Du Fu's "Two Ways" begins with a group of aristocratic women playing by the water, and their costumes are extremely luxurious:
On March 3rd, Spring Festival, the weather was fresh, and many beautiful people gathered in Qujiang, Chang 'an.
Dignified attitude, lofty and quiet personality, plump skin, thin and moderate figure.
Embroidered gold and silver silk unicorn in late spring.
Jade flowers hanging from their temples hang on their temples.
The jewelry skirt behind them is safer.
Silk and satin flow in the spring breeze, decorated with peacocks embroidered with gold thread and Kirin carved with silver thread; The head is decorated with jade carvings, and the back waist is a belt made of jewelry. These luxuries show that the state treasury is sufficient and the handicraft industry is highly developed. The fashion of Datang has been extravagant.
Second, food consumption is abundant.
Whether it is Li Bai's "lanling wine tulip, jade bowl with amber light." Or Du Fu's "Recalling the heyday of Kaiyuan in that year, there were still thousands of small towns." Rice is fat and white, and public and private warehouses are rich. "
The jade bowl is full of tulip-like wine, and the abundant grain will overflow the granary, all of which reveal that the food reserve in the Tang Dynasty is sufficient, and the people take food as the basis and the country takes food as the key link. In the feudal society with the theme of small-scale peasant economy, the Tang Dynasty not only chose and saved food, but even became rich enough to consider the level of food for a long time, thus forming a food fashion.
Third, the exquisiteness of housing construction.
In the Tang Dynasty, architecture developed into a mature period. Wang Wei once wrote a poem "Early Audience with Guanggong, and Poem by Minister Jia Zhi". In the poem, "The nine gates of heaven are exposed to the palace, and the world wears a crown." It depicts the scene of the early dynasty. Hundreds of officials walked into the magnificent palace at dawn and kowtowed to the crowned emperor with the envoys of various countries, showing prosperity.
Rizhao Jincheng Tou, morning flowers scattered.
Gold window embroidered door, silver hook hanging bead foil.
I'm worried about my eyes on the ladder of green clouds and clouds.
Li Bai's poem "Golden City Scattered Flowers Building" is really gaudy, with golden windows, beaded foil and flying stairs, which finely describes the proficiency of architectural decoration art at that time.
Look at Du Mu's Baidu Huaqing Palace. "Chang' an looks back at the embroidered pile, and the top of the mountain opens a thousand times. "It's about people looking back at Mount Li in Chang 'an, just like piles of splendid scenery. On the top of the mountain, thousands of doors of Huaqing Palace opened in turn. It can be seen that the construction cost of the Tang Dynasty is sufficient, and the palaces on the distant mountains are also unambiguously renovated.
