Poetry And Other Stuff

The poems of the Tanand Song dynasties are similar in that they both use a lot of nature. Especially in Tang poetry, nature is a highly recurrent symbol. Additionally, the moon is a large symbol in both types of poetry. Song poetry seems to be a bit more solemn, and I prefer the Tang poetry. Tang poetry is happier, but it talks about getting drunk a lot. I don't think poetry can reflect a society, because there are so many different types of poetry.
