1, early Tang poetry. Poetry in the early Tang Dynasty was still in the afterglow of Sui Chen's period. The poems of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong and the literati around him are gorgeous and soft. Shangguan Tiqi was wrong and charming. Only a few people, such as Wei Zhi, Wang Ji and Wang Fanzhi, can get rid of this custom. It was not until the four outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty that the content and form of poetry were developed.
2. Poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. On the basis of "Shen" and "Song", the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty further combined the correct direction with the perfect form. From Kaiyuan of Xuanzong to Tianbao, poetry flourished in an all-round way, and a large number of famous artists appeared. Their works are exquisite and beautiful, vigorous and fresh, with fantastic images and harmonious rhythm, showing the artistic characteristics of the times. Frontier poems and pastoral poems occupy a large proportion in the poems of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
3. Poetry in the Middle Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the middle Tang Dynasty, the country declined, and the poetry circle was also depressed. The works of Liu Changqing and Wang Wei, ten talented poets in Dali, are exquisite and elegant, but their contents are superficial. Lu Lun and Li Yi have some desolate frontier poems with bold artistic conception. The most outstanding figure in this issue is Wei, whose pastoral poems are elegant and free, while his Yuefu songs are satirized in aestheticism.
4. Late Tang poetry. The poetic style of the late Tang and Five Dynasties became more and more delicate. Although there have been writers and works with great influence in the history of literature, they generally lack the broad spirit and muddy realm in the middle of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Outstanding poets Li Shangyin and Du Mu made unique contributions to the art of poetry.

Formal style of Tang poetry
There are various forms of Tang poetry. There are mainly five-character poems and seven-character poems in Tang Dynasty. 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.
