The empty and boundless territory originated from that poem.

From Su Shi's Song Dynasty "Visiting a Famous Teacher". The original text is as follows:

Quietly, the group moved, but it was empty, so it accepted the thousand boundaries.

Virtual quietness can understand the changes of all things, while empty performance accepts the realm of all things.

Empty is an interesting word. Empty is a space, a time and space, a container. There seems to be nothing, but it can contain everything. Buddhists often say that the origin is empty, the vacuum is strange, and the emptiness has charm.

This poem takes the purpose of Han Yu's discussion on master Gao Xian's cursive script, but it is the opposite of poetry. Finally, it is put into practice that "poetry and law do not harm each other", which expresses Su Shi's understanding of the relationship between Zen and poetry.

Generally speaking, Zen does not need words. Poetry is the art of language, and there is a great difference between them. However, in artistic practice, poets and critics have found similarities between them.
