Make analysis on the relations between literature and geography environment function system, it presents a reasonable prospect in the development of "Environmental Literature" resulted on the combination of literature and geography. It points out that Shannxi literature shows an unique regional characters in geography. From the natural geography perspective and the human geography perspective, Shannxi contemporary literature is investigated in the essay to explore the dimensional differentiation system in literature so as to set up the corresponding theory in literature geography. As far as literature dimensional differentiation is concerned, the differentiation in literature development and literature styles are of great significance. Shannxi literature develops in an unbalanced way. In the regions where they enjoy geographical, economical, cultural and transportation convenience as well as more cultural communications, the literature development in these areas is comparatively higher. In a direct way, under the influence of natural sight, whether it being monotonous or complex, the style in writing will be modesty or gorgeous accordingly. In an indirect way, litterateurs are more affected by the unique regional economical types, living conditions, residents' customs and their folkway, which in return influence their writing styles. This is how the various styles and features are come into being. To be specific, the most developed literature lies in the central area of Shannxi, which claims messiness and modesty in its literature style. The south and north Shannxi are less developed in literature; however some developed areas are till exist. The north Shannxi claims rugged and unconstrained in its literature style. The south Shannxi claims elegance and clearness in its literature style. This dimensional differentiation makes sharp regional difference in literature.
