Its styles are high and low, far and near, thick and light, shallow and deep, large and small, fine and thick, skillful and clumsy, strong and weak, and extremely rich and powerful. Its tone is elegant, muddy, deep, broad, beautiful, leisurely, new, obscene and extravagant.

There are many authors of Tang poetry, rich in content and colorful in style. & lt Complete Tang Poetry >>* * * 900 volumes, including more than 2,200 authors and 48,900 works. Because of the wide range of Tang poetry, there are many anthologies, the most familiar one is the anthology of retired scholars in Qing Dynasty. & lt； .
The Tang Dynasty is the golden age in the history of the development of China's classical poetry, and the reasons for the prosperity of Tang poetry can be divided into several aspects:
The strength of the Tang Dynasty was strong and its prestige spread far and wide, and foreign envoys came to the DPRK in succession. It seems that Japan, Korea, Baekje, Silla and Tubo have sent a large number of international students to study in China. Cultural and academic exchanges have promoted the vigorous development of literature and art, and the prosperity of poetry is no exception.
In addition, the Sui Dynasty initiated the imperial examination system, and the Tang Dynasty inherited the American system. Poetry and Fu was one of the main subjects of the imperial examination at that time. With this new way to enter the officialdom, poor scholars naturally study hard, so there are many people who are good at poetry and fu, paving the way for the development of Tang poetry.
Most of the emperors in the Tang Dynasty were very literary. From Gaozhou to Emperor Taizong, they set up schools all over the country, and even set up Hong Wen Pavilion and Chongwen Pavilion in Beijing. If there are good people in the world, there will be nothing in the next life. Since the emperor likes literature, he will summon excellent poets to sing praises for him. Xuanzong once called Li Bai into the palace to write down three chapters of Qing Ping Diao, Xianzong called Bai Juyi as a bachelor of Hanlin, and Mu Zong promoted Yuan Zhen as a boon given to poets by doctors from various departments of the Ministry of Health, setting an example for literati to write poems and compositions, hoping to leap to the dragon gate one day.
In addition, after the development of Han, Wei and Six Dynasties, poetry opened up different fields. Tang poetry summed up the experience of predecessors, absorbed the contents of different social levels, and gradually formed a profound Tang poetry.
