Narrator: We studied the prosperous and open Sui and Tang Dynasties. We sat in the time machine together, looking at the Tang Dynasty and looking down at the earth.
Tang Xiao: (happily) After crossing the mountain, how did it turn into vast tracts of green, getting lower and lower? It used to be overgrown with weeds, but now it is full of business?
Xiao Li: Now the government attaches importance to agriculture, and the area of cultivated land has expanded.
Tang Xiao: What are the farmers doing?
Xiao Li: Cultivated land.
Tang Xiao: Why is the cultivated land different from the past?
Xiao Li: Now the production tools have been updated, such as the curved shaft plow, and the straight plow has been changed into a curved plow. Installing plough can control the depth of plough and improve the efficiency and quality of cultivated land.
Tang Xiao: What's that big wheel?
Xiao Li: This is a trailer. "People can gain irrigation capacity without irrigation." This is a tool for irrigating farmland.
Tang Xiao: Look at the men plowing in the fields, the children playing on the roads, the old people taking a leisurely walk, and the women picking mulberry and raising silkworms. It's so harmonious. Look at the city again?
Xiao Li: Look, where are many houses?
Tang Xiao: That's Chang 'an in Tang Dou. Let's go to Tang.
Xiao Li: The layout is neat, the streets are wide and straight, and there are so many houses. Where does this man come and go? Tang Xiao: That was Fang Shi. Fang Shi was separated. Fang is a residential area, and the city is a commercial area.
Xiao Li: What is that tall and magnificent building? .
Tang Xiao: That's Tang Dou Palace, where the emperor lived and worked.
Xiao Li: No wonder! On the street, people come and go. How can there be people in all kinds of clothes and people who speak all kinds of languages?
Tang Xiao: During the reign of Emperor Taizong, he practiced an enlightened national policy and was deeply respected and loved by people of all ethnic groups, and was honored as Tiankhan.
Once defeated the Turks who harassed the Tang Dynasty, they set up Anxi viceroy, and the viceroy of the Northern Dynasties strengthened their jurisdiction over the north and south of Tianshan Mountain. The leader of Northeast China was named the King of Bohai Sea, where the economy is developed and the culture is prosperous, and it is called Haidong Guo Sheng. The leader of Nanshao was named King of Yunnan, and the leader of Uighur was Huairen Khan. Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng successively entered Tibet and married with Han and Tibetan, which further promoted the economic and cultural development of Tibetan areas and strengthened the friendly relations between Han and Tibetan.
Adopting the open policy, encouraging foreigners to come to the Tang Dynasty to exchange, study, do business, be an official and make proper arrangements, which has a long-standing reputation in the world and is called "Tang people". Chang 'an, Tang Dou, in particular, is not only the center of political, economic and cultural exchanges among all ethnic groups, but also an international metropolis.
Xiao Li: No wonder! Let's go to the city and have a look!
Tang Xiao: OK, let's go.
Xiao Li: Fine texture, beautiful patterns, some as thin as cicadas. What is this?
Tang Xiao: This is Shu Brocade, a famous silk product in China. The name of the Silk Road comes from silk. Foreign countries call China the country of silk.
Xiao Li: Ah, what's this smooth and delicate, and it feels good?
Tang Xiao: This is celadon from Yueyao, as jade as ice. This is the white porcelain of Xing Kiln, as white as silver. Does it contain anything better?
Look, this is Tang tri-colors, three colors, images, patterns, lifelike figures and animals. You see, this is a small statue carrying a camel, a porcelain-making technology reflecting the climax of the Tang Dynasty, and its content is also a symbol of ethnic exchanges and blending, showing the opening and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Xiao Li: I heard that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is good. Let's have a look.
Tang Xiao: OK, here we are. Look at the Wild Goose Pagoda. This is a famous Buddhist building. Those who took part in the imperial examination left poems here, wrote their names and inscribed the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Master Xuanzang returned from his westward journey to Tianzhu, organized his disciples to sort out Buddhist scriptures here, and compiled The Tale of the Western Regions of Datang, which recorded the mountains, rivers, customs and customs of more than 0/00 countries and regions along the way, and became an important cultural classic and precious document for studying the Western Regions, West Asia and India.
