| Regarding to the historical status of the Mid-Tang Literature, views of the domestic scholars are always different. One point is that the Mid-Tang literature is inferior to the past period of Tang Dynasty. Another is that, the Mid-Tang literature is the second climax of the Tang-Dynasty. Prof. KAWAI Kozo brings up a news point about the Mid-Tang Literature by put it in the Chinese Literature, such a great background. And he thinks that the Mid-Tang Literature is not only the recession of the whole Tang Literature, but also has great influence to the Song Literature because of its new changes and glorious achievement.Prof. KAWAI Kozo got this point by rigorous and scientific research. In order to show the innovation of the Mid-Tang Literature, Prof. KAWAI Kozo not also bring up new point in the macro, but also search proofs by studying poets and their poems. The macro view and micro research show us the innovation of the Mid-Tang Literature together. The main change of the Mid-Tang Literature is the breakthrough in the literary pattern. The breakthroughs of poems are changes in content, feelings, as also as its form. Regarding to prose, the main change is its number improves greatly, that is very different to the past period. In the past period of Tang Dynasty, poem is the main literary form people choose, so the number of prose is very small. Contrast with this, literati began to write prose with a large number in the Mid-Tang Literature period. So the number of poem and prose became balance. Prof. KAWAI Kozo even thinks that just literati wrote poem and prose, can be the deputy of the Mid-Tang Literature. About to the spirit of literature, Prof. KAWAI Kozo thinks the literati's worldview changed. They try to compete with the nature, and this also influences their literary creation. Additionally, they also attempt new aesthetics style. They try to create strange literature that is different to the past period. And this is also a new change of the Mid-Tang Literature.
