Features: The development of classical Chinese poetry reached its complete maturity in the Tang Dynasty. The numerous writers, abundant works, diverse genres, and varied styles and schools of thought; the social life it reflected, the depth and breadth it achieved in thought and art—all in terms of the sum of its achievements, it truly carried forward and glorified the fine traditions of poetry since the Book of Songs and Chuci, surpassing any previous era. Organizing and introducing the results of previous research on Tang poetry in a selective manner, thereby facilitating critical reception by a broad readership, is a work of great significance. This book accomplishes exactly that.
