Tang Dynasty (618-906)
The Tang dynasty, sometimes known as the Golden Age of Ancient China, was considered the high point in Chinese civilisation. Its second emperor, Taizong, was regarded as one of the greatest Chinese emperors.

The period saw one of the most peaceful and prosperous periods of Chinese history. By the time of the rule of Emperor Xuanzong (712-756), China was the largest and most populous country in the world.

Major achievements were seen in technology, science, culture, art and literature, especially poetry. Some of the most beautiful pieces of Chinese sculpture and silverwork originate from the Tang dynasty.

The dynasty also saw the only female monarch in the history of China – Empress Wu Zetian (624-705). Wu organised a secret police force and spies across the country, making her one of the most effective – yet popular – monarchs in Chinese history.
