Why is Li Bai not one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties

The Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, specifically the Eight Masters of Tang and Song Prose, all have great achievements in prose, and Li Bai's most important contribution is poetry, so he is not among the Eight Masters.

Among the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties selected by later generations, Li Bai, who is recognized as a poet immortal, was not among them!

Why?

1.Who commented on the eight families of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

The eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties refer to Liu Zongyuan and Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, and Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong in the Song Dynasty.

As the most famous poet in ancient China, why was Li Bai not selected for the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties?

And this kind of mention was first seen in the "Anthology of Six Gentlemen" compiled by Zhu You in the early Ming Dynasty, because in it, Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe are father and son and are regarded as a family. So in fact, it is actually more appropriate to call this "Six Gentlemen's Anthology" "Eight Mr. Anthology".

Later, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the "Wen Bian" compiled by Tang Shunzhi only included the articles of these eight masters, and the articles of other writers were not included. Since then, the sayings of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties have gradually become famous all over the world.

After Tang Shunzhi, there was another person named Mao Kun in the Ming Dynasty, who was a diehard fan of Tang Shunzhi. So seeing that Tang Shunzhi compiled such a book, he also compiled a book of "Eight Great Literary Notes of the Tang and Song Dynasties", with a total of 144 volumes. Compared with Tang Shunzhi's "Wen Bian", this set of books has been widely circulated.

In today's terms, this was the bestseller of the time.

Since Cining, known as the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, it has begun to be recognized by the world.

The Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song dynasties is the collective name of eight famous essayists in the Tang and Song dynasties, including Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan in the Tang Dynasty and Su Shi, Su Xun, Su Zhe, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong in the Northern Song Dynasty. The Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song dynasties were the central figures of the Tang and Song Dynasty Ancient Literature Movement, and they advocated prose and opposed prose, which had a profound impact on later generations. Since the poet immortal Li Bai's main work is poetry, not prose, it is not included in the Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

The Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song dynasties focused on their attainments in prose rather than poetry.

Hello dear. The reason why Li Bai could not become one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties was because the Eight Great Servants of the Tang and Song Dynasties were collectively referred to by the eight representative essayists. Li Bai's main achievement is poetry rather than prose, so he does not accompany the conversation, it is the Tang and Song Dynasty eight masters.
