The stories are very good-looking and nutritious, including Pei Xing, Nie Yinniang, The Tale of the Unique, and The Biography of Xie Xiaoe. the story of
The prosperous period of the early Tang Dynasty is the beginning of the Tang legend, and it is also the transition from the Six Dynasties to the mature Tang legend. Only a few works, such as Ancient Mirror by Wang Du, Biography of All the White Apes in Bujiang by Anonymous, and Fairy Cave by Zhang Kun, are almost absurd in content and immature in art. ..
The mid-Tang Dynasty was the heyday of Tang legend. During this period, there were not only the largest number of writers, but also the largest number of works, and many famous works emerged. For example, Chen's Away from the Soul, Ren Zhuan, Li Zhuan, Yuan Zhen's Yingying Zhuan, Bai Xingjian's Li Wa Zhuan, Huo Xiaoyu Zhuan and Chen Hong's Song of Eternal Sorrow. The theme of the content involves love, history, politics, chivalry, mystery, immortals and so on. However, most of the works embody a strong spirit of realism, and their creative methods and artistic skills are more mature.
The late Tang Dynasty is the declining period of Tang legends. Although there are many works, there are also some special collections, such as The Record of the Secret by Niu Sengru, The Ballad of Sanshui by Huangfumei and Legend by Pei Yi. But the content is thin and the art is vulgar. Only the works with chivalry as the theme have achieved high achievements, such as Du Guangting's "The Legend of the Campus" handed down from generation to generation is the most famous work.
