During the Ming-Qing transition, Hui Shan Jie Xian earned the xiucai bureaucratic title after which became a Chan master, dwelling in famous temples in Kuanglu, Yun Ju and Ling Yin Mountains. Inheriting the Dharma lineage of Jude Hongli, a prestigious monk of the Sanfeng School, Hui Shan was well-known for his vicious style of teaching Chan. The comparison between war and Chan shown in his The Book of Chan Exercise, has already attracted the attention of many researchers. In addition to intense Chan exercise, the monks of the Sanfeng School were remarkable for their exquisite literary works, including Hui Shan. Unfortunately, most of his writing was scattered and lost. Due to the large number of Buddhist documents from the Ming-Qing dynasty being recently published, Hui Shan’s only anthology of poetry and prose has been preserved in Japan, which allows us a glimpse into his high productivity. His poetry and prose, which were highly praised by his fellow men Wu Meicun, Lu Futing and Xu Zeng, reveal that he travelled around famous mountains and Buddhist temples, visited Buddhist heritage sites and wrote about beautiful landscapes during the period of living in seclusion in Kuanglu. This paper attempts to shed light on Hui Shan’s poetry of mountain-dwelling to reveal the uniqueness of his works. Taking as a starting point the conceptual structure of visual metaphor, it proposes three analytical approaches - gazing up and looking down, seeking the ancients and observing the rituals, and the Buddha's eye and the Chan insights - to discuss the metaphor used in Hui Shan’s works. His aspirations to leave secular life, to inherit the Dharma lineage of Jude Hongli and to excel in Chan practices all expressed in his poetry on mountain-dwelling can be observed from this perspective. Through this analysis, the paper argues that Hui Shan was not only a survivor and a Chan master, but was also an exceptional poet monk, who had deep passion for life. |
