A History of the Tang Dynasty That Will Make You Addicted After Reading One Page: Elegy of the Empire

The Founding of the Tang Dynasty: Like a bloody and magnificent war record Some people made all preparations for their grandiose undertakings, but unexpectedly died in the middle; Some people took advantage of the historical trend to rise up, but were beaten to death on the beach by the waves behind; Some people retreat to their countryside in the torrent of troubled times, but they are unwilling to be ordinary and want to dominate the world again... The Women's Army with flags waving outside Chang'an City, the King of Qin's breaking formation music playing in Queshu Valley, the black armored cavalry charging with thousands of horses in front of Hulao Pass, the Tang Dynasty boat masters competing with thousands of sails under Baidi City... These are all majestic melodies that belong only to the Tang Dynasty! The rise of the early Tang Dynasty: like a bright and bloody tragedy Outside Xingyang City, on the bank of the Yellow River, Li Yuan, the prefect of Xingyang, was concentrating on worshiping Buddha in the Zen courtyard. Later, he went to Dahai Temple to pray. After that, the army and horses were ruthless and the world changed. The battle for the right to inherit the throne, the Xuanwu Revolution, and Emperor Gaozu's retreat from Zen, have changed the trajectory of countless people's lives. The Xuanwu Gate Incident left a bottomless scar on the Tang Dynasty that seems to never heal. It reminds every generation of emperors how cruel the struggle for power is. Every generation does not want to repeat the same mistakes, but there are people in every generation who repeat cruel and bloody struggles. Can they escape from the Xuanwu Gate's curse? Let's take a look at this feast in the Tang Palace! The rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty: like a gorgeous and magnificent poem There are thousands of cars and horses on the sky street outside Zhuque Gate, and people are jostling shoulder to shoulder and smiling happily; Thousands of houses are laid out like a chess game, with lights lit at night; On the night of the Lantern Festival, singing and dancing last all night, and lights and fireworks merge into a sea of stars; In the flowering season of spring, red flowers and green willows can be seen everywhere. The city of Chang'an under the prosperous Tang Dynasty was so beautiful. The people were rich and happy, the country was strong and vast, everything was going smoothly and prospering. However, all the grand scenes of this era will be destroyed and collapsed one by one before our eyes... Late Tang Dynasty: Like a long and profound ballad The peaceful and prosperous age was nothing but a castle in the air. The An-Shi Rebellion destroyed all the good things, and the glitz of the prosperous age dispersed like bubbles. In the chaos of war, who witnessed the splendor of the prosperous age with their own eyes, and then grew up with dust on their face while crying? Zhaozhao had the Tang Dynasty, and God provided for all nations. The king came to rule the world, and all the nations came to court. Generation after generation of monarchs and ministers kept fighting hard, trying to recreate the glory of the Tang Dynasty. However, every time the foundation was built, it disappeared in the blink of an eye. The elegy of the empire makes people feel so sad that they can only leave a sigh.
