1, An Shi Rebellion

The Anshi Rebellion, which broke out in Tianbao 14th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (755), was a serious social unrest, which almost destroyed the Li Tang regime and brought immeasurable losses to the social economy. The Anshi Rebellion became a turning point in the history of the Tang Dynasty. Before the rebellion, it was the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. After the rebellion, the Tang Dynasty entered a stage of decline and eventually went to extinction.

2. Buffer regime

After the Anshi Rebellion, there was a separatist regime in the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Tang dynasty, the separatist regime of the buffer region was an important reason for the decline of the Tang dynasty. The central government became weak because the buffer region was self-sufficient. Several attempts to weaken the buffer region not only failed to achieve the goal, but also consumed a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, making the country unable to compete with the buffer region anymore. In sharp contrast to the decline of the central power, the power of the buffer region is getting stronger and stronger, and the separatist regime of the buffer region is even more uncontrollable.

3. The eunuch is in charge

In the struggle between eunuchs and bureaucrats, the spirit of literati is worthy of recognition. However, their strength was far from that of eunuchs, so their efforts to crack down on eunuchs and restore imperial power failed. What's more, this kind of struggle has greatly consumed the power within the ruling group and seriously affected the normal political life of the country. The local separatist forces are even more fearless, and the rule of the Tang regime is already in turmoil.

4, the struggle of the door valve party

The feudalistic scholar-officials' party struggle was a stubborn disease in China's ancient officialdom. Factional struggle also appeared in the Tang Dynasty, which became a major problem in political life at that time and was responsible for its decline.

5. Peasant uprising

The peasant war dealt a fatal blow to the dying Tang Dynasty, and its rule collapsed. Zhu Wen, who defected and surrendered, became a political figure in the late Tang Dynasty. Three years later (903), Zhu Wen killed all the hundreds of eunuchs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the eunuchs who went abroad were also executed on the spot, ending the eunuch's authoritarian situation. God bless four years (907), Zhu Wen abandoned self-reliance and changed its name to Liang, with its capital in Kaifeng. The Tang Dynasty perished.

Extended data

The Anshi Rebellion was a war waged by An Lushan and Shi Siming, the generals of the Tang Dynasty, from the last years of Xuanzong to the early years of Daizong in China (February 755 16 to February 763 17). It is a civil war that competes with the Tang Dynasty for dominance, and it is a turning point in the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. The civil war caused a large loss of population and a sharp decline in national strength in the Tang Dynasty. Because the commanders who launched the rebellion against Tang Dynasty were mainly An Lushan and Shi Siming, this incident was named An Shi.

This war has brought unprecedented disaster to society. "Biography of Guo Ziyi in Old Tang Dynasty" records: "The palace was burned, and there was no one in ten, and everything was abandoned and there was no rafter. There are less than 1000 households in the central area, and the scenery in Jingyi (should be changed to hazelnut) is the number of jackal houses. It lacks both military reserves and manpower. East to Zheng, Bian and Xufang, north to Qin and Huai, it is a place isolated from human population, a thousand miles of depression ",including almost the whole middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and it is desolate.

Du Fu said in a poem: "After the lonely Tianbao, there are more than 100 homes in my garden, and there are many things in the world." This shows that after the war, the broad masses of people were homeless.

The Anshi Rebellion weakened the feudal centralization, created the necessary conditions for the feudal separatist regime, and made the Tang Dynasty decline from prosperity to decline. Since then, the Anshi Rebellion Party has formed a separatist situation in Heshuo.
