Executive summary:
During the Tang Dynasty, the country was strong, its strength was increasing day by day, and its economy and culture were in an advanced position in the world. The prosperity and unity of the country also provide extremely favorable conditions for the development of culture. Poetry in the early Tang Dynasty did not change rapidly with the unification and prosperity of politics and economy. On the contrary, the poetic style of Qi and Liang continued to dominate the poetic world with the power of emperors. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the development of Tang poetry reached the peak of prosperity. Romantic poetic style full of vigorous spirit is the mainstream of poetry in this period. However, the literature in the middle and late Tang Dynasty developed in many aspects, except that the poetic style and genre were more complex and diverse, the ancient prose movement won in this period, and the legendary novels also developed into its heyday.
During this period, a large number of outstanding poets emerged. Li Bai, a great poet, has progressive ideals and great ambitions. However, he lived in an era when the ruling class began to corrupt and various social contradictions gradually emerged in the Tang Dynasty, and his ideal could not be realized. Du is a great realistic poet who lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. During the Tianbao period, he paid close attention to various social contradictions and exposed the dark reality of the arrogance, arrogance and belligerence of the ruling class and the opposition between the rich and the poor.
On the one hand, this unprecedented all-round prosperity of literature is the result of the continuous development and reform of literature itself, but it is more fundamentally determined by the social foundation and historical conditions of literary development. This paper will discuss in detail the influence of political and economic development in Tang Dynasty on literature.
