Abstract:

The rise of landscape poems during the period bet ween Jin and Song dynasties was importantly attributed to those quite utilitarian techniques of lo ngevity advocated by the religious Taoist sect of the Celestial Masters, whose weird "practices" led people to natural mountains and waters. Such a religious faith produced great influence upon those powerful families and scholar-officials' wa y of life in the coastal southeast region of China.

Key words: religious Taoist sect of the Celestial Masters, techniques of longevity, landscape poem, Xie Lingyun
