Features: China is a land of poetry. Since the publication of the Classic Anthology of Poetry (Shijing) in the 6th century BC, countless great poets and immortal works of poetry have emerged. Especially the Tang Dynasty poetry, which reached the pinnacle of poetic art in China's nearly three-thousand-year poetic history. 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 Shijing, but later it was also understood as using poetry to educate the people.
