Abstract

Hanshan, a Tang zen monk of China, has been admired as a spiritual idol by the Beat Generation of America. Hanshan’s views of nature, society, and especially of self, as reflected in Hanshan’s poems, echo with views of the Beat Generation. The Hanshan spirit that permits Hanshan’s poems is in accordance with the world perspective of rebellious youth of modern America after the Second World War. Hanshan and his poems are therefore warmly received in America.
