Su Tung-po, was the best- known tz'u poet of China.” “Storytelling became a popular form and was printed in storybooks, called hua-pen, which later inspired the longer novels of China.” Chinese Literature: Styles of Literature http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/ent/A0857314.html “It is generally agreed that China's greatest poetry was written in the T'ang dynasty.
