Abstract
Collected Tang Poetry of Moderate Tone， compiled by Zou Meizhong during the Daoguang period， was an anthology of Tang poems for rudimentary education. The “moderate tone” first required poetry to have a clear and elegant theme， then considered its structure and rhetoric in accordance with different forms. With this aesthetic purport， Zou Meizhong carefully selected and organized poets and their poems， trying to show the historical change of poetry throughout the whole Tang dynasty. In terms of its pedagogical function， this anthology aimed at teaching children writing skills and cultivating decent personality.
