Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism coexist, and a series of policies and measures such as selecting scholars by poetry have been implemented, which has created a good social environment for the prosperity of Tang poetry. Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor played a positive role in promoting the development of Tang poetry because of his special position, strong appeal and his own literary and artistic accomplishment: the emperor's personal practice played a guiding role in the creation of Tang poetry, organized poetry clubs to promote the creation of Tang poetry, and attached importance to the inspiration of the poet Corporal Li Xian.
Secondly, the rapid economic development in the Tang Dynasty laid a material foundation for the prosperity of Tang poetry. Historically, the Tang Dynasty was a great power era in China, and it was a peak of the development of feudal society. It is precisely because of such a prosperous economy that the necessary material conditions for the development of art and other things in the Tang Dynasty were created. Imagine that if people don't have enough to eat and their heads are in danger of moving at any time, I'm afraid it's not a good time for poetry. In the Tang Dynasty, the country enriched the people and strengthened the country. Before Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan and after Xuanzong's Kaiyuan, the society almost reached the point of ancient harmony. In such an era when the country is prosperous and the people are safe, poetry and fu in the Tang Dynasty have indeed found fertile ground for vigorous development. But economy is not the absolute factor in the development of Tang poetry. In the less stable late Tang Dynasty, after the Anshi Rebellion, the economy was not as prosperous as before, but the Tang poetry was further prosperous. This shows that the economy has a certain role in promoting, but it is not an absolute role.
In addition, cultural changes and the historical evolution of poetry itself are also one of the indispensable conditions for the prosperity of Tang poetry. The Tang Dynasty has its unique cultural background. First, from the Tang Dynasty to the palace secrets, everything can be included in the poem, and the content is one hundred times richer than that of the previous dynasty. Metrology is more mature and complete, realism and romanticism coexist, and a variety of poetic styles are born. It is precisely because of the rich cultural background that Tang poetry has brought colorful play to the world. Second, the poets in the Tang Dynasty were not limited to princes and princes. The authors of all Tang poems compiled in Qing Dynasty include "common people, peddlers, pawns, monks and nuns, child molesters, fishermen, woodcutters, magic stick artists and even beggars". In addition, the Tang Dynasty was a very free and open society, which provided an opportunity for the unprecedented development and prosperity of Tang literature. In this cultural atmosphere, the vigorous development of Tang poetry is completely understandable and an inevitable trend.
The historical evolution of poetry should start from the Zhou Dynasty. Four-character poems appeared in the early Zhou Dynasty, flourished in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and declined in Qin and Han Dynasties. Five-character poetry was created in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was very popular in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, seven-character ancient poems and new-style poems were only formed in the Six Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, with the changes of economy, politics and science and technology system, the poet was able to show his talents and complete the unfinished life of poetry itself. At that time, the fusion of ci and fu had been rigid for a long time, and the new style had not yet emerged, which brought more creative space for literati to concentrate on poetry, thus achieving the glory of poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Of course, the relatively poor historical accumulation laid a good foundation for the rule of Tang poetry. Before the Tang Dynasty, although there were songs of The Book of Songs and the style of Chen Gongliang, there was no peak to look up to. Being able to paint with a blank sheet of paper, freely and naturally, was even more unscrupulous in the Tang Dynasty. Finally, the opening up of the Tang Dynasty, especially the emphasis on cultural exchanges. National unity, economic development, convenient transportation and other factors have led to the integration of Chinese and foreign cultures and North-South cultures. The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and all ethnic groups was more harmonious, and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries were more active than in the past. In the description of some Tang poems, those exotic and national elements have become indispensable materials for their creation. The development of various arts has greatly promoted the development of literature. The cultural exchange between the North and the South is manifested in the organic unity of the delicate style of the South and the rough style of the North, forming colorful styles and numerous schools. Cultural exchange, from a deeper level, is the perfect collision between the essence of the whole literary history of the Tang Dynasty and foreign objects.
