Features: This book provides detailed research on the lives, achievements, and works of 32 poets from the early, high, and early mid-Tang dynasties. It either fills gaps or corrects errors, with substantial evidence and rigorous arguments, revealing insights previously unexplored. Additionally, the book offers a macroscopic examination of the literary status and influence of the examined poets, as well as the contemporary poetic scene and schools of poetry. It strives to summarize the developmental patterns of literary history, particularly its analysis of the different poetic groups from the Dali period, which pioneered the new trend of collective studies in Tang literature research since the 1980s. The book was first published in 1980, and the academic community considers its publication to have "advanced the study of Tang literature to a new level" (as quoted in the preface to Collected Studies on Tang Poetry by Professor Luo Zongqiang of Nankai University).
