Xie Siwei 
a Zen and Chinese Literature 

Focusing on the theme of Zen and literature, this book takes Wang Wei, Du Fu, Han Yu, Bai Juyi, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian as typical examples, and combines ancient literary theory and criticism works such as poems and quotations of previous dynasties, to analyze the wide penetration of Zen thought in secular life and literary creation and its profound influence on literary development since Tang and Song dynasties. The author widely uses phenomenology, existentialism philosophy, classical literature, Zen and other theories to reveal the inner meaning and connection of the two as human spiritual phenomena at a deeper level. It is very helpful to understand the history of Zen and literature.
