This captivating book delves into the extraordinary life and mesmerizing poems of the renowned Chinese Tang poet Han-shan, also known by his pen name "Cold Mountain." It explores the widespread dissemination and reception of the Cold Mountain Poems (CMPs) attributed to him, making him one of the most legendary literary figures in the history of global scholarly exchange. Han-shan's reclusive existence in the Cold Mountains, the intricate poetic realms encompassing Confucianism, Buddhism, Zen, and Taoism woven into the CMPs, and the remarkable global reach and canonical construction of its text have solidified its place as a cornerstone of Chinese language, literature, culture, and society.
The purpose of this book is to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the CMPs within a global context. By examining the vertical studies of the Chinese literature polysystem, it emphasizes the horizontal influence of the CMPs, both literarily and non-literarily. Furthermore, it addresses the genesis and development of the Han-shan phenomenon, its implications for translation studies, travel writing, canon construction, and literary historiography.
This book is a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and students in the fields of literary history and East Asian Studies, particularly those with an interest in Chinese literature and culture. It offers insightful perspectives and valuable insights into the world of Han-shan and his enduring legacy.
