Jing 景 is an important element in Chinese poetry which has been, explicitly or implicitly, a focus of discussion among literary critics. Despite or perhaps because of its ”transcendental” implications, this term has mainly been explored in classical Chinese poetry; its use in modern Chinese poetry has seldom been analyzed. The present essay attempts to utilize the literary interpretations of Jing and Jingjie 境界 of Jao Tsung-i 饒宗頤 (1916- ), Xiao Yao-tian 蕭遙天 and Ye Jia-ying 葉嘉瑩 (1924- ), with reference also to the ideas of Tuan Yi-fu 段義孚, in order to discuss the sign of Jing via semiotic theory, according to which every interpretation relies upon the relationship between the sign and the meaning of itself.
