| The masterpiece of Tang poetry, The Complete Collection of Tang Poetry, contains over 2 000 love poems that reflect the culture of marriage and love. In the love poems based on real life, "sending poems" and "resentful poems" respectively reflect the views on marriage and love that prioritize male talent and female appearance when choosing a spouse, revealing that at that time, men held a dominant position in social life due to their absolute economic control, while women were in a passive state of dependence on male sexuality. There is a heterogeneous and isomorphic correlation between the difficulty of marrying a poor woman and the downfall of a poor scholar. Therefore, "poetry of poor women" has become a classic theme for literati to express their lack of talent, indicating that under the imperial examination and selection system at that time, the difficult career paths of children from poor families were as common as the lack of a matchmaker for poor women. Studying the love poems of the Tang Dynasty not only helps to understand the customs of marriage and love, as well as economic and social systems at that time, but also has enlightening significance for modern women to achieve spiritual independence through economic independence. At the same time, it has enlightening significance for improving the talent selection system and building an innovative country. |
