1. It is no accident that poets in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Some people say that when it comes to ancient poets, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tang and Song Dynasties, and this is because in these two dynasties, both the quality and the scale of poetry works can't be surpassed by predecessors and future generations. The reason why this happened was related to the political background and management policies at that time.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, writing poems became a common practice, and both dignitaries and poor people had the habit of writing poems. According to statistics, there were14,000 poets in these two dynasties, which were quite large in scale. The main reasons are the loose management of poetry by leaders, the implementation of imperial examination system and the role of superiors and subordinates.
Second, why were there more poets in the Tang and Song Dynasties than in other dynasties? Compared with other dynasties, the poems in Tang and Song Dynasties are higher in quantity and quality, and there are more poets. The reason is related to the development trend of literature and art and the political background of the country. For example, before the Tang and Song Dynasties, the country was in a turbulent political environment, and few people could receive education. Most people who can write works are dignitaries, and ordinary people can't participate.
During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the country was relatively stable, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, more people received formal education, and the social foundation of poetry creation was broader, which would naturally be more than that of the previous generation. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, the country fell into the rule of ethnic minorities many times. In order to consolidate their rule, these people flourished? Literary inquisition? , will inevitably hit the poet's enthusiasm for poetry. In addition, foreign invasion, cultural blending, and more and more literary forms? Take? Coming out will inevitably affect the dominant position of poetry.
In addition, from the development trend of literature, Tang and Song Dynasties are the most suitable period for poetry creation. In the past, it was mainly poetry, and later it was mainly novel scripts. The number and scale of natural creation are different with different dominant positions. Therefore, in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the appearance of poets was inevitable, not accidental at most.
