(6 18-907) started with the emperor gaozu Li Yuan and finally mourned the twentieth emperor. The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of China's feudal society, among which Tang Taizong and Li Shimin's "Zhenguan Rule" was the most important. After that, Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor with "Zhou" as the title.

The Tang Dynasty is one of the most important dynasties in the history of China. In the Tang Dynasty, China made brilliant achievements in politics, economy, military affairs, culture and Sino-foreign relations.

In the early Tang Dynasty, agricultural production flourished, handicrafts became increasingly sophisticated, commodity economy flourished unprecedentedly, and urban life flourished. In the late Tang Dynasty, the economy of the south of the Yangtze River developed further, which laid the foundation for the economic level of the south to surpass that of the north in the future. At that time, in politics, "Zhenguan rule" and "Kaiyuan rule" appeared successively, which achieved national unity and social stability, and its achievements surpassed the "Wenjing rule" in the Western Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, it reached its peak in its heyday, and even the "prosperous Tang Dynasty" appeared in the literary world.

As far as the world is concerned, the Tang Dynasty is also one of the most important and powerful countries. The feudal forces in Europe mainly included the Frankish Kingdom and the Byzantine Empire, both of which were far behind the Tang Dynasty. The important countries in the East are India and Japan. The Indian martial law king had just established a feudal system before and after unifying the subcontinent, but the subcontinent immediately fell apart after his death. In the world, the Tang Dynasty not only stood on its own feet among the nations of the world, but also belonged to the most advanced ranks.

The Tang Dynasty was a crucial period for the transition from the early stage to the late stage in ancient China. In this sense, the Tang Dynasty also has an important historical position. Many budding new things appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, which had a far-reaching impact on the historical development of more than a thousand years later. The tax reform in the Tang Dynasty, the "two taxes" in the Song Dynasty, the "one whip method" in the Ming Dynasty and the "spreading land into mu" in the Qing Dynasty are all the continuation and development of the two taxes system in the Tang Dynasty. The philosophical thoughts of Han Yu and Li Ao in the middle Tang Dynasty set a precedent for Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties. The ancient prose movement advocated by Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan laid the foundation for the second climax of the ancient prose movement in Song Dynasty. Therefore, during the 200 years from the Middle Tang Dynasty to the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, great changes were brewing in the ancient society of China, and many new things sprouted in the Tang Dynasty.

In a word, the developed economy, prosperous culture and strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty are another prosperous situation in China history after the Han Dynasty, which is called "Prospering the Tang Dynasty by Strengthening the Han Dynasty". The development of the late Tang Dynasty initiated the great social changes in ancient China. The Tang Dynasty was indeed a glorious and great era in the history of the Chinese nation!
