Tamil literature
It has a history of more than two thousand years, and its development can be roughly divided into the following periods.
The Sangam period
"Sangam" means institution of learning in Tamil. Ancient Tamil scholars formed an academy to develop the Tamil language. There were three schools in history. Most of the Sangam documents that have survived so far have been handed down from the last academic institution. Sangam literature is poetry, collected in two collections, namely, "Eight poems" and "Ten songs". The former collection is
Short Poem,
The latter is a collection of long poems, written between 500 BC and 200 AD. The famous Sangam poets are Gabilal, Pranal, Nakilal and so on. Poems are about love, people's lives and customs, and natural beauty, and the achievements of emperors and warriors. These works had a profound influence on the development of Tamil literature in later generations.
Religious period
Religious period (600-1200) After the 5th century, Shiva and Vishnavism began to spread and became an influential religion, and the society enthusiastically worshiped God Shiva and Vishnu, thus producing a wealth of pious literature. It consists of two types of works, namely the respective hymns of the Shiva and Vaishnavite religions. The Shiva hymns were organized into 12 sacred Books, most of which were collected by Nambi Andar Nambi in the 11th century. Famous Shivite poets are: Yambendar (7th century), Abar (circa 8th century), Sundalar (8th century), Manika Vashagur (10th century), Segiral (12th century).
When Vaishnavite Nanziyar, Beria Siyar, etc. annotated the Four Thousand Hymns, Tamil and
Sanskrit
In intermingled use, this style is called "Mani Bilavaram", meaning pearl and coral. Annotators have their own unique style. Although their prose has not completely escaped the influence of poetry, it has reached a certain level and promoted the development of Tamil prose.

Tamil literature did not improve. In the mid-17th century, when Europeans entered Tamil Nadu, the Italian missionary Robert de Nobili (17th-18th century) wrote 18 prose works in "pearl coral" style, including the Biography of Jesus and the Philosophical Mirror. Besky (1680 ~ 1746)
Understand clearly
His book The Story of Father Palamada was a forerunner of the prose that flourished after the end of the 19th century. At this time, the prose is no longer rhyming, close to the folk oral English, compared with the prose of the annotation period, more easy to understand. In the 19th century, the Great Myth was rewritten in prose by the Ceylon Tamil Arumuge Navarral (1823-1879), who abandoned long sentence patterns in favor of short, colloquial sentences and first used punctuation in prose. In the 20th century, the famous writer Marema Mareadigal (1876-1950) advocated the use of pure Tamil prose, which was echoed by a large number of writers.
