On "Emptiness" in Poetry

There are many empty poems in poetry. In my reading reserve, there are many poets in the Tang Dynasty, especially Wang Wei. It's like "there seems to be no one on the empty mountain, but I think I heard a voice." Another example is "an empty mountain stands in the autumn night after the rain". Cui Hao's "In the past, the yellow crane carried saints to heaven, and now only the yellow crane tower is left." Cen Can's "Then he disappeared at the corner of the pass, leaving only his hoofprint." Liu Yuxi's ode to flute playing in the local accent; I went to my hometown like a rotten ke. Empty words mean nothing, very close to no words. Buddhism likes to talk about emptiness, while Taoism likes to talk about nothingness.

In Buddhism, emptiness is relative to' being'. Transliterated as Shunruo. Free translation is empty, empty, empty, empty, clean, nothing. In all things that exist, there is no self, entity, me, etc. And this idea is called emptiness. In other words, things are illusory, or the body is empty. This thought has existed since the Buddha's time, especially in Mahayana Buddhism, and emptiness is the fundamental thought of Prajna sutra system. From Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was gradually localized in China, which had a far-reaching influence on the thoughts of China literati. It was not until the sixth generation that Huineng Buddhism was truly localized and introduced into daily life, which still affects us today. "Wukong" in The Journey to the West and the empty Taoist in A Dream of Red Mansions all reflect the influence of Buddhism.

? The relationship between Wang Wei and Buddhism and Zen is extraordinary. His name is Wei and the word is Mo. Together, it is "Vimalakīrti", which borrows the name of a great Buddhist in the initial stage of Buddhism. In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism entered its heyday in China, and Zen became mature and prosperous, so Wang Wei, who was well versed in Zen magic and had outstanding poetic talent, appeared. He is called "Shi Fo" and enjoys a high honor.

? Chai Lu's "empty mountain" presents a profound meaning of tranquility and seclusion. In the silence, you can hear the sound, but you can't see the sound. From it, we can read that the silence of this time and space is "empty". But I can feel some vitality in the empty space, maybe it's an illusory sound, maybe it's a short beam of light projected on the dark moss through the Woods. There is sound and light in the empty world, but sound and light are the biggest changes. Uncontrollable changes, immediate changes. Feel the truth and illusion of the world at the moment when sound and light arrive there, thus triggering the experience of life and a deeper understanding of life. Maybe it was an epiphany. These seem to be unspeakable and unspeakable life experiences.

There are many similar poems that talk about Zen. China's traditional thoughts of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are profound, but I am incompetent and talk about Zen. And these excellent ideas and cultures are worth our constant thinking and pondering.
