Guarding and Co-prosperity: Taiyuan Yin in the Tang Dynasty
About This Novel
This book takes the study of Yin from Taiyuan in the Tang Dynasty as the starting point, examines his administrative setup, job characteristics, and successive officials, reproduces the three-dimensional and vivid political, military, and social scenes of Taiyuan, the northern capital, and explores how the Hedong region became an important channel and hub for the border ethnic groups to move south and integrate, as well as a center for government decrees, cultural dissemination, and moral education on behalf of the imperial court. From the 7th to the 10th century, the Northern Capital had the dual role of guarding the two capitals and being an important town in the mixed agricultural and pastoral zone. A multi-dimensional investigation of it will help reveal the true state of exchanges and integration of ethnic groups in the northwest and the north, and discuss the pros and cons of dynastic border governance.
