《唐詩100首》

 

宋德利 譯

 

    唐詩泛指創作於唐代（618年—907年）的詩，也可以引申指以唐朝風格創作的詩。唐代被視為中國曆來詩歌水平最高的黃金時期，因此有唐詩之說，與宋詞並舉。

    唐代以後，唐詩的選本不斷湧現，現今流傳最廣的是蘅塘退士編選的《唐詩三百首》。

    唐詩泛指創作於唐代的詩。唐詩是漢民族最珍貴的文化遺產，是漢文化寶庫中的一顆明珠，同時也對周邊民族和國家的文化發展產生了很大影響。唐代被視為中國各朝代舊詩最豐富的朝代，因此有唐詩、宋詞之說。大部分唐詩都收錄在《全唐詩》中，自唐朝開始，有關唐詩的選本不斷湧現，而流傳最廣的當屬蘅塘退士編選的《唐詩三百首》。清朝康熙年間的《全唐詩》則整理收錄了二千二百多名詩人超過五萬首唐詩。

    按照時間，唐詩的創作分四個階段初唐、盛唐、中唐、晚唐。
