The influence of four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty
Four outstanding writers in the early Tang Dynasty are a very famous group in the history of China literature. As a group, they opposed the decadent aesthetic atmosphere since the Six Dynasties, "thinking about its disadvantages and using its ambition", devoted themselves to the reform of the style of writing in the Six Dynasties, put forward some innovative opinions, and began to lead poetry from the palace to the market, from the Taige to the Jiangshan and Frontier fortress, with expanded themes and fresh and vigorous styles, which played an important role in getting rid of the style of Qi Liang and creating a new atmosphere in Tang poetry.
Most of the "four great masters" were born in Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty. Lu and Luo were born earlier, and their generations were slightly longer than Wang and Yang. These four writers have different creative personalities and strengths. Among them, Lu and Luo Shange, Wang and Yang Shan have five laws. They belong to ordinary literati who are truly gifted and have a high opinion of themselves. They are small and talented, big and humble, full of fantasies and passions for fame and fortune, and suffocating with their heroic spirit.
