(2) Political factors/monarch advocacy
Several powerful emperors in the Tang Dynasty not only loved music, but also advocated it. Gao Zong and Wu Hou, who are good at music, often make new words and organize them into Yuefu. When I arrived in Xuanzong, the wind was even stronger. He is a poet, musician and actor. He loves literature and art and is arty, which has a certain stimulating effect on the development of literature and art. In addition, he took poetry as a scholar in the Tang Dynasty, so he became a shortcut for literati to obtain official positions and played an important role in strengthening the training of poetry skills and popularizing poetry.
(3) the evolution of poetic style/the development of literature itself
From the pre-Qin Book of Songs, Songs of the South, the 19 Yuefu folk songs and ancient poems in the Han Dynasty, to the poetry creation in Jian 'an, Zhengshi and Jin Dynasties, and then to the proposal and application of temperament theory in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they have accumulated rich creative experience for Tang poetry. Seven-character ancient poems and rhyming quatrains, a new poetic style, began to take shape in the Six Dynasties, and its form and rhythm began to take shape. The social life in the Tang Dynasty became more and more complicated, and the poet's thoughts and feelings were rich. In poetry creation, new content needs new forms, and poets in the Tang Dynasty used new forms to express their feelings, which made these new-style poems mature in form, rhythm and rhetoric.
(4) The activity of ideology and culture/the influence of other arts on the development of poetry.
The development of Tang poetry is obviously influenced by other arts. Music, sculpture, dance and painting in the Tang Dynasty absorbed foreign influences on the basis of China tradition, which had a positive impact on the content and style of poetry. For example, Wang Wei's landscape poems are known as "paintings in poems" and are obviously influenced by landscape paintings. As for Li Qi's, Cen Can's and Du Fu's poems about music, dance and painting, we can see that writers are brave enough to accept new things.
(5) Improve the application value of poetry.
The application value of poetry in Tang society has been improved unprecedentedly, such as inviting dignitaries and celebrities to use it and sending people to use poetry. There are excellent works from emperors, nobles, scribes and bureaucrats to Taoist priests and geisha, which should be related to the improvement of the application value of poetry.
The Tang Dynasty is a well-known paradise for poetry. The so-called "Yuan Qu of Tang Poetry and Song Poetry" ascribes poetry to the Tang Dynasty, which also shows the position and monopoly of the Tang Dynasty in the history of poetry. There are different opinions about the reasons for the prosperity of Tang poetry since ancient times. To sum up, the economy, politics, culture, history and other aspects of the Tang Dynasty are extremely suitable for the development of poetry, thus making it reach an unprecedented peak in the Tang Dynasty.
The developed economy in Tang Dynasty laid a solid material foundation for the prosperity of Tang poetry. Historically, China in the Tang Dynasty was a big country in China, and the Tang Dynasty was a peak of the development of feudal society. Such a prosperous economy provides the necessary conditions for such things as art. Simply put, if people still don't have enough to eat and their brains can move at any time, I'm afraid it's not a good time to express poetry. However, in the Tang dynasty, the country was rich and strong, and there was Taizong Zhenguan before it. Later, Du Shiyun of Xuanzong Kaiyuan said: "The rice is fat and white, and the public and private granaries are rich." In ancient times, society almost reached the point of great harmony. In such an era of peace and prosperity, poetry has found fertile ground for vigorous development.
The loose political policy implemented in the Tang Dynasty also played a very important role in the prosperity of poetry. A series of policies and measures implemented by the rulers, such as the coexistence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, opening up the way and selecting scholars by poetry and fu, are another social reason for the prosperity of Tang poetry.
First of all, the Tang Dynasty, as the royal family that ruled this dynasty, was the leader of the Tang Dynasty and had an unprecedented mind and vision. More importantly, the Tang Dynasty was an unprecedented ethnic integration in the history of China. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, was also of foreign origin, so the ethnic policy of the Tang Dynasty was unprecedentedly enlightened. "It is precisely because of this political background that the Li Dynasty was able to face foreign civilizations with unprecedented self-confidence, which is hard to achieve. The national policy pursued by Datang is "China is safe, and the outside world is four-self", and foreigners are treated equally. Many foreign cultures have been integrated into China culture, showing China's great power. The self-confidence of the Tang Dynasty gave the poet the mentality of "reaching the peak, the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.". ",the national culture is prosperous.
