The Sinicization of Buddhism has also had a significant impact on Chinese rap literature, novels and poetry. Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhist scriptures have been promoted in three forms: reading, chanting, and singing. This is the origin of Chinese rap literature. Chinese poetry is also closely related to Sinicized Buddhism. Yuan Haowen of the Jin Dynasty said: "Poetry is the icing on the cake for Zen monks, and Zen is the poet's jade knife." The poet was influenced by Zen, used Zen to help poetry, used Zen to enter poetry, and used Zen to metaphor poetry, which greatly deepened the art of poetry. Creation and aesthetics. Among them, Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty was the most outstanding in his use of landscapes to express the Zen state, and was known as the "Buddha of Poetry". Su Shi praised him as "painting in poetry".
The Sinicization of Buddhism has also had an important impact on Chinese literary theory. This is mainly the theory of actual quantity, the theory of realm, the theory of wonderful enlightenment and the theory of Shen Yun. The so-called theory of real quantity is a literary criticism theory put forward by Wang Fuzhi in the Qing Dynasty using the discussion of real quantity and comparison in Xin Yin Ming. "Yin Ming", "Yin" is the reason, and "Ming" is the knowledge. Wang said: "Presence has the present meaning and the true meaning of appearing. The present is not dependent on the past. It is a shadow and ready-made. It is felt at the first touch. It shows the truth without thinking or calculating. This is the nature of its nature and appears. Undoubtedly, it is not false." He also used the poems "Sunset Garden on the Long River" and "Ask the Woodcutter across the Water" as examples to illustrate that poetry should be understood at the scene. The so-called realm theory, that is, the artistic conception theory, refers to the artistic realm where sexual situations blend. "Realm" is also a Buddhist term, such as "Understanding the realm is like an illusion, like a dream", "I abandon my inner mind to realize wisdom, and forget about the realm." Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty proposed that poetry has physical realm, situation, and mood, while Wang Guowei of the Qing Dynasty further proposed the realm theory. Wang believes that "realm is not just scenery, happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy are also the realm in people's hearts. Therefore, those who can depict real scenery and true emotions are said to have realm. Otherwise, they are said to have no realm." The so-called theory of Miao Wu and Shen Yun, the former originated from Yan Yu's "Canglang Poetry Talk", while the latter was proposed by Wang Shizhen in the Qing Dynasty. Among them, the theory of Miaowu has the deepest origins with Buddhist thought. Hu Yinglin of the Ming Dynasty said: "Zen means that after the first enlightenment, all dharmas are empty, and the rods, shouts, and anger are nothing more than the truth; poetry means that after the first enlightenment, all phenomena come together, moaning and coughing, touching the innocence.
