With the topic construction method in the "Tradition and the Individual Talent" by T. S. Eliot, this study explores how Shih Shu-Ching develops a new topic with her Transcending (2016) in the long writing traditions of religion and love. Her novels feature religious social background, regime change, and implied meaning. Her Walking through Luojin describes temple architecture, festivals, gods, and relations between ancestral hometown and business. The Dust before the Wind describes Shintoism and conflicts between the Japanese and the aboriginals, aboriginal animism belief, and impermanence formation. The painter in Walking through Luojin demonstrates the emptiness of sensuality by chasing a dead girl's soul with "The Picture of Scenes in Hell." Shih has written The Dead Wood Blooms for Master Sheng-Yen but only since Transcending has she started to focus on Buddhism and use it to string up the past lives and the present life of the characters. This is a transformation for her literary works. With the large number of texts about sensuality and religion, what is special about Shih's exploration of religious solution for the tangles among the characters? This article deems that the author masters it so much that she arranges many pre-texts related to love and mysticism such as "The God of the Clear-Stream Temple" and "Fan Zhi Spews a Pot." It compares the plots with the situations of the characters, lists the existing pedigrees, and reinforces the differences among the characters' methods of treating passions on this traditional basis. It also reflects on women's position with Biographies of Bhikshunis. With the articles mentioned above, this study holds that writing may hinder practices and shows the book's characteristics and value in the world of Taiwanese literature today
