    The Tang Dynasty was the first unified Central Plains dynasty since the Qin Dynasty to not build the Great Wall. "All Tang Poems" contains more than 50,000 Tang poems, and there are more than 2,300 famous Tang Dynasty poets, which is more than twice the total number of poems from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties. During the Zhenguan period of Tang Taizong, he defeated the Eastern Turks and captured the supreme leader of the Eastern Turks, Jieli Khan, and the Son of Heaven was respected as the Heavenly Khan by the four countries.

    Subsequently, Tang Taizong sent troops to conquer everywhere and destroy the Gaochang Kingdom, which blocked and controlled the Silk Road, as well as the Qiuci and Xue Yantuo Khanates, which were often opposed to the Tang Dynasty. During the Zhenguan period, in order to transport the grain and materials from the Bashu region of Sichuan to the capital Chang'an, the Baochuan Waterway was built to connect the Hanzhong of Bashu and Baojimei County of Shaanxi.

    During the reign of Emperor Gaozong Yonghui of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Zhi sent generals Cheng Yanjin, Xu Maogong, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, and Zheng Rentai to destroy Goguryeo, Western Turks and other countries successively. He also sent the general Liu Renliang to defeat the Japanese coalition forces in the naval battle at the mouth of the Baijiang River, so that the land area is as high as 12.37 million square kilometers, reaching Lake Baikal in the north and controlling the Green Ridge region in the west. During the period of Tang Zhongzong, the 67-year-old Empress Dowager Wu Zetian forced her son Tang Zhongzong Li Xianchan to give up the throne, the northern grasslands and the Western Regions rebelled, and the land area was sharply reduced to more than 6 million square kilometers.

    After the Shenlong coup, Wu Zetian passed on his son Li Xian of Tang Zhongzong, and Emperor Zhongzong listened to the suggestion of the prime minister Cui Xiang (Shi) and built the Danba Dao waterway, connecting the Danshui of the Hanjiang River in Hubei Province and the Chang'an Bashui of the Beijing Division, and continuously transported the grain and material resources of the middle and lower reaches of the Han River to Chang'an City, the national capital.

    During the Kaiyuan period of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, the population was as high as more than 80 million, and the Later Turkic Khanate was defeated through the joint Hui Dynasty. Sent the generals Gao Xianzhi, Wang Zhongsi, Li Siye to conquer various countries, and in Central Asia and to the east of the military expansion of the Arab black-clothed food encounter, there was the famous battle of Talas (da), due to the sudden rebellion of the Grolu people to the Tang Dynasty army, the Tang Dynasty army in Talas was defeated by the Arab army, after this battle, the Arab black-clothed army saw the strength of the Tang Dynasty army, did not dare to expand to the east. Soon after, the Anshi Rebellion occurred, and the Tang Dynasty army was transferred eastward to quell the rebellion, and Central Asia was separated from the Central Plains for thousands of years, and it had become Islam when it said goodbye.

    During the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 300 tributary countries to the Tang Dynasty. By the time of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji Kaiyuan period, China's feudal society had reached its highest peak in economy, politics, culture, and military. After the Anshi Rebellion, through the unremitting efforts of the three generations of emperors Suzong, Daizong, and Dezong, the Anshi rebels were divided and disintegrated, but the remnants continued to rebel in the three towns of Hebei.

    In the later period, after Emperor Xianzong's reduction of the domain, the situation of Yuan and Zhongxing was created, and then after the reign of Tang Wuzong's Huichang Zhongxing and Tang Xuanzong's Dazhong, the Tang Dynasty was revived.

    It is because the Sui Dynasty did do a lot of things back then, and things that are beneficial to China, not to mention the construction of canals, are very beneficial.

    What is most famous in the Tang Dynasty is poetry, that is, culture, but the economy of the Tang Dynasty did not develop much, so it was not as good as the economy of the Sui Dynasty.

    Because in fact, although the Tang Dynasty was at its peak for a period of time, he attached too much importance to cultural heritage and pursued singleness too much, so it was not as comprehensive as the Sui Dynasty.

    Although the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, it was too conservative and focused too much on cultural and moral aspects, so it was very weak in manufacturing and educational reform.

