    This passage reveals how profoundly Chan Buddhism's core concepts reshaped China's artistic consciousness. The groundbreaking application of terms like "subtle insight" (妙悟) to poetry criticism marks a seismic shift – moving evaluation beyond technical craft or moral didacticism towards valuing the *unspoken resonance* and intuitive clarity born of deep contemplation. Just as Chan meditation seeks the mind's "original tranquility," this critical lens taught scholars to perceive poetry not through rigid analysis, but through silent, receptive insight, mirroring the poet's own awakened state. The influence spreading to painting and calligraphy is inevitable and profound. Here, "subtle insight" manifests physically: in the spontaneity of a brushstroke capturing a mountain's spirit (qiyun), in the empty spaces holding boundless meaning, or in the rhythmic flow of ink embodying wu wei (effortless action). The artist, like the Chan practitioner, cultivates inner stillness to perceive.
