詩通大美當悟之— 兼論星雲大師詩學的文學史意義=Realization of “Poetry Leads to Profound Beauty”: On the Historical Literary Significance of Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s Poetics
Classical Chinese poetry is not often a tool to express personal emotions but is mostly associated with self-cultivation, family management, and realizing the great Tao. Therefore, in the contemporary study of classical poetry, in addition to its lyrical methods, we should comprehend the profound intrinsic beauty and Tao. The way of realizing profound beauty can be divided into three levels: reading and reciting, understanding the teachings as well as meanings, and practice as per the teachings. Integrating these three levels is the optimal way to study classical Chinese poetry. In his discussions on poetry, Venerable Master Hsing Yun reflects on the interpretation of the profound Tao and its expression in poetry composition. This traditional poetic spirit is applied in Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s poetics, demonstrating its unique significance and value in literary history.
