Abstract
Kūkai,who had intended to study in Tang for 20 years, got abhiksema given by Master Huiguo and was instructed to return to Japan soon, so that he left China after two-year study to spread Tantric Buddhism. Kūkai devoted himself to exercising and spreading Buddhism and left us many Buddhist works, among which there is a book on the writing art of poems and composition, that is, the famous Bunkyo Hifuron. why did he edit such a book? Surely it shows his love of Han Culture. What's more,the uique title and structure speaks out his minds of buddhism. This article is ready to make an thourough inquiry into the Buddhist meanings of the unique phrase Bunkyo appearing in the title in order to expose Kūkai's Buddhist thoughts and devotion and to expose a new understanding of the book.
