Tang and song poetry

Overall I liked the song poems better than the tang poems. They seemed to flow more like a poem, while the tang poetry was filled with short and choppy statements much like a really brief anectdote. Also I found that in the song poetry the author asked himself a lot of questions, sort of as a way to lead the audience into his ideas. Overall I think they both represent the interactions between different types of people rather that song and tang societies as a whole. And lastly I think poetry isn't really a good way to understand a society because it often filled with bias emotions or a strong point of view, which makes it hard to fully comprehend the whole society.
