Shen Zengzhi and Buddhism(Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444)Abstract： 〖WTBZ]Centering on Shen Zengzhi who was a representative poet of the Zhejiang school with the TongGuang style in the periods of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, this essay makes a research for the relationship between his academics, literature, sources and Buddhism. Just like China' s classic poetry, Buddhism and Confucianism also face the pressure of modernization. He advocates Buddhism because he wants to blend the conflict of the Eastern and Western cultures through Buddhism, which, actually, after the 1911 revolution, lagged behind the times due to the traditional Confucian idea of loyalty to sovereign. In the aspect of understanding Buddhist doctrines, he upholds the unity of Confucianism and Buddhism, and treats equally different sects of Buddhism, which lays a foundation for Master Taixu' s discrimination and criticism later. And in the textual research, he has a wide view, not only caring about the Chinese Buddhism, but also being interested in the Indian Buddhism, especially the history of Zen, for the study of which he is far earlier than Hu Shi. And in the aspect of literature, he uses a lot of Buddhist allusions in the creation of poetry, inheriting and developing the artistic style of the Zhejiangschool poets such as Zhu Yizun and Qian Zai who have a fancy for rare words and allusions. For him, Buddhism isn' t only a kind of spiritual sustenance that can settle down his disturbed soul but also a means for literary creation.
