On the literary side, the Tang dynasty had erotic poems describing love between the sexes and sexual feelings, and short stories extolling love or exposing sexual shenanigans, such as The Tale of Huo Xiaoyu, The Tale of Yingying, and The Tale of Li Wa, which all faithfully reflect the social mores of the time.
從文學的角度來看，唐代描寫男女戀情、閨情的「豔情詩」；頌揚愛情、揭露性愛問題的「傳奇小說」，如：《霍小玉傳》、《鶯鶯傳》、《李娃傳》等，都充分地反映了當時社會面貌。
