A Study of the Relationship between the Local Governor and the Local Literary Ecology in the Tang Dynasty

In the Tang Dynasty, most of the local governors were literati who came from the imperial examinations.When the literati work in local area, they not only moved from the government to the countryside, but also spread the literature.Therefore, the relationship between local governors and literature can be studied from two aspects:the creation of local governor and the construction of local cultural ecology.In the selection process of local governors, literary ability is one of the factors considered by the court.The exchange between central government posts and local governors is also an important criterion for officials selection and appointment.Local governors play a great role in the construction of local cultural ecology.First of all, in the process of administration, local governors carry out the national cultural and educational policies concretely, which has great influence and direct decision-making power on local scholars' study and official progress.Secondly, some local governors themselves are accomplished writers.When they take part in the literary activities of the prefecture, they attract and agglomerate a large number of literati and enrich the literary world scene.Thirdly, as the governor's governor, he chanted the landscape and scenery of the local prefectures with poems to publicize the reputation of the prefectures, thereby completing the promotion of classics and literariness.At the same time of shaping the local cultural ecology, the local governors also achieved his own achievements and literary names.