    I think the Tang Dynasty was still very prosperous, and now there is information that the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the Sui Dynasty, it seems that the Sui Dynasty has a little more households than the Tang Dynasty, but I think whether a country's economy is prosperous or not cannot be determined by the number of residents.

    I think it can be compared to the Sui and Tang dynasties, because the Tang Dynasty should be regarded as the most open dynasty in ancient China, and the development is also very good.

    I think the Tang Dynasty is only inferior to the Sui Dynasty in some small aspects, but it is still relatively strong in other aspects. The strong place is that the Sui Dynasty had more people than the Tang Dynasty in its heyday. You must know that the Sui Dynasty was preceded by the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and at this time, each country would vigorously develop its own population for the sake of war, which is very similar to the model of China's Warring States Period, because you have no one to annex the land of other countries, so it is normal for the population to increase dramatically at this time.

    At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was no so-called small country in the world, and there was no so-called development, and the number of deaths of the people increased sharply at this time, similar to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

    The Tang Dynasty was not as good as the Sui Dynasty economically, starting from the way Emperor Wen of Sui seized the throne. At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian could be said to have usurped the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty, because the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty died too early, and Emperor Wen of Sui was in the center of power, so he naturally had this advantage, and he also had to thank Dugu Jialuo, if Dugu Jialuo had not been persuading him, he would not have established the Sui Dynasty so quickly.

    And at that time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already experienced the vigorous cleaning and development of Yuwen Hu, which can be said to have cleared all obstacles to development, and then after the vigorous development of Emperor Wu, it can be said that the national strength of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was very strong, and Emperor Wen of Sui inherited all this. On the other hand, the Tang Dynasty experienced great chaos in the world and was extremely destroyed in the economy, which cannot be compared with the Sui Dynasty. And Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian was also a hard-working emperor, and during his reign, he vigorously developed a wave of people's livelihood and economy.

    Because some people look at the problem more one-sided, material-centered, they say that the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the Sui Dynasty, the first aspect, the Sui Dynasty has more households than the Tang Dynasty, the second is that the Sui Dynasty dug the Grand Canal, and the third is that the Sui Dynasty has a short time, but has accumulated a lot of wealth. In fact, these are relatively one-sided, the prosperity and duration of the Tang Dynasty are not comparable to the Sui Dynasty, in addition, the comprehensive national strength of the Tang Dynasty is much stronger than that of the Sui Dynasty.

    Because some of the projects of the Sui Dynasty were indeed of a welfare nature, and benefited the latter. For example, the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, a commercial canal connecting the north and the south, not only strengthened the connection between the north and the south, but also promoted the overall commercial development.

    Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty thought that one generation had done the work of several generations, and he had consumed too much manpower and material resources, and he could not deal with the local powerhouses in the country, such as Li Yuan, Yu Wenhua and other gate valves were all taking the opportunity to chase the world, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, Yu quietly continued the policy of the Sui Dynasty, and at the same time, the internal gate valve shoveled the jujube and destroyed the clan.

    No one in the history of the Sui Dynasty said that the Sui Dynasty was stronger than the Tang Dynasty, which was the most powerful dynasty in China's feudal society. The reason why the Sui Dynasty was short-lived was because the foundation was unstable, and the builders dug the Grand Canal to empty the treasury, increase taxes, and make the people miserable. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was also an emperor who was a poor soldier, which led to the resentment of the people in the Sui Dynasty, the rise of princes from all walks of life, and the destruction of the Sui Dynasty.

    The Qin Dynasty was also very powerful, but it was finished in the second generation. The Sui Dynasty is similar to the Qin Dynasty, and the imitation of Chenhong is because of the problem of the second generation. However, Emperor Yang of Sui is still relatively capable, but he is too good to be happy. Coupled with the strength of the aristocratic forces, it is inevitable that they will not be overthrown.

  22. Anonymous users2024-01-16

    It can be understood that the Sui Dynasty was relatively strong, but the basis of his rule. There is a great deal of military power, in the hands of various gate valve families. The absolute power of the emperor himself was not strong enough.

