The Aesthetic Pursuit of the Tang Dynasty Literature Creation in Dunhuang Encyclopedias
The poetic prose and encyclopedias of the Tang Dynasty were very prosperous.The system of selecting tal-ents through literary creation in the Tang Dynasty promoted the popularization of poetry and literature learning,and also led to the prosperity of encyclopedias,which served as a knowledge base for poetry and prose creation.From the compila-tion style and preface of some Dunhuang encyclopedias,it is evident that the encyclopedias of the Tang Dynasty directly served the aesthetic pursuit of poetry and prose creation,emphasizing the duality of sentences,the magnificence of rheto-ric,and the use of allusions.This pursuit originated from the splendid literary style of the Six Dynasties.Although writers in the Tang Dynasty explicitly opposed the impractical drawbacks of this splendid literary style,they found it difficult to es-cape its influence in their actual creations.
