Xie Lingyun inherited his grandfather's title at the age of 18 and was made a public official. He also lived a rich and comfortable life because of the well-off family background of his ancestors, which led him to have a leisurely tour and see many wonders of mountains and rivers, which also made his landscape poems novel, solid and flashy, refined but not demon, and promoted the fresh and refined atmosphere of landscape poems. Xie Lingyun's landscape poems also had a decisive influence on the Song and Liu Dynasties. As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher.
