The Tang Dynasty was the prosperous era of poetry, when everyone loved to read poetry and write poetry, so the atmosphere made Tang poetry glorious for thousands of years. It is said that the monks advocate that everything is empty, but in fact, in terms of writing poetry, the monks of the Tang Dynasty also made certain achievements.
There were many "poet monks" in the history of the Tang Dynasty. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
According to statistics, among the Tang Dynasty poets who can be counted so far, there are more than 360 Buddhist monk poets, accounting for about 10% of Tang poets. They wrote more than 4,500 poems, accounting for about 28% of the total number of Tang poems.
This group is really not to be underestimated. Of course, those monks who can occasionally recite a line or two of poetry are not called poetic monks, and the "poetic monks" here refer to those monks who are famous for writing poems.
Among them is the Spirit.
1. The eight monks of Lingche, Jiaoran, Qingsai, Wuwu, Xuzhong, Qiji, and Guanxiu have the highest and most well-known achievements.
Because of the monks' uncontested profession, most of the poems they wrote were relatively fresh and natural, or full of philosophical wisdom, and they all exuded a sense of calm and tranquility between the lines, which was very beneficial to read.
Today, let's enjoy the work of a poet monk Guan Xiu "Wild Couples", from which we can experience the artistic conception of Zen poetry.
"Wild Couples".
High light and clear is home, why do you need to take advantage of the smoke. has no intention of being self-satisfied, and intends to transfer credit to everyone. The wind touches the flowers and brocades, and the jade piano slopes across the water. But let this be so, who envy the future. As is customary, before reading poetry, let's first learn about the life of Kanxiu.
Guan Xiu, commonly known as Jiang, the word Deyin, Wuzhou Lanxi (Lanxi City, Zhejiang), became a monk when he was seven years old.
From an early age, he was brilliant and had a talent for reading, which made him famous for poetry at the age of fifteen or sixteen. When Guan Xiu was a little older, he traveled all over the world, and sang with many poets at that time, which made him leave a lot of classics and became the most famous poet monk in the late Tang Dynasty.
At that time, when Guan Xiu Yunyou came to Qian Di's territory, Qian Bi happened to be promoted to Zhenhai Zhendong and other military festivals, so Guan Xiu wrote a poem "Dedicated to Qian Shang's Father" to Qian Di.
Among them, the popular sentence "A house full of flowers is drunk with 3,000 guests, and a sword is frosty and cold in 14 states", which is both domineering and gentle, so that it has been passed down through the ages, making Guan Xiu's fame to a higher level.
But Qian Biao was still not satisfied with the "Fourteen States", and felt that his identity in Jiangnan was extremely incompatible, so he asked Guan Xiu to change it to "Forty States" before they were allowed to meet.
Guan Xiu was not accustomed to Qian Biao, saying that "it is difficult to add a state, and it is difficult to change poetry", so he brushed his sleeves away and continued to travel.
Guan Xiu spent most of his time wandering in the clouds, living an ascetic-like life, so his poems are mostly Yongwu, Yongjing, self-cultivation, and self-righteousness.
The above poem "Wild Residence Puppet Works" is a description of his daily life, expressing his personal thoughts and spiritual feelings, containing Zen principles, which is worth reading.
High light and clear is home, why do you need to take advantage of the smoke. "As long as the heart is high and clear, you can practice everywhere, not to occupy famous mountains and rivers.
The first sentence directly throws out his opinion, as long as there is a way in the heart, there is no need to do superficial work at all, go to those scenic spots to find immortals and ask, which can also see the author's desireless and desireless, pure heart and few desires.
If you don't have the intention to be complacent with the Tao, you have the intention to turn credit to everyone", cultivating the mind is the Tao, and a person's mentality can afford to let go of it, which is the Tao; If you deliberately try to befriend others, it will bring alienation.
Here he gives an example, using contrasting techniques to express the natural view of Taoism, telling us that we don't need to deliberately overcalculate our lives, we can't attain the Tao, just like making friends, if we try to make friends, we will become estranged.
The wind touches the flowers and brocades, and the jade piano slopes across the flowing water, and the wind blows the flowers in the wild like weaving, and the flowing water in front of the steps is like the sound of the piano. This is to describe the scenery around him, if you don't abandon utilitarian thinking, you can't let go of the complicated things in your heart, then you can't enjoy such a beautiful scenery.
Wenjin and Yuqin are actually precious and beautiful things, used here, as long as the heart is pure, then you will feel fulfilled, because life is full of beauty.
But let this be the case, who envy the future is not endless", I hope that I can always maintain such a state of life, then I will not envy and envy those endless fame and fortune.
In the end, he told the world that as long as you can keep your heart and ask for nothing, and improve your self-cultivation, then life will naturally be leisurely.
This is the Word. 
Guan Xiu's poem is to tell the world that if you want to live a good life, you must first start from your own heart. If the heart is too complicated, you will lose your happiness and live in anxiety.
Living in this world, the most important thing is to ask for nothing, be yourself, be full of heart, and even if you live in poverty, you will not envy others.
