On the Practice of Buddhism of Qing Dynasty's Poetesses and its Influences on Literature

It was a widespread phenomenon that Qing Dynasty's poetesses converted to Buddhism and paid homage to Buddhism. It happened when they suffered from traumatic misfortunes and miseries. They filled their spiritual anguish with religious belief for constant self-adjustments. Moreover，these practices had certain influences on the literary works they were engaged in. On the one hand，it enriched literary language and expanded the level of poetry and ci-poetry; on the other，it dispelled their creative passion in turn.
