Abstract

This article analyses the relationship between poetry and nature through Chinese landscape poetry. The study focuses on three Chinese poets from three different periods of Chinese history: Tao Yuanming, Wang Wei and Feng Zhi. Through the poet Tao Yuanming, the influence of Taoism on landscape poetry, the influence of Buddhism on Wang Wei's poetry and the influence of both Taoism and Buddhism and modern European thought on Feng Zhi's poetry are analysed. In short, this article aims to highlight respect for nature in Chinese poetry, both in classical and modern poetry.
