How Much Do You Know About the Chinese Tang and Song Poetry?

When it comes to Chinese culture, we firstly think of Tang and Song poetry, which can be treated as a powerful witness of the development of Chinese ancient culture. Till today, some of these poems are favored, talked and sung by people as well as served as learning model that we rush to learn. Above all, we always take a pious attitude when learning it so as to pay our respect to the writer and show our thanks to the precious fortune he offered us.

The most well-known ones among them are Du Fu, Li Bai, and Li Qingzhao, who are very outstanding poets. No matter Tang poetry or Song poetry are taught to us. Although we can not have a better understanding of the emotion and situation when they created the work, we are appreciated by these beautiful words especially some popular verse. I remember the poem: Till the end of life a silk worm keeps spinning silk. Till burning itself out a candle goes on lighting us, created by Li Shangyin is the best art and is remembered every minute by many people. In addition, such works as Drinking Revelry by Li Bai and Ascend by Du Fu are the ones we will learn in our textbooks, some classical sentence of them are supposed to keep in mind for us. Even if we don't have resonance with them, there will be some vibration in our minds, hoping that we are able to understand the era better.

We can say that Tang and Song dynasty occupied a considerable proportion in the history of Chinese culture. It was at this time that created many cultured, talent and ambitious people some of whom do not yield to power or are engaged in study of culture. Poor or rich, the precious fortune that they left us are the same.

Although we now have a lot of high-tech products, some popular poems are no longer to be seen. Even if there are some talented people in daily life, they also can't compare with those in the past. All that we can do is to remember those talents and learn their poems to show our respect to them！
