Scholars joined the army mainly to serve the country and pursue fame and fortune. Some people may ask: Isn't it as famous as the Imperial Examination? The imperial examination provided a way for the ancient people, but after all, it was an "ancient college entrance examination", and thousands of troops crossed the wooden bridge. In the Tang society, there were many talents and fierce competition. Therefore, in the minds of some ambitious and self-respecting poets, the fame and fortune gained on the battlefield may sometimes be more direct than the imperial examination.
In addition, during the prosperous period of the early Tang Dynasty, the national strength was strong and Tang Jun's power was unparalleled. The frontier often plays victory songs, which further stimulates the enthusiasm of literati to join the army. They also hope to do something for the country, make some contributions to the country's opening up new fields, and start their own businesses.
In addition, the frontier poets in the early Tang Dynasty have a great feature: their descriptions of the battlefield are either personal experiences, personal experiences or war documents that important officials of the imperial court often contact. For example, in July, Yu Shinan and Dou Wei wrote well-known frontier poems. All three of them are important officials of the imperial court and have long known everything about the imperial war.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, frontier poems in this period had a strong "martial" plot. The Tang Dynasty is one of the most brilliant dynasties in the ancient history of China, and it is also the period when the development of poetry culture reached its peak. During this period, the country was in a relatively stable state, and the basic livelihood of ordinary people was also guaranteed. Therefore, the culture has developed very well, and many excellent poets have appeared. When these sentimental poets see the magnificent scenery in the border, they will think of the prosperity of the country. They will be very proud and eventually write magnificent frontier poems.
