Poetry reached its peak in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Why did it decline more and more later?

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the national strength was strong, the country was rich and the people were safe, and the development of poetry and songs reached its peak. Everything is hard to surpass at the peak, and everything after the peak will be eclipsed. The Tang Dynasty created conditions for poetry creation.

1. During the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin, the society reached the position of Zhenguan rule, and the prosperity of Kaiyuan later created conditions for literature. Many kings are also lovers of calligraphy and poetry, and have written many poems, which make people live and work in peace and contentment and have a greater demand for culture. And there were many talented people in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The implementation of the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty needed people who could recite poems by heart. So they met the right person at the right time. There were many poets in the Tang Dynasty. Li Bai, as we all know, is a great literary figure. He is famous as a poet and has written many world-famous poems. It is also said that good poems have existed before, and it is difficult for future generations to write poems as brilliant as before. Bai Juyi is a big fan of Li Bai. He worships Li Bai and thinks his poems are the best in the world. Under the influence of Li Bai, Bai Juyi also wrote many excellent poems.

Second, the Song Dynasty took the road of the Tang Dynasty, but the road was uneven, so that more and more people were literate and demanded more and more poetry, which gradually broke away from the control of the feudal class. If the poet can't write it, I will write it myself. Such thoughts flooded into the minds of the public, and after a long time, the Song School was formed. The so-called Tang poetry and Song poetry refers more to poetry, and words are not within the scope. These schools of Song Ci developed the skills of poetry to the extreme, broadened the field of poetry, not limited to one field, and used various methods to enhance the connotation and connotation of poetry. They are desperate to exclude the world, leaving only their own dignity. Therefore, with the efforts of these people, Tang poetry and Song poetry reached an unprecedented peak.

Later, the development and stories of Yuanqu were produced under a certain historical background. There was only one poem in the peak period of Tang poetry and Song poetry, and it is not surprising that another appeared.
