Su Shi(苏轼, 1037-1101)is the representative of "Song Tune"(宋调)in the history of ancient Chinese poetry. His Poems of Mt. Lu(庐山诗, 1084) have always attracted attention and cause continuous controversy. However, scholars often ignore their internal connections. Through text analysis, we can see that this group of poems written in Lushan has a rich Buddhist color. The Buddhist viewpoints, images, discourse patterns and the traditional model of Chinese poetry writing form a wonderful fusion. On the other hand, the contents and expressions of these poems are quite different. From this, we find that the influence of Buddhism on Su Shi is very complicated. Through the case study, we will also get a new understanding of "Song Tune".