    At that time, the manuscript waiter was waiting to put it bluntly, and the emperor took turns to do it. Because the emperor does not have absolute power over those gate valves. And they are not aware of this balance of power, blindly talking about the self-confidence of the stove to consume too much of their own strength, coupled with the dissatisfaction of the people, the people's unstable mind.

    It gives others an opportunity to take advantage of.

    Both generations of the Sui Dynasty were Ming lords, and the era of the sage Khan was strong. However, Mrs. Yang Guangxin wanted to be the Holy Lord and tried to solve the problems of several generations from generation to generation, so he got away with it. For example, Goguryeo (not the current Xiaohan Dynasty, then they have the Northeast) three battles, two socks and two socks, the shirt is wounded, the soldiers are tired, the people are tired, the canal is opened, the labor and rest are boiling, and the people's grievances are boiling, and at the same time, the gate valve power will also be at its peak in that era, and the old Li family will return to the cavity is one of the gate valves and win the world.

    Summing up the reason, Yang Guangxin was too big and collapsed the Yang family.

    Before 1900, dispatching more than 600,000 troops was equivalent to suicide (you can see the history from 5000 BC to 1900 AD, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the biggest victory and promotion of troops is 600,000, and more than this number will undoubtedly be defeated), Emperor Shen Yang of Sui is the only fool who committed suicide 3 times.

    The fall of the Sui Dynasty did not happen overnight. The Sui Dynasty was established by a palace coup, and the pattern of the regime being monopolized by the chaebol clan remained unchanged. The measures taken by Emperor Wen of Sui to curb the power of the Shi clan still had little effect.

    Similarly, the moody changes of Emperor Wen of Sui in his later years also accelerated this contradiction. Quietly.

    After Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, social contradictions became more and more obvious. Yang Guang's implementation of a series of great achievements has made great achievements, but it is also a kind of harm to the people, which costs the people and money. In the end, the defeat of Goryeo caused dissatisfaction among the people, and there was an endless uproar in the uprising.

    Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was not the root cause of the fall of the Sui Dynasty, but only an induced fuse.

    The political reform carried out around the feudal lord system during the great cause of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is bound to break the "Guanzhong-based policy" implemented since Yuwentai of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was disguised, and by restricting and weakening the powerful power and influence of the Guanlong group, it is necessary to rectify the government, strengthen the centralization of power, and expand the social basis of the rule. However, its political reform plan was not fully mature and rushed forward, and failed to combine it with the establishment of a political situation in which people's livelihood was smooth, united and stable, and finally a serious crisis of governance broke out.

    It should be stronger than the Sui Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty went through a total of 21 emperors (including Wu Zetian), a total of 289 years. Tang had brilliant achievements in culture, politics, economy, diplomacy and other aspects, and was the most powerful country in the world at that time.

    At its peak, the territory of the Tang Dynasty stretched from the Korean Peninsula in the east, to West Asia west of the Aral Sea in Central Asia, to Hue in Vietnam in the south, and to Lake Baikal in the north to the area below the Arctic Ocean, with a total area of 12.51 million square kilometers. The Tang Dynasty inaugurated the establishment of the Dao and Fu in the history of China's political regions. The Tang Dynasty made new progress in agricultural production tools.

    Quyuan plough appeared in the Tang Dynasty. New irrigation tools, waterwheels and drum trucks, also appeared. In the early Tang Dynasty, there were more than 160 important water conservancy projects recorded alone.

    Among them, the famous ones are Yuliang Canal, Jiangyan Lake, Mirror Lake and so on. During the Tianbao period, the cultivated area of the Tang Dynasty reached 8.5 million hectares. Food production has also increased.

    In the eighth year of Tianbao, the grain stored in the official warehouse reached 96 million stones. When the price of rice in Luoyang in Chang'an was the lowest, it was only 13 wen per bucket, and Qingzhou and Qizhou were only 5 wen per bucket. In the late Tang Dynasty, due to the southward migration of population, land reclamation and major water conservancy repairs, grain production in the south increased significantly.

    The most remarkable literary achievement of the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as Tang poetry, although there are still outstanding poets in the later Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, the overall level of legal poetry and ancient poetry is not as good as that of Tang Dynasty poets, making Tang poetry an insurmountable peak of ancient Chinese poetry.
