The following is a passage on Tang poems. The underlined sentenceis taken from the passage. Choose the best place where the sentence could be put from [A], [B], [C] and [D].Tang poems in particular remain the most popular out of every historical era of China.The Tang period is a golden age of Chinese literature and art. There are over 48, 900 poems penned by some 2,200 Tang authors that have been popular until modern times. [A] Perfecting one’s skills in the poem writing became a required study for those wishing to pass imperial examinations. Poetry was also heavily competitive, and poetry contests amongst distinguished guests at banquets and gatherings of social elite were common in the Tang period. Poetry styles popular in the Tang included gushi and jintishi, with therenowned Tang poet Li Bai (701-761) and Cui Hao (704-754) famous for their use of the latter. [B] Jintishi poetry, or regulated verse, is in the form of eight-line stanzas or seven characters per line witha fixed pattern of tones that required the second and third coupletsto be antithetical (although the antithesis is often lost intranslation to other languages). [C] This great emulation (仿效) of Tang era poetry began in the Song dynasty; during that period, Yan Yu (严羽) asserted that he was the first to designate the poetry of the Glorious Age of Tang Dynasty (c. 713-766) as the orthodox (正统的) material with “canonical(典范的) status within the classical poetic tradition”. [D] Yan Yu reserved the position of highest laurel of all Tang poets for Du Fu (712-770), who was not viewed as such in his own era, and was branded by his peers as an anti-traditional poet.
