In this paper I discuss the imperial writing characteristic found in Tang fu as seen in the following five aspects. First, the authors of Tang fu present many images of the grand Tang Empire in their works. Second, the Tang Fu are filled with auspicious indications and praise of the empire or emperor. In addition, the reader of these works was generally assumed to be an emperor or a ruler, and the authors of Tang fu generally made statements on the position of the empire. Third, the works are full of national terms and symbols. Fourth, the subjects in Tang fu often relate to the empire or emperor, such as military affairs, national ceremonies, royal buildings, and imperial activities. Fifth, most things portrayed in Tang fu are all royal treasures and the way of seeing these things conforms to traditional doctrines. According to these observations on the characteristics of Tang fu writing, this paper uses an understanding for this particular 'way of seeing' to explain how the authors of fu viewed their world. We can see that most authors of Tang fu viewed this world in terms of the empire or from the eyes of the emperor; and moreover, they wrote from this same perspective. Therefore, these authors' unique ways of seeing and their special writing attitudes led Tang fu to become a genre with distinctive imperial writing characteristics. The importance of imperial writing characteristics not only represents the close relationship between the genre of fu and the culture of empire, but it also reflects the collective national consciousness that tied linked the authors of Tang fu. We can say that this imperial writing is a natural product of the social collective consciousness and this is one way in which the genre of fu differs from other genres.
