Abstract
Zen poems have religious and literary characteristics, and poets of such poems integrate their Zen refl ections into their poetic compositions. Analysis of the Zen mind-nature shows that the Zen poems, full of Zen fl avors, meanings and interests, exerted great infl uences on the writing methods, contents and connotations of the Tang poems.
