I’d like to talk about Tang Dynasty, which is about over 1000 years ago.
This dynasty lasted for 300 years, but I’d like to talk about the most prosperous period of time in that dynasty.
Archaeology evidence shows that it used to be the most powerful country in the world, international students from all over the globe, especially Asia like Korea and Japan, would come to China to learn about the manners and art. Foreign businessmen flocked to China to do business with us. I guess the Silk Road has witnessed all of this. It’s fair to say that the capital city Chang An was the biggest metropolis in the world at that time.
The biggest feature of that dynasty is poetry and calligraphy. There are countless poets in Tang Dynasty, and they created so many far-reac西藏旅遊, hing poems.
National leaders at that time were pretty open-minded and tolerant, and various religions were developed really fast and started to flourish in Tang Dynasty.
Today, there are quite a few movies and TV series based on stories that happened during that period of time, scriptwriters and directors all want to recreate that legendary dynasty. I guess it just goes to show how spectacular it was.
