Peace of Mind is the Place to Go: a Study on Spatial Writing in Bai Juyi's Poetry
by Zhao Jianmei
About This Novel
Bai Juyi was a poet who consciously positioned his life and existence with specific philosophical thoughts. He was an iconic figure in the division between the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the middle and late Tang Dynasty. He was also a representative poet in the transformation of Tang culture to Song culture. The spatial writing characteristics of his poems are an important manifestation of this iconic status. Spiritual settlement is what Bai Juyi has been doing all his life, and his spiritual settlement is completed in the form of spatial construction. In different encounters, poets project their personal values and souls into different spaces. Through space construction and poetic writing, they make space the basis for settling their souls. Their spatial construction always refers to the settlement of their souls. This book takes the spiritual settlement as the entry point, explores the interaction and integration between space and the poet's self-life experience from multiple dimensions, grasps the poet's approach and art of settling the soul in "all-in-one" and "unique kindness", and attempts to give an in-depth explanation of this from the Buddhist and Taoist philosophical levels.
