Dongting Bo sent a monk to write the following poem:
The dangerous building is a hundred feet away from Linjiang Zhu, and many tourists can't go back.
Who will be on the boat today? A monk will be sent by Dongting Wave.
This poem was compiled in Tongzhi for 12 years in the Collection of Eight Fingers Toutuo's Poems. After the poem, it is noted that "Tongzhi Xin didn't get a sentence, but he didn't learn poetry at that time", which belongs to Jing 'an's early works, but his boldness of vision has been revealed and his head has been exposed.
Jing Ansheng lived in turbulent times, and no matter how profound his accomplishments in Buddhism were, they were reflected in his poems and never divorced from his times. Mr. Mei Ji's feelings about Jing 'an's entry into the WTO in the preface to the collection of poems of Eight Fingers Toutuo are mainly as follows: First, singing the voice of patriotism. He wrote in the poem "Giving Wu Yuchuan the Taishou" that "it's too cool to be a strong neighbor, and it will smear my life."
second, there was criticism of the state affairs at that time. "The clothes are saved for a while, and several people are saved." "The jade tower in the sky spreads a letter to the night, and the gold coins on earth make peace. When you are sad, you cry for endless tears, and the night rain in Jiangnan should not sleep. "
third, describe the magnificence of mountains and rivers. "Red leaves are flying all over the mountain, and it is suspected that it is the shadow of autumn soul." "The waterfall flies with thousands of snow, and Hong Zhongxiao moves Wanshan frost." Then there is the concern for the people. Jing' an is not because he is in an empty door, but everything is empty. His pain to the people is always in his heart, and his concern for the current situation has never been forgotten during a meal.
"Although I have not forgotten things when studying Buddhism" and "I have no intention of suffering people's diseases", in view of Jing 'an's strong spirit of joining the WTO, when reading and evaluating his poems, we can't just interpret them from the perspective of him as a generation of Buddhist monks.
