Han Shan Style
During his secluded life in the Tiantai Mountains, Han Shan wrote a large number of poems on rocks, trees and walls. After his decease, the poems were collected and compiled, known as Three Hundred Poems by Han Shan.
Han Shan's poetry has distinctive features. He wrote interesting poems straight from the heart in popular or refined styles, not confining himself to poetic structures or rhythms. The fresh and elegant style of Han Shan's poems, the straightforward expressions of emotions and the spontaneous way of composing had a great influence on traditional literati. Many renowned literati, such as Wang Anshi (1021-1086), Su Dongpo (1037-1101), Huang Tingjian (1045-1105), Zhu Xi (1130-1200) and Lu You (1125-1210), were all influenced by Han Shan's poems in one way or another. The style of his poems was later called the Han Shan Style with the following features: mostly five-character lines, colloquial language, repetitive metaphors and similes, popular philosophy, and plain manner.
寒山體
寒山隱居天臺(tái)山期間，曾經(jīng)創(chuàng)作了大量詩(shī)歌。這些隨性書寫的詩(shī)歌，或是在巖石上，或是在樹枝上，或是在墻壁上，在寒山去世后，經(jīng)由后人收集、整理成為寒山詩(shī)三百首。
寒山詩(shī)歌創(chuàng)作具有鮮明的特征：不拘格律，直抒胸臆，或俗或雅，涉筆成趣。寒山詩(shī)清新、淡雅的風(fēng)格，直抒情感的表達(dá)方式以及隨興所至的創(chuàng)作方式都對(duì)傳統(tǒng)文人產(chǎn)生較大影響，如王安石、蘇東坡、黃庭堅(jiān)、朱熹、陸游等負(fù)有盛名的文人，都曾受到過(guò)寒山詩(shī)的影響。后人將寒山詩(shī)的風(fēng)格稱為“寒山體”，即形式上以五言為主、表達(dá)上力求白話化、修辭上采用反復(fù)譬喻、意義上體現(xiàn)通俗哲理、風(fēng)格上力求古淡。
