Sui and Tang Dynasties were the peak times of poetry, the feudal dynasty developed in a magnificent atmosphere and the country prospered. However, five-character poems rose from the end of the Han Dynasty, and after the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, their forms were improved day by day, their themes were constantly broadened, and their artistic techniques were renovated. Finally, in the Tang Dynasty, it reached the most mature and perfect period, and all the metrical requirements of metrical poetry were put forward in form, which was not lax compared with before and most in line with the artistic laws of American literature. In the realm, the image is exquisite, the content is all-encompassing, the style is graceful and generous, and the words are beautiful and catchy.
By the late Tang Dynasty, the art form of poetry had declined, and poets pursued extraordinary difficulties and dangers. Although they wrote a model for later generations, all kinds of expressions of poetry were excavated to the extent that the Song Dynasty could not continue. In the Song Dynasty, the scholar-officials were rich and idle, and the court provided them with a comfortable life, which made them like to write lyrics among women who were singing and dancing. Song dynasty has always been a small and weak court, and poetry is not graceful and restrained in Tang dynasty. However, the country is troubled, and the literati are more generous and sad, especially the uninhibited ci school, which has written a lot of heroism.
In the Yuan Dynasty, there was no scholar-bureaucrat status. Mongolian rulers do not attach importance to literati. They have no choice but to indulge in the market, so they are all dramatists and composers. However, in the Yuan Dynasty, due to corruption of officials, fraud by profiteers, all kinds of darkness and injustice, and people's homesickness, many drama stories were rearranged by later generations and translated into various masterpieces in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
