The prosperous Tang Dynasty is the peak of poetry prosperity. During this period, besides Li Bai and Du Fu, there were many accomplished poets. They can be roughly divided into two categories:
One is an idyllic poet represented by Meng Haoran and Wang Wei;
The other is frontier poets, among whom Gao Shi and Cen Can have the highest achievements, and Wang Changling, Li Qi and Wang Zhihuan are also outstanding frontier poets.
Wang Changling's frontier poems mostly express the soldiers' homesickness with the ancient theme of Yuefu. His "Joining the Army" and "Going to the Frontier" have always been regarded as the representative works of frontier poems. Li Qi's frontier poems are few in number, but he has made outstanding achievements. A poem "Ancient Meaning" and "An Ancient Warsong" are his representative works.
Wang Zhihuan is an old frontier poet. One "Liangzhou Ci" expresses the homesickness of the expedition, and the other "In the Lodge of the Heron" is lofty and enlightening. Poetry in the middle Tang Dynasty is the continuation of poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The works of this period mainly describe social unrest and people's suffering.
