Abstract: The Pearl Buck's Nobel Prize wining work The Good Earth is a scroll of painting which describes the rural life of old China. Behind such rural life, the work highlights the Chinese peasants' desire, belief and custom. From Benedict's theory of “culture pattern”, there hides an oriental land culture pattern behind this work. Either the perspective or method of Pearl Buck's land culture pattern is of profound significance for the contemporary construction of literary and art theories. A Study of research methods of literary and art theories from a perspective of literary anthropology is a new path of expanding both denotation and connotation of Chinese literary and art theories.
