Tang Dynasty poets sang for about three centuries in different tones. There were many famous poets living in the Tang period such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. Poems of the Tang Dynasty edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of more than 48,900 poem that were written by over 2,200 poets. But it didn't cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.
Tang Dynasty poets wrote poems to win fame and also to develop their temperament(性情). They poured out deep feelings for their friends and criticized in injustice in the world through poems.
In the Tang Dynasty scholars had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems, women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.
Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It's a miracle in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited(继承)Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world. Tang poetry wasn't the only spiritual wealth created by the Tang Dynasty people. Philosophy and religion, handwriting and painting and music and dance all gained new peaks of development. Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and its greatest achievement.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and the Internet didn't come out of a golden egg. Many of today's creations were not born of people who had creative ideas, but who did not stop at simply having an idea. They took one brick of capital (资本), another brick of knowledge, perhaps a brick or two of family and friends, and built their empires (帝国) brick by brick.
If you want to build an online empire, you cannot settle for simply having a website full of articles, or a website full of pictures—there are already thousands of sites like that, so you need to come up with something new and creative.
So if you are starting to build something up, ask yourself: what do you really want to do, and what are you really good at? Believe it or not, you can make money at something that you are an expert in, and you need to know what that is.
Remember, having an online empire does not mean that you have to do it alone. You can take your friends along with you. Having a friend advertise your services online is a good way to attract more visitors to your empire.
Building an online empire, you will have to be prepared to not only come up with creative ideas, but to carry your ideas through. Talk to people who have already succeeded in building their own empires. Talk to people who are struggling. Join a mailing list that will help you get through your struggle to achieve your goal.
As you move forward, you will find that you can help other people, and you will have a good many stories to tell—not to mention a lot of money in the bank.
If you learn the real secrets of creating a long term stable (稳定的) online business then you will have enough money to retire on.

My class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people. The first two 1 there were for persons requiring 2 in taking care of themselves. They loved our sweet songs we sang and the flowers we gave them.
As we were 3 on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer (老年痴呆症), most of them 4 off at the walls or floor. However, one lady 5my eye. She was singing songs to herself. They weren't the songs that we were singing, at least they didn't 6 like that. As we got7with each song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got.8 she was singing, she was also 9out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my10were to my students. People who worked at the care center could 11to her, I thought.
Just when I stopped feeling 12 about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, also 13 the same lady. The difference between us is that he 14 on her needs, but I didn't. Justin looked this aged lady in her15 and said, “You're important, and I will take my 16 to let you know that.” This elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Tears felt down her face. No 17can completely describe that touching moment.
It took a boy to 18me about kindness and love. Justin's example of a complete, selfless attitude toward another was a19that I'll never forget. He was the teacher that day, and I consider myself 20 to have witnessed his lesson.
I was looking at a picture recently and noticed there was something different. The frame (框架) was 1 The whole picture still looked good but I couldn't2whether or not changing the frame would make it better.
From this an interesting 3 came to mind. At times when I was4 I would spend money on clothes. Because I have a love for 5 I thought I would feel good through buying new clothes. However, the feeling was always 6 Why? Because doing this didn't 7 the real issue. What I needed to do was to pay attention to what was bothering me on the inside 8 trying to cover up my problems by making changes on the outside. I was changing the frame but the picture on the 9was still the same.
We may change the10of our hair or even buy new clothes. There is nothing wrong with doing this once or twice, but if it is being done for the wrong reasons, it may not 11 to how we really feel. If you12 there is something wrong, try to change that; this way you will truly feel better on the inside.13time with family, having a conversation with a friend, or even letting your pen write your innermost (最深处的) feelings can 14You will get true peace and joy inside 15This way, not only will you be better able to 16 your life but also display colorful images of love for others.
So17 necessary, don't just change the frame. Change the picture. Getting a new picture may be 18 and may take time; however, with 19 it can be accomplished. In the end, playing your part in building a 20 of even more fine art in this world would be worth it!

It was a sunny day today and I went to Xishan Park for a spring outing. The moment I entered in the park, a variety of beautiful flowers and green trees come into sight. Attracted by the beauty, I couldn't stop taking photo. As I wandered along the path, enjoy the beautiful view, I noticed something unpleasantly. Two schoolgirls jumped the fence to pick flowers. Obviously they didn't realize that their behavior had done great damage on the beauty of the park. Without delay, I went up and stopped them politely. Quite embarrassing, the two girls came out immediately. Then we took pictures outside the fence. Seeing that, I smiled and something looked nicer in my eyes.
Last year I was put into a lowerlevel math class at school. The reason I was in this class had nothing to do with my intellect (智力) or maths skills. I am blind.
The only problem with being in this class was that I was surrounded by “atrisk” students. These were kids who did not do well in school and they were constantly in trouble with the school and the law.
One Tuesday morning, I went to a Christian Student Union meeting before school. There was a guest speaker there that day talking to us about praying (祈祷) for our enemies. I began to think about this. As I considered the idea, I prayed and asked God how I could pray for the kids in my class. I had forgotten that they weren't bad kids; they were just lost.
At first, the prayers were mechanical. When I would hear their voices in class, I would pray, “Dear God, please bless soandso...” But as I continued, I began to think of the kids more often, and in my quiet time at home I would ask God to bless (保佑) the rest of my classmates.
As time went on, my classmates became more than just annoying kids to me. There was something growing inside my heart for them, something that wasn't there before. They began to feel like family, and I was learning to love them in a way I never thought possible.
I now see that praying is such a powerful act. Prayer is the most powerful tool a Christian has. When I pray for those around me, it also blesses my life, and it changes my opinion of others. I realized I needed God's blessings to see the world through loving eyes. The prayers I said for others turned out to help me the most.
Tornadoes are nature's most violent storms, which can cause deaths and destroy a neighborhood in seconds. A tornado appears as a funnel-shaped (漏斗状) cloud from a thunderstorm to the ground with whirling (飞快移动) winds that can reach 300 miles per hour. Damage paths can be over one mile wide and 50 miles long. Every state is at some risk from this disaster.
Some tornadoes can be seen clearly, while rain or nearby low-hanging clouds obscure others. At many times, tornadoes develop so rapidly that little, if any, advance warning is possible.
Before a tornado hits, the air may become very still. A cloud of debris (散片) can mark the location of a tornado even if a funnel can not be seen. Tornadoes generally occur near the edge of a thunderstorm, when the strong wind may die down. It is not uncommon to see clear, sunlit skies behind a tornado.
The following are facts about tornadoes:
The average forward speed of a tornado is 30 MPH, but may also vary from still to 70 MPH. Debris is picked up or a cloud forms in the funnel.
The average tornado moves from southwest to northeast, but tornadoes have been known to move in any direction. Tornadoes are most often reported east of the Rocky Mountains during spring and summer months.
Tornadoes can happen together with tropical storms and hurricanes as they move onto land. Waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water.
The tornado season in the southern states of America is March through May; in the northern states, it is late spring through early summer. Tornadoes are most likely to occur between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m., but can occur at any time.
