Tang poetry

Poetry of the Tang dynasty

Tang poetry (traditional Chinese: 唐詩; simplified Chinese: 唐诗; pinyin: Tángshī) refers to poetry written in or around the time of, or in the characteristic style of, China's Tang dynasty (June 18, 618 – June 4, 907, including the 690–705 reign of Wu Zetian), and/or follows a certain style, often considered as the Golden Age of Chinese poetry. The anthology Complete Tang Poems includes over 48,900 poems written by over 2,200 poets. However, with recovered and variant texts and modern archaeological excavations from sites like Dunhuang, the actual number of named Tang poets (and the total number of Tang poems) are much higher, at an estimated 3,700 recorded poets from the Tang dynasty.
