Abstract: Wang Shunan is an important figure in the modern “Hebei School” poet group.His poetry learning started from Huang Tingjian,and chased from Su Shi to Han Yu and Du Fu upwards,which had many in common with the poetry theory of Tongcheng poets school and Min poets school.After going through the changes of the late Qing Dynasty,his inscribed poems blended with the scribes homeland feelings and generosity,and freely transformed the painters mind,the poets life,and the scribes life ideals in the real and fantastic world of poetry and painting,showing a new realm of the development of descriptive poems since the late Qing Dynasty.The figure-painting poems outlined the self-image in the image and the life mood of the Confucian.The contradictory mentality of landscape painting poems and landscape travels is deeply intertwined,showing the late Qing Dynasty Republican literatis confusion and helplessness of statecraft ideal and the pursuit of personal liberation in official process.His inscribed poems gave birth to the consciousness of “history of painting” in the spirit of “history of poetry”,pursued innocent,natural,elegant and indifferent artistic style with a strong scribe taste,embodied the rare feelings of homeland and life taste of the scribe who had a deep taste of the decent way on the occasion of change.

Key words: “Hebei School”, Wang Shunan, inscribed poems, consciousness of painting history
