The Anshi Rebellion in the later period of Xuanzong in Tang Dynasty made the Tang Dynasty gradually decline. In the middle and late Tang dynasty, the emperor had no real power in economy, politics and military affairs, which led to the formation of the separatist situation in the buffer regions. Finally, all parties broke away from the rule of the Tang Dynasty and became independent regimes. There were 22 emperors in the Tang Dynasty who lived in China for 290 years (during which Wu Zetian changed the Tang Dynasty to sixteen years).
