In ancient times, Kyoto was not only the "residence of the emperor" and the political center, but also the center of academic and cultural affairs, occupying the most central position in the literary space and map. Chang'an and Luoyang were regarded as the "Eastern and Western Imperial Residences" in the Tang Dynasty, and were also commonly referred to as the "Two Capitals" or "Two Capitals" by the Tang people. As the most concentrated activity site for literati in the Tang Dynasty, with the special attributes of multiple cultures of the region, city and imperial capital, the two capitals had an immeasurable impact on the literary creation of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, due to different historical and cultural accumulation and political status in the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an and Luoyang developed different regional cultures and capital cultures, and Tang Dynasty poetry also had different literary expressions and cultural presentations.
