First, pastoral poetry is quiet, simple and natural.
Talking about pastoral poetry is inseparable from Tao Yuanming. Speaking of Tao Yuanming, I will naturally think of his famous sentence "Picking chrysanthemums under the hedge and seeing Nanshan leisurely". Tao's pastoral poems give sincere praise to pastoral things and quiet environment, which are simple and natural and fully express the poet's true feelings. At the same time, the quiet and peaceful life in the countryside is as beautiful and charming as a fairyland.
Second, the natural artistic conception.
In poetry creation, it is very important to integrate emotion, scenery and reason, and emotion is the most important. Without emotion, there is no life. Without emotion, reason is "tasteless". However, Shi Tao can always express his feelings above the world through what everyone can see and ordinary things, write the truth that people may not realize, present a new artistic conception and give people a sense of beauty.
He is good at combining emotion with reason, visualizing his deep understanding of life and reality, and closely combining poetry with philosophy and scenery, giving people a fresh, natural and not boring feeling. It can be said that things happen from scenery, feelings and principles.
