Research on the Relationship between Urban Transformation and Literary Transformation in the Tang and Song Dynasties
by Cai Yan
About This Novel
As a large-scale human settlement, cities underwent major changes during the Tang and Song Dynasties. Changes in urban functions and social structures profoundly affected the lifestyles of literati in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and subtly changed their cultural and literary concepts. In this process, cities gradually lead literature toward secularization and popularization, thus triggering changes in literature at multiple levels such as subject matter, style, and genre. At the same time, literature is also actively shaping the city's image and cultural personality. In the interactive relationship between the dual construction of cities and literature, literati in the Tang and Song Dynasties keenly grasped the trends of urban social changes and reflected the images of urban transformation in the form of literary images. It is this perceptual writing method that more vividly preserves the historical reality.
