The Tang Dynasty was a period of great radiance in literary creation and was especially noted for poetry writing, for which it has been dubbed the golden age of poetry, a predominant genre among all literary forms popular with both the rulers and the populace for about 300 years. There had emerged during this period of time a considerable number of brilliant poets and outstanding poetic compositions. All subsequent Chinese poetry derives its forms from the creations of this time. The number of known Tang poets runs into thousands; their output was enormous, and almost very great poet's work was published in one way or another.
