It starts by mapping out the historical evolution of Chan and the  development of its various sub-schools, and proceeds to cross-examine the mutual influence of  poets and Chan, and of Chan monks and poetry, and in so doing, traces the poeticizing process of  traditional Buddhist ji (verses) in China. In the main chapters, the book probes into the influence  of Chan on a variety of styles and characteristics of Chinese poets and poetic schools from across  a long historical period, ranging from Tang dynasty to Qing dynasty. It also seeks to reveal, theoretically, the inner mechanism of how poetry and Chan are integrated into certain  philosophical and aesthetic wholeness. This book makes an attempt to shed light on  the evolving patterns for Chinese ancient poetics along with transformation.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYukai Zhou\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor from Sichuan University has done significant contribution to the study of poetics of Tang and Song dynasties and hermeneutics of Chinese pre-modern literature.
