This article is a comparative study of Chinese landscape pastoral poetry and British landscape pastoral poetry, focusing on their cultural connotations. Many Chinese and British poets take the theme of pastoral landscape as their creative content. By describing the natural scenery of the field, the life and work of the farmers and etc., the poems eulogize the simplicity and purity of rural world, the happiness and unsophisticated life of farmers and also certain emotion of the poets. This kind of poetry is very prevalent among readers. However, due to the heterogeneity of Chinese and British culture, the landscape pastoral poetry created by Chinese and British poets has the same theme and description objects, but there are also marked differences in their content, artistic expression, writing techniques and the creation form that attracted lots of scholars to study. However, there have been few such studies in the differences about Chinese and British landscape pastoral poetry. To this extent, hopefully, this article may be scholastically significant in studying on the difference of their cultural connotations.
