The Mid-Life Crisis of the Tang Dynasty

What is middle age? There are heavy burdens on the shoulders and responsibilities in the heart, but the body and energy are gradually declining. This is the case for people. What if it is a dynasty? The fifteenth year of Tianbao, the first year of Zhide, and the first year of Shengwu (756 AD) Three different era names also represent the mid-life crisis of the Tang Dynasty. This year, three emperors appeared on the Central Plains at the same time. This year was also a watershed in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. This year was the beginning of the end of the prosperous Chang'an. During this year, Li Tan, who possessed the soul of future generations, looked at the setting sun in the distant sky, thinking about how to bring the Tang Dynasty back to its prime, and how to make the people of the Tang Dynasty fed and clothed so that they would no longer suffer from the hundreds of years of war.
