Eco-criticism also called " studies of literature and environment " ,It is started in the 1970s as a western criticism faction, the wilderness philosophy is a new theory with the academic trend of ecological criticism. The eco-criticism and the wilderness philosophy both concern about the relationship between literature and environment, that is the relationship between humanity and nature, and is the fundamental issues of literature and art.Landscape poetry is a very prominent schools in the history of Chinese literature. If nature is the Chinese cultural spirit and the Chinese cultural soil, then landscape poems reflect the close relations that is mutual dependencies, the same flavor and sense, the same blood between man and nature ,The reason that I do the cross-border research between the wilderness philosophy and the landscape poetry is: although they are different both in time and space, but their spirit and the logic is consistent. in the introduction, the eco-criticism, wilderness philosophy and landscape poems were aggregated introduced and analysised, necessity and possibility that in the study of ancient Chinese landscape poetry by eco-criticism were explained, and this conclusion that there are a natural attribute and a wilderness spirit of human within the landscape poetry is drawed.There is the philosophic thinking about wilderness in the body of the dissertation, based in it, the wilderness spirit of the ancient Chinese landscape poetry is deeply demonstrated. the wilderness is not just a space, and a natural object, it is a symbol of spirit and a areas of aesthetics like the "nature" concept in Chinese cultural history . Even it is more natural than the "natural", because it is original, pure, the real natural. Such an aesthetic spirit of the landscape poem lies in: the imago world of uncultivated mountain and wild water, the aesthetic ideal of the wilderness taste , the emotion and the return theme pointing to the wilderness.In the epilogue of the dissertation, established in the post-modern reflection of human culture, that wilderness highlights, Eastern surfaced, poetry regeneration are the spiritual results of the reflect are indicated. If philosophy is homesickness, the questioning of the significance and their homes-looking for, then, Poetry provide us with the place where the meaning is in it and the road to return home.Paul J. Crutzen who is a Nobel Prize in chemistry laureate has indicate: Since human activities had a significant impact on the natural environment, a new era named the human era of the history of earth, On the human era, the impact of human activities on earth is unprecedented complex and deep, the Earth's geological period that the human large-scale changes in Earth has begun. In such a new geological period, to reflect merits and demerits, gains and losses of the history of human development, to explore the Chinese traditional ecological and cultural resources,to build a new pattern that academic exchanges between the East and the West, re-adjust the relationship between man and nature, as well as the relationship between literature , art and nature, to improve the spiritual ecology of the modern social, and to promote the harmonious development of modern society, are the contemporary mission of literature and art, the responsibility that writer and artists can not shirk , the reality that our literary theory researchers should face.Thus, the revitalization of nature in literature and art, the establishment of the ecological view to literature and art ---will become the only save. The ecological criticism of the landscape poetry tells us: in the mountains and rivers, on the wilderness, we can find the habitat of the human spirit, and the eternal home of mankind. The landscape poetry guards the people's poetry and the spirit of wilderness that is unchanged through the ages.
