Features: When it comes to the era like the Tang Dynasty, the foundation for poetry creation was truly excellent. Boatmen would say, "Stop the boat and ask, perhaps we are from the same hometown"; mountain monks would recite, "Every morning I don't see the sun, every year I don't know the spring"; and courtesans who wanted to secretly flirt with scholars would write, "In the deep cave, the oriole sings in sorrow for Ruan Lang, stealing to the flowers to unclasp her pearl pendants." Tang poetry and Song Ci have long been praised as treasures in the cultural treasury of Chinese civilization, and the Tang Dynasty was a period when talented scholars flourished. The splendid culture created by the Tang scholars left later generations in awe, feeling it was unattainable. How many scholars and lyricists were unique, extraordinary, and unconventional, pouring out their personalities to the fullest. Compared to some people today who think they are cool just by wearing long hair and sunglasses, the Tang scholars were cooler and more unconventional. Since childhood, Jianghu Night Rain has loved reading Tang poetry and Song Ci, so even now, when he is bored or feeling down, he can't help but pick up a book of Tang poetry and read quietly. Because Tang poetry can express all the emotions in his heart, and the experiences of the Tang scholars can resonate with him. Sometimes, he truly wishes he could go back a thousand years to have a drink with the Tang scholars and talk about poetry.
