Let's follow the footsteps of these documentaries and explore together.
General History of China
Personally, I think the documentary A General History of China is very well analyzed and in place. Divided into 12 episodes, it tells the story of the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty.
Reunification
Yang Di's merits and demerits
Controlled by Guan Zhen.
Wu Zetian
Tian Kai Shi Sheng
An Shi Rebellion in 755-763 A.D.
Dilemma in the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty
Chang 'an, a world metropolis
The rise and fall of Tubo
Dunhuang
Foreign relations in Tang dynasty
Religion in Tang dynasty
This 12 general history subtitle of China corresponds to the history of different periods in the Tang Dynasty, and it has flourished since the episode of 1~5. By the sixth episode, the situation began to get worse.
Personally, if you want to understand the complete history of the Tang Dynasty, you can start with the General History of China. The merits and demerits of Li Yuan, the founding emperor, and even the last Sui Dynasty were briefly introduced. From the end of the Sui Dynasty, we can get a general understanding of the recovery process of the Tang Dynasty, and then to the first prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, it also introduces us to the origin of some historical traditions.
For example, the door god was Emperor Taizong who was guilty of killing his brother after the Xuanwumen Revolution and was afraid that they would come back to collect debts. So he asked Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong to watch the door for him personally. Later, it gradually developed into the current goalkeeper. But the emperor who killed his brother and forced his father brought us the first prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, the rule of chastity.
At that time, his concubine Wu Zetian was not a simple role, and these were not below.
I am a fan of historical documentaries. Personally, I like it very much and recommend this general history of China. If you are interested in the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty, you must watch it.
Chinese Ancient History
The ancient history of China is very suitable as a supplement to the general history of China, with more details. But there are different views on the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. Also according to the time line of the Tang Dynasty, 20 episodes are used to describe the rise and fall of the whole Tang Dynasty. At the same time, based on real cultural relics and historical records, it has done a lot of popular science on the history and culture of the Tang Dynasty.
Its 20 episodes are titled as follows
North-South reunification
Rule of opening the emperor
The mourning of Qionghua
Run through the north and south
Member of the editorial board of Form and Meaning;
Controlled by Guan Zhen.
Wordless monument
kaiyuan flourishing age
Brocade of prosperity
Light of science and technology
Da de ru shui
Grasp the outside world with a broad mind.
Wan Guo lai Chao
Tang poetry
Tang legend
Momo Shuxiang
Shi Sheng Zhi Zi
Great changes in the Tang Dynasty.
The ambition of revival
be beset with a crisis
From these subheadings, we can easily see the historical rise and fall and cultural prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Personally, I strongly recommend watching two movies together. After reading it, I believe everyone will no longer be unfamiliar with Tang Chaoken.
