斯奈德受中国的影响几乎是全方位的:儒家和道家思想、禅宗、中国山水画、尤其是中国古典诗歌都对他的诗歌创作产生了广泛影响。斯奈德的诗有禅意,他特别钟情于寒山和王维等人充满禅机佛理、歌颂大自然的诗篇。斯奈德所翻译的寒山诗和他寒山式的生活方式使他成为美国的寒山。 Snyder’s influence by China is almost all-around: Confucianism and Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Chinese landscape painting, and especially Chinese classical poetry all have a wide range of influences on his poetry. Snyder’s poem has Zen, and he is particularly in love with Hanshan and Wang Wei and others who are full of Zen Buddhism, praising nature’s Psalms. Snyder’s translation of Hanshan’s poetry and his cold-mountain lifestyle made him a cold mountain in the United States.
