The Tang Dynasty was a rare dynasty in ancient China with enlightened politics and prosperous society. The people are rich and the society is prosperous. It can be seen that during the Zhenguan period, it cost three or four dollars. All these provided a good soil for the development of literature and art. During this period, a large number of literary masters appeared, such as Du Li, Four Masters in the Early Tang Dynasty, Chao Heng (a student studying in Japan) and so on.
Apart from the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was also the heyday of China's poetry development.
