In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Taoist quiet thought was the main way to govern the country. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the imperial court was permeated with the atmosphere of worshipping Taoism, and Taoist poetry was also prosperous. In the Tang Dynasty, Taoism not only influenced the political affairs of the emperor, but also attracted a group of poets and became a bridge between poets and Xuanzong. Compared with the previous generation's poems about immortals, Taoist poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty have new features in subject matter, style and genre. There are famous poets, such as Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, Li Bai, Du Fu, Gao Shi and Cen Can. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in Kaiyuan and Tianbao, the society in the Tang Dynasty was highly prosperous and full of artistic flavor until the "An Shi Rebellion" broke out. After 100 years of preparation and brewing, Tang poetry finally reached its peak. Although, in the early, prosperous, middle and late Tang Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty is the shortest, but its achievements are the most brilliant. During this period, not only the great poet Li Bai appeared, but also a large number of talented and outstanding poets emerged. During this period, many poems that have been circulated for thousands of years have been produced. Passionate and unrestrained, with a strong romantic temperament, is the main feature of poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty; And even a quiet and beautiful work is full of life and brilliance. This is the "Voice of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty" respected by later generations. The prosperous Tang Dynasty in literature ended with the death of Du Fu.
