　　江山之助

　　江河山岳的景致启发、助益了文人的创作灵感和文学构思。山水是诗歌、文章的描写对象，也是文人情感的寄托。“江山之助”所助的不仅是文学作品中对山水景物的描写，更有助于文人精神世界的陶冶和提升，使其获得更超越的视野和胸襟，在整体的文学体验和文学表达方面可以达到更高的境界。

　　Inspiration from Mountains and Rivers

　　Mountains and rivers often inspire the literati in their literary conception. They were not only the objects of poetic and prosaic description, but also where men of letters sought spiritual consolation. 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.

　　引例

　　若乃山林皋壤，实文思之奥府。略语则阙，详说则繁。然屈平所以能洞监《风》《骚》之情者，抑亦江山之助乎？（刘勰《文心雕龙·物色》）（至于山林原野，确实是启发文思灵感的宝库。叙写简略就会缺漏，描述详细又显烦琐。然而屈原能够深切体察《国风》和骚赋的情韵，大概也是得到了山川景物的帮助吧？）

　　As for forested mountains and the vast countryside, they are indeed a fertile source of literary inspiration. Brevity can result in too many omissions, whereas thoroughness may seem trivial. However, Qu Yuan was able to appreciate the charm of "Ballads from the States" and works in the Sao Style (Flowery Style), most probably because he was aided by the sight of mountains and rivers.(Liu Xie:The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons)
