中国诗歌的黄金时代

[第1～2段译文]

唐朝(618～907)是中国历史上最繁盛的朝代之一。这是一个疆域扩张的时期。最鼎盛的时候，唐朝的疆域北至 西伯利亚(现属俄罗斯)，东至当时的朝鲜，南到越南。唐朝统治者还控制着远至现今阿富汗的贸易线路--丝绸之路。

与外国人之间的贸易促成了宽容和包罗万象的文化。波斯人、阿拉伯人和犹太人来到唐朝定居，带来了他们自己的宗教信仰和风俗习惯。他们被允许居住在由他们自己的法律掌管的区域，保持着他们自己的传统娱乐项目，比如音乐以及舞蹈，这些也对唐朝文化的发展产生了影响。但是或许影响最为深远的外来文化是起源于印度的佛教。同时在唐朝宫廷受过教育的外国人将中国文化带回了自己的国家。不久，日本和朝鲜参照了唐朝的统治形式，唐朝的影响传遍了东南亚。
