Chinese History 7 Sk Mishra

The Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE) succeeded the short-lived Sui Dynasty (581-618 CE). The new dynasty was a very important Chinese dynasty that was founded by Li Yuan (with Chang'an as the capital) after overthrowing the Sui Dynasty. In fact, the Tang Empire was one of the most powerful countries in the world at that time. The Tang Dynasty had 21 emperors and ruled China for nearly 290 years. Due to its immense contribution to China's growth and development, the Tang Dynasty period is often termed as China's golden age.
