On the reasons for the prosperity of Tang poetry

First of all, economic prosperity provides abundant material conditions for the prosperity of poetry. Economic prosperity, convenient transportation and social stability provide a solid material foundation and a good social environment for the prosperity and development of Tang poetry. This is the concrete material condition for Li Bai, Du Fu and other poets to wander freely in the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, while Wang Changling and Wang Zhihuan casually "flag and sing".

Second, the unprecedented national unification provided a realistic foundation for the prosperity of Tang poetry. China is a multi-ethnic country. Since the Han Dynasty, it has formed a multi-ethnic unity. Later, due to the decay of the ruling class, the split between the North and the South appeared again, the Sui Dynasty ended the chaotic situation of the split between the North and the South, and the Tang Dynasty restored and developed multi-ethnic unity.

In order to seal and govern the border areas, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to the frontier defense work and rewarded it greatly. This stimulated the enthusiasm of people who went to the frontier to join the army, especially some literati who rushed to the frontier to join the shogunate and join the main generals on the battlefield. "Being a centurion is better than being a scholar." "and while one man guards it, and while one man guards it." It has become a fashion to make achievements and gain fame. Broaden one's horizons and stimulate creative enthusiasm, a large number of poets who express frontier feelings came into being. According to statistics, there are more than 2000 poems with frontier fortress as the theme in the whole Tang Dynasty. The prosperity of frontier fortress poetry adds luster to the prosperity of Tang poetry.
