The literary position and influential position of Tang poetry: Tang poetry is the highest achievement in the development of China's poetry. It inherited the essence of poetry since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Due to the open atmosphere, clear politics and the admiration of rulers in the Tang Dynasty, poetry in the Tang Dynasty developed greatly. For example, the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty required special examination of poetry. Moreover, most poets in the Tang Dynasty like roaming. For example, Li Bai and Du Fu traveled all over China, which broadened the poet's horizons, broadened the theme of poetry and enriched associations. In a word, the poems and songs of the Tang Dynasty are the epitome of China's ancient poems, reaching a position that is beyond the reach of later generations and the highest peak in the history of China's poetry.
Influence: The poetry creation in the Tang Dynasty has various ways and rich themes, which provides a good template for later poetry creation. As the saying goes, you can recite 300 Tang poems by heart even if you can't write them.
Similarly, due to the high achievements of Tang poetry, it is difficult for future generations to surpass it, so new literary fields have been developed, and the emergence and development of Song Ci is a good example.
What are the characteristics and types of Tang poetry? Tang people used to comment on another poem with poetry. Generally speaking, poetry is not centered on poetry, and the whole article is related to it. The comment form of the whole poem was originally Du Fu's "Drama is a quatrain", among which the most famous sentence is: "Wang Yang is in a romantic mood, but he is frivolous." This group of poems is an organic whole. Although it is not specially used to comment on Tang poetry, its main content is to discuss some ideas about the creation of Tang poetry.
Among them, there are also comments on the four outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty. At the same time, this poem also created the precedent of seven poems and poetry groups. Five Stories of Mancheng written by Li Shangyin in the late Tang Dynasty is also a group of seven poems in form. This is just an example. Poetry has a great influence on later poetry. After the Tang Dynasty, there were many imitators, especially from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, such as Jin Yuanhao's Thirty Poems and Qian's Sixteen Poems.
In addition to commenting on poems by poems, other contents related to commenting on Tang poems also exist in various forms, such as giving poems, writing poems, farewell poems, chanting poems, poetry comments, couplet poems and so on.
Poems in Tang Dynasty are widely used in interpersonal communication, and it is often very common to give answers with poems, and poems in the form of poems are the most common, including poems in giving answers and poems in answering answers, and most of them are poems in giving answers. The most famous ones are Li Bai's "To Wang Lun" and Du Fu's "To Wei Zuocheng's Twenty-two Rhymes", while answering poems is like Wei's "Answering Li Shizhen Xiangshan Poetry", except for the original text.
Poems that should be written are common in the early Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and are typical court poems. Just like Zhang said, "the secretariat of each state should have a title", its content is used to echo and praise the new system of Xuanzong, which is equivalent to taking the secretariat of each state as the motto of administration.
Farewell poems are due to the fact that the literati in the Tang Dynasty had many long-distance travel experiences. In a sense, "long-distance travel" was connected by "separation" in one place, and farewell poems were sent to each other without losing the true qualities of literati. In addition, the frequent occurrence of such activities has led to the widespread appearance of farewell poems. Farewell poems can be divided into farewell poems and farewell poems according to the identity of the creative subject, but there are many farewell poems, such as Farewell to Du DuDu's Appointment, Farewell to Friends, Retirement, etc., which shows the popularity of farewell poems at that time. Farewell poems, taking Li Bai as an example, include Farewell to King Sima Song and Duke Guangling, which can also be said to be the traces left by Li Bai's wandering life.
