Abstract

The number of Rinzai-Zen Songgu poems in the Song Dynasty is very large, which aslo shows remarkable sectarian characteristics. On the one hand, Rinzai-Zen Masters are good at using metaphors, and most of their ancestor metaphors, self-nature metaphors and illustration metaphors in the Songgu poetry are special metaphors belonging to Rinzai-Zen. On the other hand, the methods that regarding depreciation as praise, being uninhibited and violent style features and the use of predecessors' overbearing verses are all direct presentation of the inarguable and lively spiritual appearance of Rinzai-Zen.
