    Classical Prose Movement

    A literary and cultural movement occurring during the Tang and Song dynasties that rejected the ornate and rhythmic parallel prose of the time in favor of the simpler, more direct prose of the Qin and Han periods. Promoted by writers like [[韩愈|韓愈|han2 yu4]] and [[柳宗元|柳宗元|liu3 zong1 yuan2]], it emphasized that literature should serve as a vehicle for moral and philosophical truth.
