On the Form and Connotation of the"Mountain"Imagery in Qiu Chuji's Poetry——Taking"Panxi Collection"as an Example
The reverence for life is a central tenet of Taoist philosophy,which emphasizes the nurturing of one's own life,whether through external alchemy or internal cultivation.During the Jin and Yuan dynasties,Quanzhen Taoism,while examining life cultivation,also paid attention to external practices.As one of the"Seven Genuine Ones of the North"in Quanzhen Taoism,Qiu Chuji organically integrated the Taoist reverence for life into his poetry and used imagery to emotionally express Taoist thoughts.In Qiu Chuji's"Panxi Collection",the imagery of"mountain"differs from that of other religious leaders(Wang Chongyang,Ma Yu,and Yin Zhiping)who used imagery to persuade people with a utilitarian purpose.The depiction of mountains in Qiu Chuji's work not only possesses unique characteristics at various stages of life but also embodies a distinctive humanistic concern:the connotation includes Taoist ideas of achieving immortality and compassionate sentiments opposing violence,encapsulating literary grace and poetic essence.
