First of all, "the weather in the prosperous Tang Dynasty" was the product of the specific social and historical conditions in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. More than forty years from Kaiyuan to Tianbao were the heyday of the feudal society in Tang Dynasty and China. After Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, a series of effective reforms were carried out, which made the whole country show unprecedented prosperity rapidly.
On the basis of the material wealth created by the working people since Zhenguan, the social and economic development, strong national strength, stable people's lives and relatively enlightened politics in the early Tang Dynasty. In addition, Xuanzong reformed the imperial examination system and advocated the selection of scholars by poetry and fu, which provided greater convenience for the intellectuals of the cloth landlord class to board the political stage.
Secondly, the "flourishing age" is closely related to the ideological emancipation of poets in the Tang Dynasty. Due to the expansion of the territory of the Tang Empire, foreign exchanges, domestic unity and stability, and the relatively enlightened ideological and cultural policies pursued by the rulers of the Tang Dynasty, there was an unprecedented great exchange and integration of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign ideas in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, showing the coexistence and free development of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, chivalry, vertical and horizontal, yin and yang, and seclusion.
Thirdly, the appearance of "the weather in the prosperous Tang Dynasty" is also due to the inheritance of literature. Du Fu discussed two extremely important issues in literary inheritance in the sixth poem of Six Dramas, one is "don't judge the false style", and the other is "learn from many teachers". If we compare the attitudes of poets in the early Tang Dynasty and those in the prosperous Tang Dynasty towards literary heritage, it is not difficult to find that the poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty are much more mature than those in the early Tang Dynasty on the issue of "multi-division of interests".
Style and characteristics
Poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty is rich and colorful, harmonious and unified. What are its main features? Scholars of past dynasties have made various generalizations, and they often have their own achievements. For example, some people regard "both temperament and personality" as the meteorological characteristics of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty really embodies the perfect combination of the two. However, it can be regarded as a sign that poetry has matured and reached a very high artistic level after Jian 'an and Qi Liang, but it may not be the most accurate as a summary of the poetic style of an era. Based on various factors, it seems that Yan Yu's Answering a Letter to Lin 'an, Following Uncle is more accurate to say that "big Tang poems are like strict books, with vigorous brushwork and vigorous weather".
