practiced Buddhism became a popular trend.This style is not dominated by the religious superstition of praying for gods and worshiping Buddha,but mainly manifested in the acceptance of the spiritual value,spiritual realm,and taste of life by talented women.This article conducts research on this phenomenon,exploring the connection and influence between Buddhism and the talented women group.When researching,we first need to investigate the social atmosphere and the background of the times that formed this phenomenon in the late Ming Dynasty.The late Ming Dynasty was in a special stage of social change,with active ideology,political decline,and urban economic prosperity.The unique social environment provided a material and ideological basis for the development of talented women,and many talented women came into being.At the same time,Buddhism flourished in the society of the late Ming Dynasty,and a huge Buddhist trend prevailed among the scholar groups.This trend started from the scholar group and gradually radiated to the talented women group,and finally,under the influence of the scholars,the talented women in the late Ming Dynasty The trend of Buddhism was formed.In the analysis of the phenomenon,this article sorted out nearly 90 talented women who had a clear tendency to believe in Buddhism in the late Ming Dynasty,and conducted a multi-angle investigation on their behavior,reasons,and characteristics.In the late Ming Dynasty,new changes took place in the good Zen behaviors of the talented female,who began to break through the practicality of religion,and turned to highly ideological,literary,and artistic behaviors such as composing Zen poems and participating in Buddhist principles.In terms of reasons,the talented female catered to the social atmosphere of the time,such as the preferences of scholars,the notion of being a talented woman as a scholar,and family education,which drove the talented woman to approach the Buddhism.Belief in Buddha has become a common phenomenon.In terms of characteristics,the Buddhism trend for talented women in the late Ming Dynasty has its particularity compared with ordinary women and scholars in the late Ming Dynasty.Talented women are different from ordinary women because of their knowledge,cultural literacy and living environment,so they can have better Buddhist accomplishment and pursue the super-utilitarian ideologys and behaviors of Buddhism.On the other hand,the female status of talented women makes their life and cultural space inferior to scholars,which makes them difficult to compare with scholars in the level of Buddhist accomplishment.Ideology inquiry is an important issue in the study of the Buddhism trend of talented women and their literature in the late Ming Dynasty.The Buddhism ideology of the talented woman has a profound impact on her world outlook and outlook on life,and it is also the main reason that distinguishes the talented woman from other women.The investigation shows that the talented women in the late Ming Dynasty mainly practiced Zen and Pure Land Buddhism,and their ideologys have a great manifestation of the Zen concept of "the heart is a Buddha" and the pure land "rebirth to the West".From the inside of Buddhism,the sect of the talented woman is vague,and there is a tendency to merge with multiple sects;from the outside,the Buddhist ideology of the talented woman is not pure,and it is mixed with Confucianism and Taoism,and it is integrated with the three religions of the late Ming Dynasty.In line with the trend of ideology.It can be seen that the religious significance of Buddhism in the talented women group has weakened,and talented women are more inclined to selectively accept the ideologys and cultural concepts of Buddhism instead of paying attention to practicing it as a strict religion.Buddhism ideology have had a greater impact on the shaping of the spiritual world of talented women,and the value judgment and life taste of talented women have a strong Buddhist color.From the perspective of spiritual value,in the inner world,talented women form a way of liberating themselves from pursuing spiritual freedom;in real life,Buddhism also gives talented women the concept and path to realize the value of life in addition to the traditional value judgment.Starting from the taste of life,influenced by Buddhism,talented women tend to have elegant aesthetic taste in terms of personal dress and the requirements of the surrounding environment,hoping to show their inner piety and elegance through external cleanness and quietness.The Buddhism trend of talented women in the late Ming Dynasty also had relevance to her literature.Buddhism became an important element in the poetry creation of talented Buddhist women.Through the investigation of talented women’s Buddhist poems,it is found that the talented women’s literary works intensively embody the three core ideas of "life is suffering","world is empty" and "returning to the truth",integrating the talented women’s unique experience of the world and life.Embodies the mental process of self-compassion,self-comfort and self-cultivation of talented women Under the guidance of these three core ideas,the talented young Buddha has formed her own unique literary aesthetic characteristics and creative purposes,which are embodied in the aesthetic characteristics of elegance and quietness,natural and buddhism,as well as the creative purpose of entrusting emotion and feeling the religious experience.On the whole,the influences of Buddhism has allowed talented women’s literary creation to express the elegant style.The Buddhist trend of talented women in the late Ming Dynasty and their literary research are valuable.It involves topics such as the gender in the field of Buddhism,the trajectory of elite women’s beliefs,Buddhism and women’s literature,the relationship between women and Buddhism literature.It has a certain enlightening effect on the research of Ming Dynasty literature history,cultural history and ideological history. |
