"Inscribed on the Zen courtyard behind Poshan Temple"
Tang Dynasty: Chang Jian
Entering the ancient temple early in the morning, the first sun shines on the high forest.
The bamboo path leads to a secluded place, and the Zen room is deep with flowers and trees.
The light of the mountain is pleasing to the birds, and the shadow of the pond is empty of the human heart.
Everything is silent here, except for the sound of bells and chimes.
Translation:
I walked into this ancient temple early in the morning, and the rising sun reflected the woods on the mountain.
The bamboo forest shades the path leading to the deep depths, and the flowers and trees in front and behind the Zen room are luxuriant and colorful.
The bright mountain light makes the birds more happy, and the clear water in the pond also refreshes the mind and purifies the mind.
Everything is silent at this moment, leaving only the sound of bells and chimes.
Chang Jian (708-765?), a poet of the Tang Dynasty, whose name is unknown, is said to be from Xingtai or Chang'an (today's Xi'an, Shaanxi Province). In the 15th year of Kaiyuan, he was ranked as a Jinshi with Wang Changling, and he was a long-term official. Unhappily, he traveled to famous places and lived a wandering life for a long time. Later he moved to live in seclusion in Ezhu. In the Dali calendar, he served as Xuyiwei. Tianbao was appointed Xuyiwei in his middle age. Later he lived in seclusion in Xishan, Ezhu. He spent his whole life in despair, being arrogant and self-sufficient, and having no connections with the nobles. There is a literary exchange with Wang Changling. His poetic conception is clear and distinct, his language is refined and natural, and he has unique artistic attainments. There are 57 existing poems, with narrow themes, most of which describe pastoral scenery, mountains and forests. Famous works such as "Inscription on the Zen Garden Behind the Poshan Temple" and "The Tomb of General Diao Wang", especially the previous couplet "The winding path leads to a secluded place, the Zen room is deep with flowers and trees" have been widely recited from ancient to modern times. He also has some excellent frontier poems. There are three volumes of "Chang Jian's Collection of Poems" and two volumes of "Chang Jian's Collection". His poems take pastoral and landscape as the main themes, and their style is close to that of Wang and Mencius. He is good at using concise and concise brushwork to express a quiet and profound artistic conception. Such poems often reveal an "indifferent" attitude. In fact, he was not completely forgetful of reality. He had some emotions, expectations, and accusations. This is especially obvious in the frontier fortress poems that account for a considerable proportion. There is "Chang Jian Ji".
