The role of early Tang poetry in the development of the whole Tang poetry.

It is the preparatory stage of Tang poetry. During this period, the literary style of the Six Dynasties still existed, and the poetry world was full of rhetoric and frivolous palace poems. The appearance of four outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty is an important turning point in the development of Tang poetry. His poems are innovative in subject matter, emotion and art, and have made historic contributions to the formation of modern poems and the development of seven-character poems. Poetry creation in the early Tang Dynasty played a historical role in connecting the past with the future and prospering the Tang Dynasty, representing the direction of the change of poetry style at that time.

The early Tang Dynasty was the pioneering period of Tang poetry. In the early Tang Dynasty, the floating poetry style of Qi Liang was inherited, and palace poetry was popular. Wang Ji is a poet who can get rid of the floating poetic style of palace poems. He highly praised Tao Yuanming's life attitude and poetic style, mainly describing the landscape and personal life of the garden, and his poetic style was sparse. "Four outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty" refers to four poets: Yang Jiong, Lu and Luo. Their main contribution is to destroy and transform palace poems, formulate five laws and develop seven-character songs. Following the "Four Masters", the two poets who formed regular poems were Shen Yiqi and Song. Chen Ziang was the first writer who raised the banner of poetry innovation in the Tang Dynasty. He admired the ancient poems of Han and Wei dynasties and advocated "the style of Han and Wei dynasties" and "elegance". He took retro as innovation, swept away the floating poetic style of palace poems, revised the development direction of Tang poetry, and paved the way for the arrival of the peak of Tang poetry.
