Especially the Tang Dynasty poetry, which reached the peak of poetic art in China's nearly 3,000-year history of poetry. China is also a country that emphasizes "poetry education." The original meaning of "poetry education" is to learn the "gentleness and kindness" reflected in the Classic Anthology of Ancient Poems, but later it was also understood as cultivating the nation through poetry.
