What is the origin of the so-called Tang poetry and Song poetry?

The Origin of Tang Poetry The Tang Dynasty (AD 6 18-907) was the heyday of the development of classical poetry in China. Tang poetry is one of China's outstanding literary heritages and a bright pearl in the world literature treasure house. Although it has been over 1000 years, many poems have been widely circulated by us. There were many poets in the Tang Dynasty. Li Bai, Du Fu and Bai Juyi are of course world-famous great poets. Besides them, there are countless other poets, like the stars all over the sky. There are more than 2300 famous poets today. More than 48,900 of their works are preserved in the whole Tang poetry. Tang poetry has a wide range of themes. Some of them reflected the class status and class contradictions of the society at that time and exposed the darkness of feudal society; Some praise the just war and express patriotic thoughts; Some depict the beauty of the motherland's rivers and mountains; In addition, some people express their personal ambitions and experiences, some express their children's love, some tell the friendship of friends, the joys and sorrows of life and so on. In short, natural phenomena, political dynamics, working life, social customs and personal feelings can't escape the poet's keen eyes, making their writing the theme. In terms of creative methods, there are both realism and romanticism, and many great works are examples of the combination of these two creative methods, forming an excellent tradition of China's classical poetry. There are various forms of Tang poetry. There are basically two kinds of ancient poems in Tang Dynasty: five-character poems and seven-character poems. There are also two kinds of modern poems, one is called quatrains, and the other is called metrical poems. Quatrains and metrical poems are five words and seven words respectively. Therefore, there are basically six basic forms of Tang poetry: five-character archaic poetry, seven-character archaic poetry, five-character quatrains, seven-character quatrains, five-character rhythmic poems and seven-character rhythmic poems. Classical poetry has a wide range of requirements for rhyme and meter: in a poem, the number of sentences can be more or less, the chapters can be long or short, and the rhyme can be changed. Modern poetry has strict requirements on rhyme and meter: the number of sentences in a poem is limited, that is, four-line quatrains and eight-line meter poems. The words used in each poem have certain rules, and the rhyme cannot be changed; Rhyme also requires that the middle four sentences become antithesis. The style of ancient poetry is handed down from the previous generation, so it is also called ancient style. Modern poetry has strict rules, so some people call it metrical poetry. The forms and styles of Tang poetry are colorful and innovative. It not only inherited the tradition of Han and Wei folk songs and Yuefu, but also greatly developed the singing style. It not only inherited the five-character or seven-character ancient poems of the previous generation, but also developed into a long and huge system of narrative romance; It not only expanded the use of five-character and seven-character styles, but also created modern poems with particularly beautiful and neat styles. Modern poetry was a new style of poetry at that time, and its emergence and maturity was an important event in the history of Tang poetry development. It pushed the artistic features of China's ancient poems with harmonious syllables and refined words to an unprecedented height, and found a typical form for ancient lyric poetry, which has been especially loved by people so far. However, the metrical poems in modern poetry are easy to be bound because of their strict metrical restrictions, which is a major defect brought by their advantages. The origin of Song Ci is a kind of music literature, and its emergence, development, creation and dissemination are directly related to music. Music related to words is the so-called Yan music, also called feast music. Its main component is a new type of music, which is a kind of music that combines the western region and the folk music since the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Sui Dynasty. Mainly used for entertainment and banquet performances, it became popular in Sui Dynasty. The origin of Le Yan characters can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty. Wang Zhuo, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote in Volume I of Biji Manzhi: "Since Gai's birthday, the so-called composers have gradually flourished and reached the Tang Dynasty." Ci was mainly popular among the people at first, and more than 60 works of/kloc-0 in Dunhuang Quzi Ci Collection were mostly folk songs from the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty. Around the middle Tang Dynasty, poets such as Zhang, Wei, Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi began to create ci, and introduced this style into the literary world. In the late Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties, literati ci developed greatly. The humanities in the late Tang Dynasty, as well as the creation of Huajianji, a poet represented by him, and Southern Tang poets, represented by Li Yu and Li Yu, all made important contributions to the maturity of ci style and the establishment of basic lyric style. Ci finally became one of the most important literary genres in ancient China. In the Song Dynasty, the creation of ci gradually became a grand view, and a large number of outstanding ci writers appeared, and famous works emerged one after another, and various styles and schools appeared one after another. The Ci of the whole Song Dynasty contains more than 1330 words and nearly 20,000 words. From this figure, we can infer the grand occasion of creation at that time. Although the origin of Ci is early, the peak of its development is in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, later generations regarded Ci as the most representative literature in the Song Dynasty, juxtaposed with Tang poetry, and came up with the so-called "Tang poetry and Song poetry". = = In the early days of ci, it was very flashy and popular in ordinary restaurants. For example, Liu Yong offended the emperor at that time because he wrote "and changed his name to shallow singing", and he was depressed and frustrated. He wandered between karaoke bars and brothels all his life, writing lyrics for geisha. As the saying goes, "Where there is well water to drink, there must be Liu Ci", so that a prime minister in the Song Dynasty (whose name I can't remember) refused to admit that he had written all the words he had done before. As we all know, there were many prostitutes in the Song Dynasty, and their level was rare in other dynasties. Together with the scholar-officials of the Song Dynasty, they constituted the hedonism of the Song Dynasty, a vanity culture. If a dynasty or a country is strong, then it pays equal attention to both literature and quality. Here, the article refers to the style of writing or the atmosphere of a society as we know it. Then we must be divorced from productive labor and cannot fight. After the establishment of "cultivating scholars" and "stereotyped writing" in the Song Dynasty, scholars all over the world came to drill this thing to earn fame and fortune to support themselves, and they had no time to think about things and rebel. If a country's "style of writing" is more prosperous and fewer people do practical things, the country will have problems. Many people have written poems in the past dynasties. Even if the Tang poetry eulogizes the love affair, it also has a simple beauty, revealing the simplicity, roughness and magnificence of this nation, while the Song poetry is more pretentious and grandiose. If a country's culture promotes the development of this country, then it is strong and vital. For example, in the United States now, if the pro-Qin policy was adopted in the Han Dynasty, it would be a way to slow down the troops and cultivate interest, but in the Song Dynasty, I didn't see it. If the Japanese destroy China, then comfort women can be regarded as pioneers of national reconciliation, hehe. In evolution and history, there are never "ifs" and "hypotheses", only cruel realities. Hehe, the Song Dynasty was wiped out by barbarians, which was the result. The degradation of the personality of the literati group began to show signs from this helpful society.
