Inspiration from Mountains and Rivers
江河山岳的景致啟發、助益了文人的創作靈感和文學構思。“江山”指江河山岳，它與“廟堂”相對，多與隱逸相關。中國古代文人如果不能得志于廟堂，或者有意逃離庸俗瑣碎的功名利祿，則往往放曠于山水之間。山水是詩歌、文章的描寫對象，也是文人情感的寄托。山水詩在晉宋之時興起。山水成為獨立的審美對象，從山水中獲得的靈感與領悟，有助于豐富文學作品的審美樣態。“江山之助”所助的不僅是文學作品中對山水景物的描寫，更有助于文人精神世界的陶冶和提升，使其獲得更超越的視野和胸襟，在整體的文學體驗和文學表達方面可以達到更高的境界。
Mountains and rivers often inspire the literati in their literary conception. They use such landscapes in contrast to the imperial court. Thus, mountains and rivers symbolize a reclusive way of life. When ancient men of letters were unappreciated by the bureaucracy or when they wanted to escape from mundane duties and the crass pursuit of position and wealth, they might find their own meaning among mountains and rivers. They were not only the objects of poetic and prosaic description, but also where men of letters sought spiritual consolation. Mountain-and-river poetry first emerged between the Jin Dynasty and Song of the Southern Dynasties. Mountains and rivers became independent objects of artistic appreciation. Inspiration thus drawn adds to the aesthetic diversity of literary expression. The sight of mountains and rivers not only aids actual description of natural scenery in literary works, but also helps to chasten and elevate men of letters' spiritual world, expand their horizons and broaden their minds. Such aesthetic activities raise them to greater heights in literary experience and expression.
