What was the purpose of the New Yuefu Movement in the Tang Dynasty? What were the masterpieces born at that time?

As the initiator of the poetry revolution in the Tang Dynasty, many famous poets organized revolutionary work in the poetry circle, all with the purpose of revolutionary restoration of the poetry collection system and carrying forward the tradition of The Book of Songs and Han Yuefu? Praise and criticize current events. Many allegorical poems such as "Selling Charcoal Weng" and "Red Carpet" were also born in the Han Yuefu Movement.

1. During the mid-Tang Dynasty of the New Yuefu Movement, after the Anshi Rebellion, the imperial court was in a mess. During Yuan Zhen and Yuan He years, the Tang government was in a period of heavy taxes and frequent chaos, and the contradictions in all aspects of society were pushed to the peak. At this time, our court officials and people with lofty ideals are also eager to change the existing situation, and they have deep helplessness to reality. They hope to ease social contradictions by improving political direction and let the Tang Dynasty return to its heyday again. The new Yuefu movement was born under this background. Its central idea lies in derogatory comments on the real society. It is an important innovation in literature and poetry to take new titles as the standard and music as the standard. Among them, the main leaders are poets Bai Juyi, Yuan Zhen and Jincon.

Second, works are frequent. The reform of poetry under the New Yuefu Movement not only has new changes in the title of poetry, but also the structure of poetry is mostly six-character and eight-character quatrains. In expressing artistic conception, most poems are mainly allegorical, and many famous works were born at this time. In 808 AD, the great poet Bai Juyi was appointed as an admonition officer. He observes people's feelings in his official career and knows the sufferings of the world. He wrote many poems about this phenomenon, the most famous of which is Selling Charcoal Weng, which criticized the exorbitant taxes of the current imperial court, so that the old people over the age of ancient times could not go home to enjoy their family happiness, but were desperately pulling carts and selling charcoal to pay the taxes of the imperial court. The red carpet was also a realistic portrayal of the misery of Xuanzhou people at that time, and it was a criticism of the imperial court's indifference to people's life and death.

The New Yuefu Movement was a poetic revolution in the middle Tang Dynasty. With the participation of many scholars and politicians, the scale of reform is huge, which expands the direction for the progress of our Tang poetry culture and develops a poetry school that criticizes the shortcomings of the times, which is of positive significance to some extent.
