One; In the development of Tang society, many restrictive factors were solved, and some political and economic innovations made great progress. More importantly, the scene of "elite cutting off politics" is basically completed, which liberates the old people in life theory, thus opening up the horizon for poetry creation, one of the cultural lifestyles, and gaining a "stagnant water source" for poetry art.
Second; Due to the general progress of economy, it provides the material premise and universal source for the prosperity of literature.
Third; The accumulation of previous generation literature; It has gained a good responsibility, thus laying a solid foundation for Tang poetry. It is on the basis of predecessors' cultural inheritance that the poets in the Tang Dynasty can be eclectic, learn from others' strengths and metabolize, and push China's poetry culture to a new peak.
Fourth; The imperial examination system was adopted in the Tang Dynasty, and the content of the examination was poetry (which was comprehensively summarized) and fu (rhyme). The emperor also loved poetry, (this is very important! ) will inevitably form a' social atmosphere' that attaches importance to poetry, thus improving the social status of literati.
Five; The main point is that the political analogy in the Tang Dynasty is open, especially in religious culture, which advocates Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Allowing foreign religions to spread in China is a favorable factor for people to broaden their horizons, enliven their thinking and promote the formation of various styles of literature and art. At the same time, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty grew, the rulers were full of self-confidence, there was no "literary prison" at all, and the courage and knowledge of literati were equal. (for example; Li Bai was slandered, which means' paying back the money'. Scholars and poets have a wide range of genres, and the social problems they reflect are quick and sharp. (Not a celebration)
Six; What did the Tang Dynasty do to neighboring countries and border nationalities? Economic and cultural exchange policy; Music, dance, painting, architecture and other aspects are all influenced by the western regions and foreign countries, and these novel things (India, Central Asian countries) have also given the poet a broad and excellent artistic accomplishment.
Qu's Prosperity in Yuan Dynasty
With the prosperity of zaju in Yuan Dynasty, Sanqu, a new form of poetry, also shines brilliantly in Yuan Dynasty, representing the highest achievement of poetry creation in Yuan Dynasty. This kind of new poetry inherits the factors of traditional poetry and has a distinct spirit of the times. Formally, it uses the same metrical form as the lyrics in zaju, and the language style is similar, which is a part of "Yuan Qu". Compared with poetry, in order to meet the needs of impromptu lyricism and singing, the form and language of Sanqu are vulgar. Sanqu can be supplemented at will according to the author's needs, ranging from one word to ten, while observing the fixed laws. The language of Sanqu (especially the narration) is mainly spoken and spoken, so the language of Sanqu is more free and light, and more suitable for expressing improvisational and lively emotions.
Ci was very popular in the Song Dynasty.
Song Ci, as a generation of literature, shows the social and cultural characteristics of that particular era. The prosperity of festivals and the richness of festival activities in Song Dynasty are naturally projected into Song Ci. Famous writers in Song Dynasty wrote festival words, and festival words became an extremely important category in Song Ci. The prosperity of festival preface words is closely related to the advocacy of seasonal activities of the New Year by the ruling class at that time, the prevalence of feasting and enjoyment in society, and the rise of commercial culture and civic culture. The preface expresses the Song people's interest in embracing reality and loving life.
"Every generation has a generation of literature: the Sao of Chu, the Fu of Han, the Parallel Prose of Six Generations, the Poems of Tang, the Ci of Song and the Song of Yuan, all of which are the so-called generation of literature, and those who cannot be succeeded by later generations also:" Wang Guowei.
