Thanks for the bio sketches of these marvelous poets, bearing Taoist spirit in different forms. Of the poets you featured, I find Wang Wei's quiet clarity most balanced!
From this post, I thought it's interesting you mentioned that Wei-Jin era culminated in the climax of calligraphy, where it became a vehicle for expression. In instability, creation becomes possible.
Thanks Peckgee! I'm glad you find all these sketches useful. I have not actually started a coherent series on Wang Wei, still in the preparation stage 😅 I feel I know many details about him, but still there are so many materials to sort through.
You are right. The Wei-Jin era was such a special and unique era in Chinese history. I need to approach it through different angles. Poetry and landscape paintings are just one way to do it. Love your thought on creating order amidst disorder. That we can do.
Mysticism as the thing that unthreads certainty without collapsing meaning hits. Less answers, more capacity to love what is. That feels like real faith, not the performative kind.
Thanks for sharing your insight, love it. There's just so much we don't know about things, about ourselves. Mysticism is a state of the mind, being open to receive, to see.
