Tang Dynasty
-The Tang Dynasty ruled from about 618 until 907
|
One thing that set the Tang Dynasty apart from other dynasties was that it opened its borders to foreign countries. This foreign influence helped secure peaceful trade routes among other lands and expand the economy. Art and Literature flourished during this time period. The Tang Dynasty also used a system of examinations to appoint court officials.
"Marked by strong and benevolent rule, successful diplomatic relationships, economic expansion, and a cultural efflorescence of cosmopolitan style, Tang China emerged as one of the greatest empires in the medieval world." -Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History Book |
