Abstract

Gary Snyder is one of the most outstanding contemporary American poets and an environmentalist who loves the wild world of California. Meanwhile, Snyder's long-term and profound spiritual correspondence with Chinese culture and poetry is also well-known in the literary circle at home and abroad. Many of Gary Snyder's poems show a strong Chinese taste, in which his landscape poems are deeply influenced by the spirit of nature in Chinese landscape poetry. This article is aimed at exploring the influence of the spirit of nature in Chinese landscape poetry on his landscape poems.
