Scholars mainly focus on poetry and fu, which is hard to reach, but it is easy to be promoted because of its wide occupation, especially for scholars. "Although the gentry is a very important person, it is not good to be a scholar." Most of the poems that should be written in the imperial examination are embellished and carved. However, the imperial examination system of selecting poets has stimulated people's anger, and putting most of their energy into poetry creation is conducive to the continuous improvement of poetry art forms and the wide spread of creative experience. The word "imperial examination" has the meaning of dividing subjects and promoting talents. Scientific research in the Tang Dynasty includes general subjects and general subjects, and general subjects, especially Jinshi subjects, have an impact on literature. Literati in the Tang Dynasty paid special attention to literary characters, and poetry and fu can best show their literary talent. Under normal circumstances, the quality of poetry fu actually plays an important role in the rejection of scholars. If poetry is outstanding, it is easy to be praised and accepted by the company. Although there is a certain formula for Jinshi to try poetry, such as Tang Wenzong's letter to Gao Kai, assistant minister of does, in the autumn of the first year of Kaesong, "the trial poetry shall prevail; Poetry is based on Qi Liang's physique. " This has bound the author of the trial poem, and therefore affected his usual practice of preparing for the test poem, which has caused some adverse effects. However, since poetry has become a very effective stepping stone to the imperial examination, ordinary scholars can only hope to knock on the door to the official entrance if they are good at poetry, which will inevitably force them to pay more attention to poetry and stress the art of poetry, and at the same time encourage more people to care about and create poetry. When they study and chant in daily life, in order to seek poetic materials and inspiration, they must pay attention to observing life and social nature, from which they often produce excellent poems.
The imperial examination system promoted the style of writing in the Tang Dynasty.
The imperial examination papers in the Tang Dynasty did not implement the system of affixing names and honours, which gave the examiner the freedom to admit people without writing. In addition to reading the examination papers, the admission of Jinshi should also refer to the daily works and word of mouth of candidates. Therefore, candidates must present their daily masterpieces to "first come, first served" people, especially those who decide to register, and strive for their praise and recommendation. This behavior is called "writing a paper". The essence works produced directly from the imperial examination should be attributed to the "style of writing" of the literati in the Tang Dynasty. The author expresses his familiar life in his works, basically expresses his true feelings, and freely expounds social, political and aesthetic thoughts by using his own genre. The work of "writing papers" not only gives full play to candidates' specialties in the field of literature, improves their creative level, but also produces some excellent works that will be handed down to future generations. For example, Bai Juyi's Biegu Cao, Li He's Wild Goose Gate and Zhu Qingyu's Boudoir Sacrifice to Zhang Shui Department. The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty and the ethos of "writing papers" promoted the development and prosperity of literature in the Tang Dynasty.
The imperial examination system promoted the prevalence of novels in the Tang Dynasty.
The influence of the imperial examination in Tang Dynasty on novels was not direct, but realized through the friends and gatherings of imperial examination scholars. That is to say, "strong travel" and "idleness" are often mentioned in the poems of imperial scholars. At the same time, people from all over the country gathered in Chang 'an for thousands of miles to form a small group of literati with * * *. After the Jinshi came out of the list, he had to take part in a series of sacrificial activities, thank his master and meet the Prime Minister, so there were "Qujiang Club" and "Apricot Garden Banquet". After the imperial examination, it is bound to be an official in a different place, or even promoted or demoted. At the same time, the literati in the Tang Dynasty were curious and accumulated a large number of stories and anecdotes from all over the country during their travels, either personally or told by others. So the content of poetry, wine, songs and banquets is naturally inseparable from these stories and anecdotes. Some people at the party suggested that these anecdotes be written into words, so they became note novels or legendary novels. Many novels are produced in this kind of social gathering.
