The development law of poetry itself
Everything has its origin, development and peak, and the development of poetry in past dynasties laid the foundation of poetry in Tang Dynasty. With the establishment of the Han Dynasty, various national cultures began to merge. The four-character poems in the Central Plains established in past dynasties began to be accompanied by music, but the four-character poems could not perfectly cooperate with Le Hu's music, so seven-character poems appeared.
During this period, the cultural development of poetry entered a slow period, from the Book of Songs to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, nearly a thousand years. The mainstream of China's ancient poetry has not changed. In addition, elegant and vulgar things such as poems and songs are mostly circulated among rulers, and they are also fond of upper-class literati. It was not until the appearance of Cao Zhi that China's poetry turned into a turning point. This talented man wrote a lot of poems, which made people at that time find that poetry can actually be independent of music.
Later, Cao Zhi was not interested in the struggle for political power, and began to devote himself to the study of poetry, and he discovered the even and flat meter. Just like rhyme now, poetry can be separated from music and become an independent individual. Through the pronunciation of the words themselves, poems can also be recited separately, forming a kind of law of their own.
After that, it completely ushered in the prosperity of poetry culture in the Tang Dynasty. The appearance of even and flat meter makes poetry popular, and poetry is no longer something played by the upper class. Ordinary people can easily step into the threshold of poetry, and poets all over the world have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. It is also a large number of poets with the appearance of poets and saints. Without this huge base, there would be no peak of Tang poetry. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as the law of the natural development of poetry. At this time, the previous accumulation made the outbreak of poetry in Tang Dynasty.
Times and social factors
Distortion of writing style
Palace-style poems in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, although exquisitely written and luxuriously read, are very empty and have no substantive connotation. Coupled with the war in the late Northern and Southern Dynasties, the whole society was decadent, and those literary and artistic works were not only used for appreciation, but also for expressing complaints to those decadent young people.
In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, everything was in ruins. In the early Tang Dynasty, four outstanding intellectuals in Chen Ziang began to pour out their opinions, and a hundred schools of thought contended in literature. It is with this group that poetry has been dragged back from hedonists and decadent schools and given new connotations. Natalie Tong recited everything in the world, national politics and high spirits. Tang's positive attitude also inspired every poet, and every poet made efforts for the prosperity of Tang poetry.
Political enlightenment
The politics of the Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly prosperous and open, and the establishment of the imperial examination system made it possible for disciples from all over the world to become officials in the DPRK. It is through this system that many people began to change their hopeless ideas about reading, and more and more people embarked on the road of reading, which also laid the foundation for the prosperity of Tang poetry and made civilization progress. Especially in the period of Wu Zetian, in order to abolish the former ministers and cultivate their own power, the imperial examination system was greatly reformed and became a paradise for scholars all over the world. With the support of the government, they freely wrote and expressed their thoughts, which made Tang poetry reach its peak.
In addition, it is precisely because of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty that those literati can pursue literature at will. Think about it, if it is a poor or war-torn dynasty, how can those poets have extra thoughts to write poems when they even have problems with their survival?
distracting thoughts
Needless to say, because of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the opening of the economic system, the cultures of various countries gathered in the Tang Dynasty, the politics were enlightened, the court was confident, the people were cheerful, and the cultures of various regions collided, which made the poems of the Tang Dynasty present various charms.
