From Baidu Library

The prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty is a magnificent and magnificent movement in Chinese history.

The vision of the Tang people It is broader than the Chinese people of any dynasty, and the torch of inclusive civilization has spread further than any dynasty in China.

Through the tunnel of history, we can still touch the breath and pulse of the land of China in that era, and feel the heartbeat of the Chinese people in that era

You see, the color of Tang Sancai glazed pottery is so gorgeous and romantic, reflecting the rich and leisurely life interest of the Tang people. The poetry of the Tang Dynasty stands tall against the sky and the earth, and its awe-inspiring spirit fills the chest. Look,

"

There is a bright moon on the sea, the end of the world ***At this time

"

The tide is flat and the two sides are wide, and the wind is blowing The sail is hanging

"

Climbing high to the spectacular sky and earth

The vast river will never return

"

Mo Worrying about the future without friends, no one in the world knows the king

"...

Even if it is about the decline of the scene, he is still strong and majestic, and he is devoted to the country

Never give up the sense of national responsibility,

"

The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is springy and lush.

Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty during its heyday, not only It was the political, economic and cultural center of the country at that time, and also the center of East Asian civilization at that time.

The unified imperial capital, as the center of the transportation network, extended thoroughfares to all parts of the country, and connected East Asia, It is a major town in Central Asia, West Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, and has had contacts with more than

300

countries and regions in the world.

The spread of Chinese papermaking and gunpowder to Europe greatly promoted the development of Western civilization. At the same time, astronomy, calendar, mathematics, architecture, and medicine from Western countries were also introduced to China, which had a certain impact on the Tang Dynasty.

The nine city gates on the east, west and south sides of Chang'an attract people from all over

with a broad mind. Among them are the children of noble families from Shandong's wealthy families. There were also talented people from the southeast who came to take the imperial examination, including

Hu generals who surrendered or were captured from the northwest, and

who came from the interior of Central Asia along the Silk Road. Sogdian merchants,

and even Christian priests and Manichaeans from the more distant Persia and Qin Dynasty, were also sharing it with Buddhist monks and Taoists. Competing for space of faith. Through commercial trafficking and dynasty's taxes and contributions, Chang'an has accumulated a lot of wealth and treasures in the world; through the knowledge transfer in schools, the joint efforts of missionaries and Buddhist monks, Chang'an has also become

p>

The place where spiritual thoughts are the richest.

For this reason, in the centuries-long cultural exchanges that followed, South Asia’s Buddhism, medicine, calendar, linguistics,

phonology, music, dance, and fine arts, East Asia Music and dance from West Asia and the Western world

Zoroasia

Nestorianism, Manichaeism, Islam, etc.

Come from all directions The winds were introduced into China one after another and had a profound impact on Chinese culture.

In the introduction to the book, they once summarized why the Tang Dynasty had such great vitality, believing that on the one hand it could be summed up as the eclecticism of the Tang Dynasty

>

, that is, the integration and unification of various cultures that occurred in the previous four hundred years of chaotic Chinese history

; on the other hand, its cosmopolitanism

, that is, It was tolerant of various foreign influences, such as people from Asia and Europe who entered China one after another and made many contributions to the material culture and spiritual culture of the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an at that time It is also a grand international city with a great empire

gathering countless gold and silver treasures and delicacies, as well as political talents and cultural elites at home and abroad.

The important reason why Tang Dynasty culture was so splendid

was its absorption of foreign culture,

and the integration of foreign culture with traditional Chinese culture. Melt together.

Of course, the reasons for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty are multifaceted and cannot be summarized in one or two sentences, but we can at least give

the overall impression from the poems of the Tang Dynasty. , we can see the style and spirit of the times in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, namely: broad, powerful, far-reaching, transcendent, abundant vitality, joy of creation, brand-new experience, open artistic conception, and inclusive feelings. These verses are filled with a majestic spirit that covers the heavens and the earth, and can still make the cowardly brave and the weak strong even after thousands of years.

Enlightenment and openness were the foundation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Only by being open-minded can all the rivers come together and the sea be vast and profound. The prosperous Tang Dynasty

It was only a short period of fifty years, but its power and grandeur were not only a bright spot in Chinese history, but also worth mentioning in world history

We are proud of the glory

The Tang Dynasty was a golden period in Chinese history. In addition to strong national strength, political clarity, economic prosperity, and world peace, the most outstanding highlight is the splendid culture.

During the Tang Dynasty, literature and art were in various forms and flourished. The Tang Monk in the novel "Journey to the West" refers to Master Xuanzang during the Zhenguan period. He went to India to seek Dharma for 17 years. After returning home with a great reputation, he was treated with the highest courtesy, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty praised him twice as much. The poetry styles of the Tang Dynasty were diverse, famous writers emerged in large numbers, and they were magnificent and spread throughout the ages. Everyone is familiar with them, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Li Shangyin, Du Mu, etc. In addition, in the art of calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty, not only regular script had various schools, but cursive script also reached its peak. Famous calligraphers such as Zhang Xu and Huai Su emerged.

The famous Tang Sancai was exported abroad through the "Silk Road" as early as the early Tang Dynasty and was deeply loved by foreign people. This kind of pottery is famous for its colorful glaze, bright luster and exquisite shape. It is a bright pearl among ancient Chinese pottery.

The Tang Dynasty pursued an opening policy, actively absorbed the essence of foreign cultures, and continuously enriched its own nutrition. As a result, it became the most civilized and powerful country in the world at that time. Its capital, Chang'an, was a cosmopolitan city, just like New York in the United States today.

Looking back at the splendid culture and art of the Tang Dynasty, we can easily come to the conclusion that the Chinese nation was once the best nation in the world, and the Chinese were also the best citizens.

