Han and Tang Dynasties were the two strongest dynasties in the feudal history of China, both of which were quite powerful. But which is stronger? If we simply compare their forces vertically, it is obvious that the Tang Dynasty was hundreds of years later than the Han Dynasty. After hundreds of years of development (of course, in China's successive dynasties, the Qing Dynasty not only did not develop for more than 200 years, but also directly regressed, especially the military equipment of the Qing Dynasty, but the dynasties before the Qing Dynasty at least developed in some aspects), it is obvious that the Tang Dynasty was stronger. Because there were stirrups in the Tang dynasty, but according to historical records, there were no stirrups in the Han dynasty (it is estimated that the prototype existed), which directly led to the fact that the cavalry in the Tang dynasty was better equipped than that in the Han dynasty, and the weapons in the Tang dynasty were better than that in the Han dynasty. For example, the hundred knives in the Tang Dynasty are a proof. The economy of the Tang Dynasty was obviously more prosperous than that of the Han Dynasty, and its territory was also broader than that of the Han Dynasty. But if compared horizontally, the force of the Han Dynasty was stronger than that of the Tang Dynasty. During the Han Dynasty, the biggest enemy, Xiongnu, was either driven away or assimilated. Later, there were no powerful opponents (nomads) around the Han Dynasty. Moreover, although the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, expanded its territory and used nomadic generals, it mainly relied on its own generals, such as Huo Qubing, Wei Qing and Chen Shang. On the other hand, a considerable part of Tang Dynasty's external development relied on foreign generals (such as Gao Xianzhi and Blackpool). ), it shows that the Tang Dynasty was really tolerant (unlike the hypocritical national integration of the Manchu Dynasty), but it also shows that the Tang Dynasty relied more on foreigners, so the Tang Dynasty has great rights in our time. When the central government is strong, these foreign leaders will be driven away by you, but when these foreign leaders see that the central government is weak, they will definitely bite back. In the Han dynasty, there was basically no such problem. Although the Tang Dynasty won the war with the aliens, it also lost to the Tubo and was forced to kiss them. After the defeat of Luo Heng, Arabs lost Central Asia, and the subsequent Anshi Rebellion never made Tang Jun re-enter Central Asia, which directly led to the slaughter and slavery of Han people in Central China. Although the Han Dynasty was defeated by the Huns, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty basically subdued the Huns.
Generally speaking, the martial arts of the Han Dynasty were stronger than those of the Tang Dynasty, but in terms of comprehensive strength (including economy), the Tang Dynasty was more prosperous and powerful. The Han Dynasty was a dynasty that expanded the territory of China in the early days, initially built a multi-ethnic country and opened foreign trade channels. Its position in history cannot be ignored. Like the founder.
Known as the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it is also because from the Tang Dynasty, the feudal dynasty in China entered its heyday. During this period, national integration and foreign trade reached a peak. The relationship between territory and nationality is one of the most glorious periods in China's history. As a carrier.
These two can't compare. Because in different historical periods, they all reached the peak of that period and had a far-reaching impact on later generations.
