唐以詩名，這其实是浪漫得不能再浪漫的了，我很早就認識到的事實.

How on earth,  a full dynasty of the largest nation that stretched across three centuries is sufficiently defined by POETRY alone? !  Other golden eras of China or other civilizations always involve more defining factors.

I always view Tang poetry as a blessing, a spiritual sky arching over all Chinese people indiscriminately since then, including those denying it, and trying to discredit it - they don't know what they are doing.
