Besides poetics itself, the systematic construct of Tang poetry should involve factors of other cultures, which constitute a complete system with poetics. Those nonmajor factors that affected the construction and development of poetics in the Tang Dynasty included the spread of tales about the poets in the time, development of dramatic novels associated with Tang poetry, reportrayal of artistic works and tang poems in the course of acceptance, and change of life demand of poets and scholars in those days. All these played significant roles in the development of Tang poetry and were the dynamo which gave a permanent vitality to Tang poetry.
