Abstract
On the basis of his spirit-resonance, Wang Yuyang’s Collection of Samadhi Poetry by Bhadras of the Tang constructs a high Tang poems’ system. His considering Wang Wei’s poems as the first templet and Meng Haoran’s poems as the second one offers a special theoretical view and an elucidatory circle for the comparative study of Wang and Meng’s poems , which enables us a very important parameter for theory of spirit-resonance poems. This article shows that the lyric dramatis personae in Meng’s poems are more lovable than the ones in Wang’s poems and Meng’s poetic scene is more rustic than Wang’s, but Meng’s Buddhist poems are stuffy. The creditability and feasibility of the reconciliation between poems and Buddhism is limited, so the theory of spirit-resonance and poem-evaluation standard in Collection of Samadhi Poetry by Bhadras of the Tangcan’t be considered as the only criterion to evaluate high Tang’s poems.
