Seven-character quatrains became very popular in the Tang Dynasty, and

many excellent poems emerged,

unmatched by later generations.

Today, we will introduce ten classic Tang poems,

Each of them has been passed down through the ages, and

each of them is worth memorizing.

"Liangzhou Ci"

Tang·Wang Zhihuan

Far above the Yellow River among the white clouds, there is an isolated city on Wanren Mountain.

Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass.

Although this poem expresses the resentment of those on the border who are not allowed to return home, it is written in a tragic and desolate way, without a decadent mood, and shows the broad mind of the poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Even if he writes about tragic resentment, he is also sad and strong, sad and generous.

Perhaps it is precisely because "Liangzhou Ci" has a sad mood without losing its grandeur that it can become a typical representative of "Tangyin". Later generations of critics considered this poem to be the pinnacle of the seven unique poems of the Tang Dynasty.

"Weicheng Song"

Tang·Wang Wei

The morning rain in Weicheng clears the dust, and the guesthouses are green and willow-colored.

I advise you to drink a glass of wine. There is no old friend when you leave Yangguan in the west.

The sentence "I urge you to drink another glass of wine, there is no old friend when you leave Yangguan in the west" is sad and deep, and the words are shallow and affectionate. It seems to have entered the heart of the other person, infecting the two separated people, and then became a poem. An eternal masterpiece that has been praised by future generations.

"Farewell to Xin Jian at the Furong Tower"

Wang Changling of the Tang Dynasty

The cold rain came to Wu at night, and I saw off the guest Chu Shangu in the morning.

When relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, their hearts are filled with ice in a jade pot.

When bidding farewell to friends, Wang Changling used "a heart of ice" as a metaphor for noble aspirations and conduct, which was very clever. The image of the poet as aloof, arrogant and pure is very vivid. This poem is also often used as a farewell message for future generations.

"Early Departure from Baidi City"

Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty

The white emperor's farewell speech is among the colorful clouds, and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are returned in one day.

The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

This is a poem composed by Li Bai when he was pardoned and returned from exile in the second year of Qianyuan (759). It is one of the most widely circulated poems among Li Bai's poems.

The whole poem combines the poet's happy mood after being pardoned with the magnificence of the mountains and rivers, and the smoothness and briskness of boating along the current. It uses exaggeration and fantasy to write it in a fluent and elegant way, shocking the world, without being artificial. , whatever you want, it’s natural.

Yang Shen, a man of the Ming Dynasty, praised: "The ghosts and gods wept in the storm!"
