Title: The Poetic Significance of Huang Tingjian's Buddhist Happiness Poems
Abstract: Huang Tingjian was fond of Zen,which guaranteed his good personality and morality. The fame of his work Jie Shi Ming spreads throughout the world. In his work he advocated the benevolent policy of contented people living in a country at peace,without the satisfaction of the government officials ,the righteous attitudes of a scholar standing aloof the struggles between political groups. The Buddhist happiness of his poems reflected his admiration of Jing Gong and his respect of Dong Po. The images of tea drinkers ,who practiced the methods of Buddhist meditation and believed in the Buddhist happiness,attracted many contemporaries and gradually formed the atmosphere of Poets' Society ,which was the precondition of the production of poetry. His poetic propositions were clear and affirmative:creating new things out of the old ,appropriate methods in writing,touching the metal and turning it into gold ,skillful training. His ideas opened the door for the beginners and provided them with correct approaches,having a profound influence in the history of poetry. Observing from the perspective of history,once the vibrant poems were turned into rules ,they would be confined by the rules ,forming new constraints and limitations. This point was reflected by the lesson and instruction of Jiangxi poetry school.
