First, landscape poems mainly describe scenery and express the beauty of nature.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty was the heyday of frontier poetry creation, and there appeared some famous frontier poetry schools such as Gao Shi, Cen Can, Wang Changling, Li Jie and Wang Wei. Gao Zhi's Yan Gexing, Cen Can's Bai Xuege, Zou Chuanxing and other seven-character long sentences represent the aesthetic style of frontier poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, that is, bold, bold, romantic and so on. In addition, Li Bai and Du Fu, great poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, also wrote frontier poems, which became part of their representative works. For example, Li Bai's Guan Shanyue, Six Poems of Xia Sai, The Battle of the South of the City, Popular in the North ... Du Fu's Car Shop, The First Nine Embankments, The Last Six Embankments and so on. Other poets also have excellent frontier poems handed down from ancient times, such as Wang Changling's "Out of the Frontier" and "Joining the Army", Wang Zhihuan's "Out of the Frontier" and Wang Han's "Liangzhou Ci". Poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty became the climax of frontier fortress poetry creation. Since then, the number of frontier poems in the middle and late Tang Dynasty is small, but the theme has been expanded.
