When mankind entered the 21st century, the serious global ecological environment problem and the masses' steadily growing awareness of ecology and the Environmental Campaign, indicate that we are experiencing an unprecedented revolution. Under these circumstances, a series of new cross-disciplinary subjects that integrated ecology and social sciences and humanities have emerged. Ecoaesthetic has become a hot topic of aesthetic and artistic circles. Ecological theories and methods are used in aesthetics study. Combining aesthetical and ecological as well as academic research and social practice organically will become a new aesthetic experiment.As the originator of landscape poetry, Xie Lingyun played an important role in the history of Chinese literature. Breaking the limitation of the literature analysis, choosing aesthetics as the major research methods, borrowing theories from ecology, cultural studies, ecological ethics, social psychology, human geography and other subjects, on the basis of the text, this paper re-interprets Xie Lingyun in the view of ecoaesthetic. Through this, Xie Lingyun and his literary works will be re-valued and understood.This paper includes four major components: The first part or introduction part is the basic theory of the ecoaesthetic. In this part, the background, situation and some important concepts are explained. The second part, sum up the life and works of Xie Lingyun. Part III forms the main body of this thesis and interprets Xie Lingyun in the view of ecoaesthetic. This part has two elements: one is the analysis of Xie's practice of ecological beauty, such as landscapes tour, the creation of natural scenic spots, and the other is study of his works which reflect the coexist condition, the freedom and consistency of the lives of the landscape and human beings. The interactive relation between ecological environment and literature will provide some inspirations for the literature studies under contemporary environment and problem of human survival plight. Part IV, as a conclusion, demonstrates theoretical and practical value of the significance of the re-positioning of Xie Lingyun and study of ecoaesthetic.
