One of the greatest benefits of studying ancient poetry is that it can cultivate sentiment and lay a solid cultural foundation for it. Most importantly, such cultural edification is the basic way for us as modern people to talk to our ancestors.
In ancient times, poetry had many practical functions and was very important for personal development. Poetry is a very popular thing and a daily necessity in mainstream life.
In a word, the idea of "official standard" runs through all dynasties and classes in China, so it is the right way for scholars to enter the official career. From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the late Qing Dynasty, the imperial examination was the basic system for selecting talents in the country, so most people wanted to enter the official career through the imperial examination.
Moreover, the stereotyped writing examination began in the Ming Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty, not only articles but also poems were tested. In this way, literary talent and poetry have become the most important skills to settle down.
Many people are famous for their literary talent, such as Wei Zhuang, a poet and poet in the late Tang Dynasty. Many people will recite his poem "Spring is brighter than the sky, the boat listens to the rain", but his famous work is actually Yin.
At that time, Huang Chao army invaded Chang 'an, and Wei Zhuang, who had just studied in Chang 'an, fled to Luoyang. What I saw along the way was human purgatory, so I wrote the sentence "The inner library burned into brilliant ashes, and the sky street was full of bones".
"Fu Qin Yin" was a big explosion of that era. To what extent? At that time, people not only circulated and recited them widely, but also wrote them in the Brochure, making them "Fu Qin Zhang Yin", and Wei Zhuang became a world-famous talent in Luoyang.
