Features: The Tang Poems, Song Lyrics, and Yuan Qu is a monumental work of ancient Chinese literature. As we wander through this realm of poetry, sighing over the homesickness evoked by "Moonlight Before My Bed," expressing the grandeur of "The Great River Flows East," and lamenting the desolation of "Ancient Vines and Old Trees," we are inevitably filled with countless reflections like "Pouring Wine and Asking the Blue Sky." In the face of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, we are utterly intoxicated. Tang poetry is the highest mark of Tang literature, marking a new era in the development of Chinese poetry. Song lyrics originated in the Southern Ming period and took shape during the Tang Dynasty; the Song Dynasty was the peak period for the development of lyrics. Yuan qu, often referred to as Northern qu, flourished in the northern regions and was known as clear qu. Compared to poetry and lyrics, its form is more flexible and can fully express emotions and thoughts.
