Abstract:

There are many literary families in the Wei-Jin and Southern-Northern Dynasties, of which the Xie Clan of Chen Commandery has the greatest literary achievements and influence, especially in terms of their originality in poetry that other prominent families cannot catch up. To some extent, the theory of artistic conception in Chinese literature is formed through landscape poems, which were almost all composed by the Xie Clan. The representative of Chinese landscape poems was Xie Lingyun, a member of the Xie Clan, which was followed by Xie Tiao who inherited and developed landscape poems. During the Wei-Jin and Southern-Northern Dynasties, literary criticism standard was at the turning point from “strength of character” to “artistic conception”. When accomplishing the creation of landscape poems, the Xie Clan played a key role in the formation of the theory of artistic conception

Key words: the literature of the Xie Clan of Chen Commandery, strength of character, artistic conception, landscape poems, Xie Lingyun, Xie Tiao
