Descrizione:

- As one of the most important dynasties in Chinese history, the Tang Dynasty was established by Emperor Gaozu - Li Yuan, with Chang'an (Xian today) as the capital.
- The Tang era is considered the greatest age for Chinese poetry and art. Woodblock printing saw great development with the world’s earliest dated printed book, Diamond Sutra, being created in the Tang era. Landscape painting matured with the most prominent artists being Han Gan, Zhang Xuan, and Zhou Fang.
Tang’s golden age ended with the An-Shi Rebellion. Although the dynasty was able to recover partially, it could never reach its former heights.
- During the Huang Chao Rebellion (874–884), the capital Chang’an was captured and the Tang Emperor had to flee. Tang Dynasty’s rule ended in 907 when Zhu Wen, a salt smuggler who became a military governor, deposed Emperor Ai, the last emperor of Tang. Tang dynasty ruled China for 274 years.
