Tang Dynasty (618 - 907 AD)
A Chinese Tang Dynasty tri-colored glaze porcelain horse (ca.700 AD).Main article:Tang Dynasty
On June 18,618,Gaozu (唐高祖) took the throne,and the Tang Dynasty (唐朝) was established,opening a new age of prosperity and innovations in arts and technology.Buddhism,which had gradually been established in China from the first century,became the predominant religion and was adopted by the imperial family and many of the common people.
Chang'an (长安,长安) (modern Xi'an西安),the national capital,is thought to have been the world's largest city at the time.The Tang and the Han are often referred to as the most prosperous periods of Chinese history.
The Tang,like the Han,kept the trade routes open to the west and south and there was extensive trade with distant foreign countries and many foreign merchants settled in China.
The Tang introduced a new system into the Chinese government,called the "Equal Field System" （均田制）.This system gave families land grants from the Emperor based on their needs,not their wealth.
From about 860 the Tang Dynasty began to decline due to a series of rebellions within China itself,and in the previously subject Kingdom of Nanzhao (南诏,南诏) to the south.One of the warlords,Huang Chao (黄巢),captured Guangzhou in 879,killing most of the 200,000 inhabitants including most of the large colony of foreign merchant families there.In late 880 Luoyang surrendered to him and on 5 January,881 he conquered Chang'an.The emperor Xizong (唐僖宗) fled to Chengdu and Huang established a new temporary regime,which was eventually destroyed by Tang forces.but another time of political chaos followed.
