What was the Tang Dynasty novel called?

Tang Dynasty novels were generally called " Tang Legends." Tang legends were a special form of Tang novels, also known as "novel history books" because they contained a large number of historical events and biographies in addition to the plot of the novel. Tang legends usually described the social reality and people's lives in the Tang Dynasty, but also reflected the political and cultural environment at that time. They played an important role in the history of Chinese literature and had a profound influence on later novels, dramas, essays and other artistic forms.
