How open was the Tang Dynasty?
The Tang Dynasty is the largest and only unified Central Plains dynasty without the Great Wall. The territory of the Tang Dynasty surpassed that of modern China in both the west and the north.

After the attack of the East Turkistan and Xue Yantuo in the Tang Dynasty, the son of heaven was honored as Tiankhan by all ethnic groups in Siyi. In addition, the system of detention was used to recruit Turks, Uighurs, Tiele, Khitan, Mohong and Shiwei to attack enemy countries, and vassal countries such as Nanzhao, Silla, Bohai and Japan were allowed to learn their own cultures and systems. ?

With the diversification of science, technology, culture, economy and art in the Tang Dynasty, a large number of famous poets, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, calligrapher Yan Zhenqing, painters Wu Daozi and Li Sixun and musician Li Guinian, emerged. The Tang Dynasty accepted the exchange and study of various nationalities at home and abroad and formed an open international culture.

The Tang dynasty was the most powerful empire in the world at that time, and its reputation spread far and wide overseas, and it had contacts with Asian and European countries. After the Tang Dynasty, many overseas people called China a Tangren.
