At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in harmony. In 6 17 AD, Tang Taigong Li Yuan Jinyang rose up and proclaimed himself emperor in Chang 'an the following year. Emperor Taizong advocated "the rule of chastity" after he ascended the throne. Tang Gaozong inherited Zhenguan's legacy and initiated the "rule of eternal emblem". In 690, Wu Zetian took the Zhou Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty as the capital and Luoyang as the historical name. After the Dragon Revolution, the name of Datang was restored. After Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, he made great efforts to govern and created a new century of economic prosperity. After the Anshi Rebellion, the vassal regime became independent, and the eunuchs monopolized power, which led to the gradual decline of national strength. In 878, the Huang Chao Uprising broke out, destroying the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. In 907, Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty, which perished, and China entered the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
The territory of the Tang Dynasty was unprecedented, and it was the first unified dynasty that did not build the Great Wall of Hu. 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 culture of the Tang Dynasty was eclectic, accepted the exchange and study of people from all over the world, and formed an open international culture.