So today, we should work harder for the re-emergence and rejuvenation of the nation!

Analysis of the reasons for the cultural prosperity of the Tang Dynasty

First of all,

The development of any culture is inseparable from economic support.

According to

the human beings revealed in Marxism and political economy The law of social development

is the most fundamental driving force and the most important

factor that promotes the development of human economic and social development.

It is the development and level of social productive forces. Improving

productivity determines

the production relations of society

What kind of productivity there is will be the same

production relations

p>

Production relations react on productivity,

that is, when production relations

do not adapt to the development of productivity, productivity will promote production relations

Change

The opposition and unity of productivity and production relations constitute the social production mode

The mode of production

The foundation and core of production relations is the ownership of the means of production,

p>

So

>Ownership determines the owner’s social status and benefit distribution

Production relations

Including production

,

distribution

,

Exchange

,

The four major links of consumption,

the sum total of which constitutes

It has become the economic base of a society.

This base determines the superstructure.

And the superstructure reacts on the economic base. The economic base and the superstructure

Building opposition and unity constitute the social form,

that is, the social system

Thus,

it can be seen that any social form is based on the economic foundation and The opposition and unity of the superstructure develop in a coordinated way. The development of the economy will inevitably lead to the development of the superstructure.

The prosperity of the economy will inevitably lead to the development of culture. The prosperity

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty

,

in order to restore production and develop the economy,

On the one hand, through the implementation of land equalization

system and rent adjustment,

mobilized farmers' enthusiasm for production;

On the other hand,

Large-scale construction of water conservancy projects,

thus ensuring the steady development of agricultural production

According to

historical records:

Tang Taizong Zhenguan four years

630

year

)

The Great Master of the World ,

The diaspora

Those who returned to their hometowns had only three or four coins per bucket of rice, and only twenty-nine people were sentenced to death at the end of the year

From the east to the sea,

the five ridges of Antarctica,

all open to the outside world,

traveling without food,

take

Give me the road

.

The economic foundation provided necessary material support for cultural development

The relatively stable social situation in the Tang Dynasty also provided the necessary conditions for cultural development

Moist soil,

the two coordinated with each other,

together promoted the emergence of cultural phenomena that prospered in the Tang Dynasty

Secondly,

The cultural policy of the Tang Dynasty was enlightened

and

diversified.

This is why

Formally speaking,

is conducive to the emergence of cultural prosperity

,

the phenomenon of a hundred flowers blooming

Yes

In view of the cultural diversity of the Tang Dynasty,

most of the rulers of the Tang Dynasty held the concept of harmony

,

integration

Attitude

Ever since Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty proposed

"

Although the three religions are different

,

good things come together in one thing

View

Point

,

Most future monarchs will follow this thinking trend

Tang Gaozong once said

:

"

Shi

,

Tao

Two religions

,

Bond the same good

Even if it is based on political needs, Wu Ze

Heaven

,

also advocates

:

"

Buddha

,

The Two Teachings of Tao

,

Both Return to Goodness

,

The ultimate in non-action

,

are all one sect

Thus, we advocate the equal emphasis on Buddhism and Taoism

Tang Dynasty Ruizong

,

Xuanzong and his son were famous

for their Taoism

, but they also Advocating equal emphasis on Buddhism and Taoism

Ruizong once said

:

Shi Dian Xuanzong

,

p>

Lijun

Different traces

,

Saving people and transforming them into customs

,

Teaching different merits together

"

Xuanzong also said

:

"

Taoism and Buddhism

,

Its return

one body

Even after the Anshi Rebellion

This attitude has basically not changed

Tang Dezong praised

:

"

p>

Shi

,

Taoism

,

Welfare for all living beings

It is this kind of cultural policy that

pays equal attention to the three religions

and

uses both

This enabled the Tang Dynasty to avoid the dominance of one family in the ideological field

This effectively promoted

Confucianism

,

Buddhism

,

Mutual absorption and integration of the three schools of Taoism

,

p>

It also created an open cultural atmosphere

in which various academic ideas and foreign religions developed freely

in the Tang Dynasty

In short,

The prosperous Tang culture is inseparable from the enlightened Tang Dynasty cultural policy

Once again, the promotion of the imperial examination system

The imperial examination system originated from the policy of the Han Dynasty

Exams,

it sprouted from the Nine-Liu Changxuan in the Southern and Northern Dynasties,

and was finalized in the Jinshi of the Sui Dynasty

Ke,

>The Imperial Examination in the Tang Dynasty focused on Jinshi subjects,

Ming classics followed,

This was the main subject for selecting political talents

Jinshi subjects mainly focus on classics

,

policy theory

, and

poetry.

Ming Dynasty

Confucian classics are mainly based on pasting the classics

,

the meaning of the classics

, and

strategies

p>

One of the characteristics of the imperial examination system

is that it provides a relatively equal platform for people from all walks of life

and from all walks of life

>

Equal competition opportunities, which is a reversal of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties

The situation of selecting talents according to the level of the family,

for small and medium-sized landowners

,

Children of self-cultivating farmers and other classes have created a kind of equality

in joining the officialdom, which has created a kind of people who rely on their own hard work to achieve their goals

It is necessary to show the value orientation of officialdom and salary

As long as you work hard,

it is possible to get ahead

and get ahead

This is how to mobilize This has increased students’ enthusiasm for learning

So,

from this

perspective, it is this kind of thing that now seems to constrain human free thinking

p>

The imperial examination,

indirectly promoted the hard study of the young people at that time,

also promoted the comprehensive development of Tang culture from another aspect

Prosperity
