Features: China has long been proud of its poetic heritage. In the thousands of years of Chinese poetry history, the Tang Dynasty achieved the highest achievements and had the most poets. During the 300 years of the Tang Dynasty, over 2,000 poets were recorded in history, among whom more than 100 had a significant impact on later generations. Tang poetry covers a wide range of themes. From the universe and life to travel and banquets, from the well-being of the people and national finances to frontier conflicts, from spring flowers and autumn moon to mountain clouds and frontier grasses, and even birds, animals, insects, and fish—all can be the subject of poetry. The style of Tang poetry is diverse and colorful. Li Bai's elegance, Du Fu's melancholy, Meng Haoran's refinement, Wang Wei's severity, and the heroic and tragic works of Gao Shi and Ling Can are too numerous to list. Poetry is a language art.
