Tang Dynasty poets sang for about three centuries in different tones．There were many famous poets living in the Tang period, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin．Poems of the Tang Dynasty edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of more than 48,900 poems that were written by over 2,200 poets．But it didn’t cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty．
During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight．Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield．
Tang Dynasty poets wrote poems to win fame and also to develop their temperament(性情)．They poured out deep feelings for their friends and criticized injustice in the world through poems．In the Tang Dynasty scholars had to be poets．Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people．Poets recited poems, women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems．This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time．As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and V ietnam．
Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature．It’s a miracle(奇迹) in the cultural history of mankind．The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory．It inherited(继承) Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world．Tang poetry wasn’t the only spiritual wealth created by the Tang Dynasty people．Philosophy and religion, handwriting and painting, and music and dance all gained new peaks of development．Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and its greatest achievement．

People who go to a formal Western dinner party for the first time may be surprised by Western table manners．Having good table manners means knowing, for example, how to use knives and forks, when to drink a toast and how to behave at the table．Beside your napkin you will find a small bread roll and three glasses--one for white wine, one for red wine, and one for water．There are two pairs of knives and forks on the table, forks on the left and knives on the right of the plate．When you see two spoons, the big one is for the soup and the small one for the dessert．The knife and fork that are closest to your plate are a little bit bigger than the ones beside them．When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap．
Dinner starts with a small dish, which is often called a starter．Some people pray before they start eating, and other people may keep silent for a moment．After the starter you will get a bowl of soup—but only one bowl of soup and never ask for a second serving．
The next dish is the main course．Many Westerners use their fingers when they are eating chicken or other birds, but never touch beef or other meat on bones．It is polite to finish eating everything on your plate, so don’t take more food than you need．
At table, you should try to speak quietly and smile a lot, but do not laugh all the time．
Most Westerners drink soft drinks if they have to drive home．Many of them drink white or red wine with the food．For drinking during a dinner, the best advice is never to drink too much．Table manners change over time．Besides, table manners are only important at formal dinner parties．Although good manners always make you look good, you do not need to worry about all these rules while having dinner with your friends or family．

Geniuses amaze us, impress us and make us all a little jealous(嫉妒的)．How do they differ from the average person? Scientists are working hard to figure our that answer．Tune in to the National Geographic Channel to find out about the discoveries they’re making in the series My Brilliant Brain．When Marc Y u was only two years old, he began to play the piano．After a year, he started learning pieces by Beethoven．Now he’s a world-famous concert pianist at age eight．He learns newer and more difficult pieces with ease and can identify any note(音符) he hears．He seems to he specially designed for music．In Born Genius, National Geographic looks at the science behind child prodigies(神童) to explain why some children seem to be born without limits．
Genius didn’t come naturally to Tommy McHugh．His came only after he nearly died from bleeding(出血) in his brain．After recovering, McHugh’s head was filled with new thoughts and pictures．So, he began to express them in the form of poetry and art．Now, he’s a seemingly unstoppable creative machine．Sufferers of autism and brain injury have shown that great mental ability can sometimes come from damage or disease．Accidental Genius explores this puzzling relationship．Can normal people be trained to be geniuses? Susan Polger has shown no signs of extraordinary intelligence．Y et, during her childhood, she studied thousands of chess patterns and learned to recognize them immediately．As a result, she was able to beat skilled adult players by age 10 and can now play up to five games at the same time without even seeing the boards．Make Me a Genius examines what it takes to turn an ordinary brain into that of a genius．
If becoming a genius were easy, we’d all be one．Y et, there is much more to super intelligence than simply being born lucky．Learn more about amazing brains this month on National Geographic’s My Brilliant Brain．
