Why did the Tang Dynasty produce so many poets?

The Tang Dynasty was the period with the largest territory and the strongest national strength in history. Social stability, economic development and prosperity of cultural life. Why are there so many poets in this period?

The first is a good political and economic environment. The developed economy laid a solid material foundation for the prosperity of Tang poetry. That is, if people still don't have enough to eat and their heads may move at any time, then I'm afraid it's not a good time for poetry. The Tang Dynasty was rich and powerful, before Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan and after Xuanzong's Kaiyuan. Du: "Rice is fat and white, and public and private warehouses are rich." In such an era of national peace and security, it is natural for poets to appear.

The second is the result of cultural education. Poets in the early Tang Dynasty were aggressive and energetic. They are no longer obsessed with glitz and exquisiteness, but begin to love nature and humanity. They are healthy and energetic, and have the determination to serve the motherland and their homes. Even in adversity, they are still full of hope and never lose heart. These are inseparable from the culture and education of the Tang Dynasty.

Thirdly, there are many groups of folk poetry, and poetry creation has reached its climax. Temple poems, secluded poems, Zhao Ti poems and Lan Ruo poems in the Tang Dynasty occupy a considerable proportion, which constitutes an important phenomenon in the creation of Tang poems.

The emergence of such themes in Tang poetry is the result of the prosperity of Buddhism and the development of Buddhist temple culture in Tang Dynasty. The unique landscape and artificial landscape of Buddhist temples provide poetic thinking and creative materials for poets; When poets travel alone or in groups, as the need of expression and communication, they write poems on the temple wall to stimulate the poet's creative interest.

The push of the fourth ruler. The personal hobbies and advocacy of rulers help the whole society pay attention to the formation of poetic atmosphere. Monarchs in the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to poetry, and all of them were capable of poetry.

Emperor Taizong successively opened a literature museum and a Hong Wen museum, recruited a bachelor, compiled documents, and sang and chanted with them. Gaozong and Huang Wu often create their own new words for fun. Xuanzong himself was a poet. He told himself that every time he wrote a poem, he "liked to forget his worries". Seventy-two bachelor of arts, literati poetry. Huang Wu held a banquet for his ministers. Song wrote the best poems and was awarded a royal robe. The emperor's hobbies and advocacy improved the poet's reputation and helped to form an atmosphere in which the whole society attached importance to poetry.

I am familiar with 300 Tang poems, but I can't write poems but recite them. A literary form can be popular or even handed down, including everyone's efforts and the participation of ordinary people, including poets.
