Features: This book examines the entire development of Yuan Dynasty Tang poetry studies from the dual perspectives of geography and time, focusing on the three major cultural circles of the capital, Jiangxi, and Jiangzhe. It also conducts studies on several important Yuan Dynasty works on Tang poetry, revealing the fundamental characteristics of Yuan Dynasty Tang poetry studies and their unique position in the history of Yuan Dynasty Tang poetry studies. The Yuan people revered Tang poetry universally, and its poetic and cultural significance warrants in-depth research. The Tang poetry concepts of the Song and Ming dynasties differed greatly, and it was the Yuan people who completed this transition. The Ming people's belief in "poetry as a grand feast" and their spiritual concepts were indeed inspired by the Yuan people. Thus, Yuan Dynasty poetry studies served as both a bridge from the Song to the Tang and a gateway from the Tang to the Ming. Its special significance deserves further exploration.
