They not only often write their own poems, but also often encourage others to write poems, and vigorously promote those who can write poems, which greatly promotes the popularization and improvement of poetry. Poetry is a huge monument to the peak in the cultural history of the Tang Dynasty. Poetry in the Tang Dynasty is unprecedentedly prosperous, reaching a perfect artistic realm and becoming a cultural symbol of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty (AD 6 18-907) was the heyday of China's classical poetry and the peak of China's classical poetry.

Ci, also known as near-body Yuefu and Qinqu, is also called poetry and short sentences. These names show the close relationship between words and music, and have certain internal relations with Han Yuefu and Tang poetry. Song ci is the lyrics sung to match new music, which is filled according to the score of a certain musical tune. It is called "Bodhisattva Man", "Butterfly Lovers" and "Niannujiao". Equivalent to the lyrics of modern songs. Ci is developed on the basis of Han Yuefu and Tang poetry. It uses five or seven words with irregular sentence patterns and changeable rules to express the artistic conception of lightness, novelty, boldness and boldness, as well as the lingering feelings for life. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, Ci concentrated on reflecting the mentality of ancient China literati, and became a singing method dominated by strings. The singing method of Song Ci has long been lost. Now it has become a "dumb language" without "sound and emotion". But readers can still feel the beauty of music rhythm between the lines, either lingering, elegant and distant, impassioned, or depressed and frustrated. Poets in the Song Dynasty created a wonderful artistic realm of separation and swing, at arm's length, and blending scenes, which was very touching and infectious.
