Buddhism has a rich history and a long cultural connotation since ancient times. Since Buddhism was introduced into China, it has blended with local culture in a series of shocks for two thousand years and gradually penetrated into our lives. If we want to explore the depth of the influence of Buddhism on us, the most direct thing is to get a glimpse of it in some literary works. Starting with the influence of Buddhism on the realm of poetry, this paper discusses the significance of Buddhist thought to the construction of poetic artistic conception.
? First of all, let's start with the word "poetic realm". The realm of poetry is the artistic realm created by a poem. Quoting Wang Changling's words, poetry has "three realms"-situation, material state and artistic conception. One is the simple description of the environment expressed in poetry, and the other is the poet's thoughts and feelings implicitly conveyed through the object media. Therefore, from the perspective of why the poet chose this image and what kind of emotion he used to create poetry, the realm of poetry can be linked with Buddhism.
? (A) Buddha and landscape
? During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced. At this time, it was the prosperous period of Confucianism, and Buddhism was not particularly popular among the people. However, in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhist temples were built all over the Central Plains, and Buddhists showed a spurt growth. The reason is that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, dynasties changed frequently and the lower classes were displaced. A large number of Buddhist classic theories have given people spiritual sustenance, just like the teachings of "Six Degrees", "Karma, Six Divisions in the Wheel of Karma" advocated by Buddhism, which are the "jackfruit" in Volume 12 of Mahayana Righteousness. It includes giving, abstinence, tolerance, diligence, Zen and wisdom. People on the way to escape need to endure hunger and may complain about their unfortunate experiences, but Buddhism compares this to an experience, and only after it can they succeed. Inadvertently gave believers a kind of spiritual comfort, especially the six divisions in the wheel of karma, who suffered in this life and were blessed in the next life, all became the beliefs of new believers.
Speaking of literature, metaphysics flourished in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and metaphysics advocated nothingness. Among them, "metaphysics" comes from the "mysterious gate" in Laozi, which emphasizes a metaphysical and indescribable truth, saying that everything originated from nothingness and came from nothing, while Buddhism advocates "emptiness", which can be understood as nothingness, just like these two ideas coincide, so on the road of Buddhism spread, monks continue to absorb, develop and develop.
? In the last article, the article has mentioned the reasons for the rise of Buddhism, but I think that only when Buddhism has a large number of believers can it be combined with metaphysics in its dissemination and development, and finally even achieve the transcendence of "nothing" and have an impact on the creation of literati.