Wu Cheng'en took Xuanzang as the prototype, and wrote a long mythical novel, The Journey to the West, which was set in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty.
Xiao Li: There were many cultural celebrities in the Tang Dynasty. Please introduce it!
Tang Xiao: The Tang Dynasty was the golden age of poetry, with various themes and forms. There are 50,000 existing poems and more than 2,300 poets. The famous poet Li Bai's "Early Making Baidicheng" has been made into a thousand miles of Jiangling, and the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying. The canoe has passed Chung Shan Man.
It's hard to get to heaven.
"Looking at Lushan Waterfall" Rizhao incense burner produces purple smoke. Looking at the hanging waterfalls in Qianchuan and flying to thousands of feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has set for nine days.
Yellow River: The Yellow River fell into the sky and went to the East China Sea. Wan Li wrote it in his heart.
Yangtze River: The lonely sail has a clear blue sky, but only the Yangtze River is flowing in the sky.
Poet Du Fu: The wine in Zhumen stinks, and the road has frozen bones. Although a country is divided, mountains and rivers last forever. In spring, it returns to the green trees and grasslands. Petals fall like tears, and lonely birds sing their sorrows. After three months of fighting among family members, it reaches 10,000 yuan.
Outside the sword, I suddenly heard the sound of sorrow. At first, I couldn't stop crying from my coat. Where are my wife and my son? There is not a trace of sadness on their faces. However, I packed my books and poems crazily. The poet's fate and the fate of the country are integrated into one's feelings of home and country.
Bai Juyi: The grass on the plain is boundless. As the seasons come and go, wildfires never completely devour them. They grow taller in the spring breeze.
Calligrapher: Yan Zhenqing is the most accomplished calligrapher in the history of calligraphy in China after Wang Xizhi. He created a bold and honest strict style, and his masterpiece "Yan Jia Ci Bei" was praised by Su Shi: reform and innovation, skinny as an autumn eagle. Liu Gongquan: He borrowed other people's ideas and formed his own "Liu style". His masterpiece "Mysterious Tower Monument" left a good name of "writing suggestions". Ou Yangxun: His brushwork is both Fiona Fang style and rigorous and symmetrical. His representative works, such as Jiucheng Palace Monument, etc.
Painters: There are figure paintings, landscape paintings, religious paintings and genre paintings in the Tang Dynasty. Famous painter: Yan's masterpiece "Cloth" depicts the scene of Emperor Taizong receiving Lu Dongzan, the Tibetan envoy; Wu Daozi's representative work "Born of Gautama Buddha" depicts the scene of King Su Fan, the father of the founder of Buddhism, holding Sakyamuni to meet the gods (the wind prevailed in the Wu Dynasty: he was called a painter saint), with vivid characters.
The music "Colorful Feathers", the dance "The King of Qin breaks the array" and the dance "Dancer: Gong Sundaniang" are also quite developed and deeply influenced by various ethnic groups.
Xiao Li: Do you still remember Du Fu's situational poems describing the prosperity of Kaiyuan?
Tang Xiao: You said "nostalgia": nostalgia for the prosperity of Kaiyuan, especially in a small town. Rice is fat and white, and public and private granaries are rich. There are no jackals on the road in Kyushu, which is a good day to travel.
It can be seen that in the Kaiyuan period (early Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty), politics was clear, warehouses were full, and the population increased obviously. The Tang Dynasty entered its heyday and became a prosperous time in history.
Xiao Li: It's good that the Tang Dynasty opened a new century, which left us a lot of valuable spiritual and material wealth and brought us important enlightenment. Many practices are worth learning from, which makes us deeply educated and feast our eyes. We can't stay long. Let's go back to study, work hard today, accumulate strength, improve our quality, and make great contributions to our country tomorrow, making our motherland stronger and better.
