The documentary Travel With Tang Poetry selects five famous poets from the Tang Dynasty， and in each episode， a scholar or artist is invited to retrace their footsteps during a representative period of their lives.

Documentaries centering on travel or poetry are common， but it is rare for any to combine the two elements. With these journeys and the situations the presenters encounter， the documentary wants to prove that Tang poetry is still very much thriving as an art form.

Apart from scholars who provide in?depth analyses of the poems from the perspectives of literature and history， and young students who learn Tang poetry in their compulsory courses， the documentary also tells stories of people from other walks of life and their personal， down?to?earth understanding of ancient poetry. “Tang poetry should not merely be literary works written on paper， or the possessions of scholars and experts， but something in the hearts of Chinese people and an ordinary part of their everyday lives，” the documentary director Li Wenju said.

On these journeys， all the people appearing in the documentary display one thing in common： a genuine passion for Tang poetry.
