Abstract The monk poets in the Liao and Jin Dynasties can be divided into clergies and quasi clergies, with the first type far outnumbering the latter. The monk poets had three characteristics: excursion and visits to scholars help increase their Buddhist knowledge, enrich their Buddhist activities, sharpen their poetic psyche, grow their poetic ability and improve poetic skills; most monk poets were well educated and very able in literary creation; many monk poets were wellacquainted with Buddhism and stood out with their contributions to religious cause or social development. Their poetry can be divided into five types: those about Buddhism and Zen, those presented to the monarchy, those expressing personal emotions, those touching worldly feelings and those about reclusive life. The unique charm of these poems is the “vegetable air” of reclusive life and the borrowing of Buddhist terms into poetry.
