In this essay, I will review the main viewpoints of the book " The Poetry of
the Early Tang" written by Stephen Owen. These main viewpoints are court
poetry, its opposition poetics, and important poets of the Early Tang. In the
end of this report, the summary and the arguments will be given.

Stephen Owen's "The Poetry of the Early T'ang (1977)"chronologically,
systematically studied the whole poetry of the Early Tang. He solved the
following problems:

What process was that the Regulated Verse, as Recent  Poem, was
formulated and gradually became a unified ? Why the "old " poem,
especially seven characters old  poem, became popular in High Tang and
Middle Tang and evolved into fixed  away from court poetry through
numerous tries and considerable reforms by the Early Tang poets? What kind of
the historical positions have the Early Tang's poets such as the Four Talents
of the Early Tang, Chen Tze-ang, Tu shen-yen, Shen Chuan-chi, and Sung Chih-
wen? What characteristics are there in Court Poetry and its opposition
poetics?

What is court poetry? 宮廷詩

Court poetry is the poetry referred to later Southern Dynasties, Sui, and
Early Tang (page 1). Court poetry mainly has two s-t-y-l-e-s (this word has been screened out by this website, it bacomes S)[/COLOR] . One is the imitation
of folk lyrics, Yuefu. The other is the formal occasional poem (page5). Court
poetry has the following characteristics and conventions (page 5-13):

Very good indeed!

It is good to put in these of your good stuff, which will for sure edify your scholastic status.

Dear montreal, I didn't know of it whatsoever you are actually good at (writing) poem and poetry. Wow, that is truly fabulous.

Dear 原野一郎 :

I am only a librarian whose expertise is selecting a book, writing summary and abstracting.

Thanks,

Montrealer

The book gives us the whole picture of the poetry of Early Tang. The
conventions of the poetry of the Early Tang provided  poets in High Tang with a
set of composition skills and forms. The poets of the High Tang increased
their individuality and other structural principles. Although there are
differences between the two periods, no evidence shows absolute isolation
existing between them.

In contrast, most poets in High Tang inherited the
composition techniques of the Early Tang and developed these skills for their
own purposes.

Why you block the word s-t-y-l-e?[/SIZE]

montrealer, i didn't block the word. this is what happened:

Backchina's text editor has two "taboo" words, S$tyle and a@fraid, seemingly a result of random choice. all our postings suffered from this censorship. every time when i wanted to post, i would have to manually search for the taboo words with microsoft notepad's FIND function. a pain in the neck.

--- reviewing viewpoints is different from providing a review. This is a summary not a review. If I write a review, it is more critical (you have to agree or disagree with author's points and give your evidences and study results to support your own points ) . Please find a book about how to write a review.

writing summary, abstract and review is basic professional skill for graduate student of Arts and Huamanities in North Amercian university, especially for Library and Information Studies.

chronological  results (results) of a systematic study != chronologically study (method),
I advised you to loan the book from library in another thread. It is the book about poems and poets.

All arguements should be supported by evidences. But in this report, I didn't do that because I didn't have time to do such a research and this was an assignment of one class that the professor didn't require so strictly.

It was very good, I got A-. (excellent A, very good, A-, good, B+, general, B, not bad (so-so), B-, below B- is regarded as FAILURE for graduate student).

few people got A+ (super)

A+ above 90%
A   85-90
A-  80-84
B+ 75-79
B   70-74
B-  65-69
