The paper mainly focused on the Quanzhen daoist of Yuan dynasty Ji ZhiZhen's YunShanJi,aiming at analyzing its religious thought and artistic feature,and revealing the influence of the new transformation of Quanzhen Daoism's religious practice in Yuan dynasty on literary creation.The paper consists of there chapters besides the introduction.The introduction has pointed out that the literary creation of Quanzhen Daoism in Jin and Yuan dynasty has play a significant role as the primary document and teaching text in Chinese Daoist history and literature history.However,due to the subject classification and pure literature theory,scholars has payed little attention and spoke lowly of these documents.What's worse,few study has been conducted upon Ji Zhizhen.Through YunShanJi,we can not only get close to this Quanzhen master of fourth generation 's religious thought,present his motions in the periods of entering,cultivating and promoting daoism,and also reveal the new transformation of Quanzhen Daoism's religious practice and literary creation in Yuan dynasty.Chapter 1 "Ji Zhizhen's Religious Practice and Religious Writing" has introduced his lifetime,thoughts and works.As we all know,Ji Zhizhen joined the Quanzhen Daoism when Yuan has conquered Jin.He cultivated himself and promoted his belief when QuanZhen Daoism has gained solid support from governors in Yuan court.As a metaphysics lecturer,he not only carried forward the traditional temperate cultivation theory,but also bore great historical responsibility to strengthen the founder belief and denomination awareness in order to build its theory and myth.The only remaining works of Ji Zhizhen is YunShanJi.This chapter has emphasized Ji ZhiZhen's religious practice and his contribution on classic interpretation and literary creation.Chapter 2 "Analysis of YunShanJi's Poetry in Subject Classification" has divided Ji ZhiZhen's poetry into four types:logical poems,lyric poems,scenic poems,and social poems.Logical poems are based on "the body is unreliable,while the true nature is eternal" theory,and aimed at unfolding people's true nature,pointing out their slip and absurdity,and urging them to cultivate themselves.Lyric poems has expressed the disturbance of social relationship,the reflection of whether language and poetry diminish cultivation,and the affection of an unoccupied and idle life.Scenic poems has viewed the whole world in daoist perspective.Every scenery and every subject is connected to dao and is demonstrated celestially in the poems.Social poems has reflected Ji ZhiZhen's social connection with Quanzhen masters and his sincere feeling to his religious companions.The poetry has presented Ji ZhiZhen's motions in cultivating and promoting,and shown his religious feelings and religious thoughts which focus on temperament cultivation.Chapter 3 "The Allusion and Image of YunShanji's Poetry" has analyzed the allusion and image features in YunShan Ji's Poetry from the perspective of classic interpretation and mountain household cultivation.As a metaphysics lecturer,he has read and interpreted many Daoist classics thoroughly and detailedly,so his most allusion originate from these classics.His choice and application of allusion is characterized with Quanzhen thoughts.Ji Zhizhen has experienced a long period of mountain household cultivation which impressed his poems with widespread mountain images.These images mean a kind of division to the secular world,a sort of calm,idle,free ideal lifestyle,and some metaphor of his cultivation experience.From the study of YunShanJi,we can find that as the primary document of Daoist development history in Yuan dynasty,it has refleced the new transformation of Daoist practice—emphasizing the reading and interpretation of classics in the background of promoting and building Daoism figure under the support of Yuan dynasty;further more,perfecting the religious theory and building historical figure though classic reading and interpretation.Meanwhile,we can also find that Ji Zhizhen's religious works have reflected his cultivation and promotion experience,and the religious practice has deeply influenced his works' allusion and image in return,which contributed to his literary character.
