Bøger af Hanshan

Jeg bor på et bjergIngen kender stedeti de hvide skyeri stilhed stilhed altid Digteren og eneboeren Hanshan er en af den kinesiske litteraturs mest sagnomspundne figurer. Han siges at have levet under Tangdynastiet i årene 712-793, men det er behæftet med betydelig usikkerhed, da kendskabet til ham udelukkende baserer sig på ca. 300 overleverede digte. Digtene skulle været skrevet i en hule i Tiantaibjergene. De rummer både buddhistisk, zenbuddhistisk og daoistisk visdom og beskrivelser af hans daglige liv på det kolde bjerg. Pseudonymet Hanshan betyder netop Kolde Bjerg. Hanshan anses for at være Kinas mest oversatte digter.
