Notes on Wen Yiduo's comments on Tang poetry

Wen Yiduo's reading notes on Tang poetry are as follows:

1, Wen Yiduo, an outstanding scholar, has in-depth research on Tang poetry. For me, his Miscellaneous Comments on Tang Poetry is not only a rich academic heritage, but also a spiritual exploration. Through this book, I can get a glimpse of the prosperity and types of Tang poetry, as well as the deep feelings and subtle skills contained in it.

2. In the book, Wen Yiduo made an in-depth discussion on palace poems. Palace-style poems, centering on the court, describe the court life and feelings in the court. In the early Tang Dynasty, this kind of poems still continued the style of Emperor Liang Jianwen when he was a prince, and still showed boneless and unintentional palace poems. However, with the passage of time, Tang Taizong's poetry began to show a new style.

3. Emperor Taizong, an ambitious emperor, his poems are full of lofty sentiments and ambitions. He pursues reality, attaches importance to literature and algae, and has extremely high requirements for poetry. However, although he has many poems, in my opinion, his poems are not beyond the scope of palace poems. His poems are still about the imperial court, about the deeds and feelings of emperors, but his poems are more vigorous and imposing.

The origin of Tang poetry

1, the influence of traditional culture: During the Tang Dynasty, the traditional culture of China had developed to a higher level. Before the Tang Dynasty, China had a complete poetic tradition, such as The Book of Songs and Songs of the South. These traditional poems have had an important influence on the development of Tang poetry, which has formed its own unique style and characteristics on the basis of inheriting and carrying forward these traditional poems.

2. Reflect the social reality: the social reality in the Tang Dynasty had an important impact on poetry creation. Social changes and political struggles in the Tang Dynasty, as well as people's thoughts and feelings about life, have all become the material for poetry creation. The works of famous poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu profoundly reflected the social reality and people's living conditions at that time.

3. Expression of personal feelings: Another important source of Tang poetry is the expression of personal feelings. In the Tang Dynasty, people expressed their feelings more and more openly and freely, which made poetry an important way for people to express their inner feelings. For example, Li Qingzhao's "A Dream" and other works express her feelings and thoughts about life.
