Tang poetry refers to poetry written in or around the time of and in the characteristic style of China's Tang dynasty (618-907 A.D.) and/or follows a certain style, often considered as the Golden Age of Chinese poetry.
Tang Dynasty marked the high point of classical Chinese poetry. Not only was the period prolific in poets and in poems (perhaps as many as 50,000 poems), but poetry was integrated into almost every aspect of professional and social life, including as part of the Imperial examinations taken by anyone wanting a government post.
The poetry of the Tang Dynasty was so strong that it remains influential today, and it towered over the generations that followed it. Please see Multiple-ways to learn Chinese ancient poems
