Education fact... Tang Dynasty....

Education was a big part of Chinese culture. At first it was just noble people who were educated and they were only men, later they started to educate Nobel women too-because they spent most of the time with future rulers of the country who were suppose to be very well educated. In the Tang dynasty, anyone with an education was expected to greet as well as say goodbye to another person in poetic verse composed on the spot. Can you imagine how difficult it is to compose a poem on the spot? But, apparently for that time it was a regular thing for every educated person.
