History of China Part 6

from Blind History · host Blind History with Josh Barry

@Asmr-Blind-HistoryExplore how the Tang dynasty rose to unmatched cultural and political heights—then fractured under rebellion, regionalism, and fiscal strain. This video traces Tang foundations from Li Yuan and Taizong, the thriving cosmopolitan capital Chang’an, the Tang Code and imperial examinations, military expansion into the Tarim Basin, and the cultural flowering of poetry, art, and religious pluralism. Key turning points include the An Lushan Rebellion, the rise of jiedushi (regional military governors), the 845 anti‑Buddhist persecution, and the dynasty’s collapse into the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Perfect for history buffs and students seeking a concise, source‑informed overview.
