Features: This book discusses the influence of the spirit of the times on frontier poets. The spirit of the times includes three aspects: the spirit of enterprising, the spirit of martial prowess, and the spirit of the wandering knight. The spirit of the times has had a significant impact on the strong sense of achievement and the bold actions of frontier poets in going to the frontier. Tang Dynasty frontier poetry has strong regional characteristics, and the historical events, the poet's travels, and the landscapes it reflects are all closely linked to regional culture. Frontier poetry of different periods has different characteristics, and its cultural environment also has considerable differences. The development of frontier poetry reflects the changes in social history and social psychology. The high-spirited and vigorous frontier poets of the early and mid-Tang Dynasty, as well as the sense of crisis and cultural reflection of the frontier poets in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, are vividly reflected in frontier poetry. In particular, the poetry of "the woman behind the silver screen" in Tang Dynasty frontier poetry vividly reproduces the lonely life and painful emotions of women, as well as their attitude toward frontier wars, which has high value.
