About This Novel
The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of poetry development. Tang poetry profoundly reflects the core spirit of the Tang Dynasty and has become an important mirror image of historical evolution, reflecting the trajectory of social change. Almost all major historical events in the Tang Dynasty were clearly recorded in official historical documents, and were vividly and artistically presented in poetic texts, which served as "mutual evidence between poetry and history." This book uses 530 Tang poems with wide social recognition as narrative clues. Through in-depth analysis of poetic texts and restoration and reconstruction of historical context, this book systematically sorts out the historical development of the Tang Dynasty in the past 300 years. The book uses poetry to testify to history, showing in sequence the majestic founding of the Tang Dynasty, the glory of Zhenguan rule, the exploration of Emperor Gaozong and Wuzhou, Zhongzong Ruizong's efforts to bring chaos, the heyday of the Kaiyuan era, the changes in the Anshi Rebellion, the chaos of feudal rule, the unfulfilled ambitions of the reform of the two kings and eight Sima, the reappearance of the Yuanhe Zhongxing, the inability to recover from the Ganlu Incident, The ups and downs of the poets in the Niu-Li Party Struggle, the reflection of the ZTE in Huichang, the afterglow of the Dazhong Reign, and the final impact of the Huangchao Uprising are all familiar Tang historical events and the fate of characters.
