Secondly, under the restraint of the "curfew" system in the Tang Dynasty, the so-called curfew means stopping all commercial activities at night and forbidding anyone to go to the streets, which greatly restricted the development of the commodity economy and the development of the citizen class in the Tang Dynasty.

Cultural Introduction of Song Dynasty
The literature in Song Dynasty was developed, and great achievements were made in grasping poetry and prose. Ouyang Xiu was a master who prospered the prose in Song Dynasty and initiated the ancient prose movement. Ouyang Xiu's prose is clear in theme, rich in content and natural, which laid the style of prose in Song Dynasty. During the three dynasties of the Soviet Union, Su Xun's articles were good at discussing, and his style was magnificent and simple.
Su Shi's articles are free and easy, fresh and bold, with a little melancholy. His unshakable position in the literary world is confirmed by articles such as Fu on the Red Wall. His disciples are also quite promising. Together with Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan, Chao, they are called "Six Gentlemen of Su Men".
During the Southern Song Dynasty, Su Shi's prose even became a model essay for the imperial examination. At that time, people said: "Su Wen is ripe and eats mutton; Su Wensheng, eat vegetable soup. " Su Zhe's article, on the other hand, was ignored in narration and was discussed for a longer time. Ceng Gong faithfully followed Ouyang Xiu's style, focusing on narrative and argumentative writing. The style of writing is natural and simple, with little rhetoric.
Wang Anshi is also good at argumentative writing, and his style is vigorous and natural. However, after Du Nan, the prose in Song Dynasty began to decline, and the subsequent literati could not be compared with the Northern Song Dynasty and the Six Dynasties. "Yang Wanli's poems are fresh and lively, focusing on natural scenery; Fan Chengda's poetry pays attention to people's livelihood, and its style is beautiful and graceful. Lu You's poems are famous for patriotism. His poems are neat and tidy, and later generations say "good confrontation is exhausted."
Although Song poetry is not as good as Tang poetry, it is far superior to Ming and Qing dynasties. The Complete Works of Song Poetry, which is being compiled, contains more than160,000 Song poems. Like prose, Ouyang Xiu initiated the poetic style of the Song Dynasty, and he wrote the first poem in the history of China's poetry. Wang Anshi pays more attention to rhetorical skills and allusions than Ouyang Xiu.
