China Sea,where the ancient Buddha lived.Whether Baohua Mountain really had any Venerable Consciousness who lived here in the past is now untestable,but the achievements and status of its "Vinaya No.1 Mountain" and " Vinaya Ancestral Court" are indeed a highlight in the history of Chinese Buddhism.This dissertation takes "Baohua Mountain Buddhism and Literature" as the topic of discussion and is divided into five chapters.It mainly takes Baohua Mountain's literary works as the text analysis object.The negotiation relationship between Huashan literature and Buddhism.Speaking of Baohua Mountain Records,the records was compiled twice.The mountain records compiled by Lawyer Ding'an Deji are more like monks and temple records,while the version of the Qing Dynasty Liu Mingfang has the original appearance of the mountain records.Based on this,taking Li Weizhen's Travel Notes on Mount Hua as a clue,combined with the records of mountain chronicles,it is a new way to restore the cultural landscape of Mount Baohua recorded by the literati and present the cultural memory of Mount Baohua.The laymen and villagers living on Baohua Mountain,the literati and the royal guests in the monastery

mountain people farmed.Sang and others go their own way,and they are connected with each other through the management of the temple and the support of the temple.Afterwards,starting from the "category theory",discussing the history of Chinese Buddhism literature,according to the Guanghong Ming Ji,the main body of Baohuashan literature creation is divided into sangha,buddhist royal family and nobles,scholar-officials,and folk literary folk creators.In the context of different identities,the eminent monks and lawyers of Baohua have created a large number of classics of religious discipline and some highly functional poems;the royal family and aristocrats take the chronicle and describe the royal merits as the purpose,and the poems are highly political;the scholar-officials Poetry and

turbulence,mixed literary thoughts,and rapid development of various styles.There are both vulgar trends,and ideological trends of imitating and learning from the ancients.The influence of literati is also more complicated.This summarizes the interactive relationship between Buddhism and literature in Baohua Mountain.The Buddhist space writing and power structure of Baohua Mountain can be seen from the poems in the temples.The poets are subordinated to the transcending religious power and the political power of the world.The two are both external and internal,coexisting and reinforcing each
