Abstract

The study of the landscape is an important element in the study of literary geography. Regional differences lead to landscape differences, which become literary spaces under the writers’ pens each with its characteristics. In the study of literary geography, through the study of ancient and modern writers and works, literary proliferation, literary reception, regional geographical differences, and the dimension of the spatial landscape have all played an important research value, forming the highlight of the study of the discipline of literary geography. Among them, the dimension of the spatial landscape has become a hot spot. Therefore, regarding the enrichment of landscape types and the interrelationship between landscape and space, it will have a very great impact on the disciplinary construction of literary geography, and enrich the new progress of literary geography in terms of disciplinary foundation and value orientation. Writers’ landscape descriptions make the image of the world clearer and more vivid. As far as the ecological perspective is concerned, the process of human conquest of nature also has to conform to the counteracting force of nature, and the dual opposition between man and nature has become the mainstream concept of literary writing. It is under the guidance of this concept that issues such as ecological crisis and nature’s revenge have also entered the research scope of literary geography. The role of the spatial landscape is to create a renewed world and the protection of nature by man in literary works and the restoration and reconstruction of ecological balance. The repetition of themes such as the return and reconstruction of the harmony between man and nature is also a new trend in the development of the discipline of literary geography and a new rationale for the next step of research.
