Qujiang(曲江) is located in Changan, the capital during the Tang dynasty. Among the structural characteristics of this city is Qujiang, a pond constructed in the southeast corner of the castle. Qujiang of the Tang dynasty is the most representable scenic place of spring sightseeing for the people of Changan. Furthermore, starting the Neutralization Festival on February 1 on the lunar calendar, many people from inside and outside the capital city as well as the imperial family visited the place and enjoyed the springtime pleasantly and in harmony. This can be seen as the indicator for the formation of Qujiang Culture, a unique culture of the Tang dynasty. During the development and completion of Qujiang Culture, an important aspect is that the scholars(士人) of the Tang dynasty came to form close relationships with the Juzi(擧子) as the Qujiang Feast(曲江宴), and began a celebration held by the New Jinshi(新進士). Thus, Qujiang Culture created a new cultural code that is not found in other dynasties that came before and after it. Growing as a unique culture of the Tang dynasty, it was able to see its golden age.BR There are two important cultural codes of Qujiang Culture. The first is the scholar, formed around the common goal of passing the civil service examination, and the other is the Qujiang Feast, the congratulatory entertainment put on by the New Jinshi. The unique characteristic of Qujiang Culture is that the scholar and the Qujiang Feast, the new cultural codes, opened up the possibility of Qujiang Culture becoming an interactive, bilateral, and complex culture. Within Qujiang Culture, the mutual interactive exchange was prioritized rather than an absolute and unilateral way of communication according to the rank of the social position, and they formed solidarity by emphasizing a close fellowship among one another. In particular, it created a place where the imperial family and commoners can come together, and it made possible for an interactive exchange of both cultures based on the most magnificent festival held in Changan within the boundaries of Qujiang. This is significant because it is a cultural activity that cannot be found in other dynasties.BR Under such circumstances, Qujiang Culture naturally developed a synergy that can embrace diverse and various cultures, and within such circumstances, it was able to develop as a culture consisting of complex character as multiple cultures in harmony with each other. Furthermore, Qujiang Culture allowed literature and banquet to come together and did not neglect any part of a culture. This culture with such characteristics developed and met its golden age, advancing the art culture of the Tang dynasty to one that is incomparable to any other dynasties.
