During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, due to political peace, economic prosperity, relative social stability and frequent exchanges between China and foreign countries, various categories of Chang 'an culture and art competed for development and made brilliant achievements.

In terms of literature, poetry creation entered the golden age, and a large number of outstanding poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Meng Haoran, Wang Wei, Du Mu, Li He and Li Shangyin gathered in Chang 'an, and classical poems, metrical poems and quatrains all reached their peak from perfection.

Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan hold high the banner of the ancient prose movement, oppose extravagance and debauchery, and advocate that "words must speak for themselves" and "words must follow words". They entered the ranks of the "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties" with refined and subtle, sharp and beautiful prose works. The appearance of the Tang legend marks that China's novel creation has entered a new stage and gradually matured.

In terms of music and dance, a number of outstanding musicians, singers and dancers emerged, giving birth to music and dance with grand scenes and warm atmosphere, such as Qin Wang's broken array music, Jiugong dance and colorful feathers, which wrote a gorgeous chapter in the history of music and dance in China.

In art, sculpture, calligraphy and seal cutting, there are many famous artists and masters, and outstanding works emerge one after another with far-reaching influence. Acrobatics are blooming, dramas are emerging one after another, and folk crafts reflect the talents of folk artists.

The cultural and artistic undertakings in Chang 'an in Tang Dynasty are full of vitality, which vividly reflects the spirit of the times in the heyday of China feudal society.
