Making the Tang Dynasty Great Again

There was an eunuch writing about Wenzong before, and now there is another eunuch writing about Wuzong next door. Now the three sons of Mu Zong are all here, haha

Governance in the middle and late Tang Dynasty is different from governance in other dynasties

He dared to conduct a thorough investigation of all the land in the world before even explaining it clearly to the team. The team had not even trained the inner palace, and there was no basic guarantee before directly engaging in the outer palace.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the goal should not be too ambitious. It was enough to pacify the vassal towns, conquer the barbarians, and promote culture. Conquering the world is too ideal and too false

A fake eunuch has stayed with me for almost thirty chapters and is still not dead.

Taking the modern army system and applying it to the ancient army, I'm drunk.

Nowadays, readers' tastes have upgraded. They prefer to read stories that come from the ideological or economic bottom and take advantage of the trend to promote social progress. They are more disgusted and just open the golden finger. Soap, perfume, liquor, industrial products, etc. Are standard in Shuangwen. If they read too much and become boring, it depends on what style the author is preparing. Is it a textual examination of the party or a golden finger with Shuangwen 😥

Well, I don't think the emperor's first step should be to ensure his own safety. Even if you don't clean your inner palace, you won't be afraid of going the same old way.

In the Tang Dynasty, coal was often called "stone" (Shí Tàn), "graphite" or "charcoal stone". People have a very deep understanding of it and know that it is a "stone" that can be burned, and its calorific value is much higher than that of firewood and charcoal. Poet Li Qiao even wrote in his poem "Ink": "Chang'an is divided into coal and Shangdang is knotted with pine hearts." The "carbon" here probably refers to a certain mineral used to grind ink, but it also reflects that the word has entered the field of literati. 2. Main application fields a. Metallurgy and handicraft industry (core applications) This is the most important and extensive application field of coal in the Tang Dynasty. · Iron smelting and casting: Coal burns at a high temperature and lasts a long time, making it an ideal metallurgical fuel. In the iron smelting centers at that time (such as Xingzhou, Xuzhou and other places), archaeological evidence shows that coal was widely used to smelt iron ore to improve furnace temperature and production efficiency, providing guarantee for the manufacture of weapons, agricultural tools and daily iron tools. · Ceramic firing: The ceramic industry in the Tang Dynasty was extremely developed, and the pattern of "green in the south and white in the north" was formed. In the main producing areas of white porcelain in the north (such as Xing kiln and Ding kiln), kiln workers may have used coal as kiln fuel. The stable and high-temperature characteristics of coal fire are conducive to controlling the atmosphere and temperature of porcelain firing and improving the quality of porcelain. Although the exact archaeological evidence is still being explored, academic circles generally believe that the Tang Dynasty was the initial stage of coal-fired ceramics. · Salt production: In salt well areas, boiling brine requires a large amount of fuel, and coal is also one of the important energy choices. · Lime burning: The burning process of lime required in the construction industry also requires high temperature. Coal is a more efficient fuel than firewood. b. Daily life fuels · Heating and cooking: Especially in areas in the north where wood is lacking, coal has become an important fuel for people to use for heating and cooking in winter. In Chang'an, the capital at that time, as well as big cities such as Luoyang and Taiyuan, due to dense population and huge consumption of surrounding forest resources, coal became an effective supplement to firewood and charcoal. · Social class: The use of coal for heating may be more popular among the middle and lower classes, as aristocrats and wealthy families may be more inclined to use smokeless and more "elegant" charcoal. 3. Mining and transportation · Mining: Coal mining technology in the Tang Dynasty was still in its infancy, mainly digging shallow coal wells or using open-pit seedlings. Miners use simple tools such as iron picks and hammers to dig. The mine's drainage and ventilation facilities are also relatively simple, and the depth and scale of mining are limited. · Transportation: Coal transportation mainly relies on waterways and land routes. Near coal-producing areas, short-distance transportation is mainly carried out by horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts. If it is close to a river (such as Fenshui River, Weishui River, etc.), Coal can be more economically transported to consuming cities by ship. This promoted industrial development in cities along the river. 4. Documentary and archaeological evidence · Documentary records: · "Yuanhe County Chronicles" is an important geographical chronicle of the Tang Dynasty. It records that Shanxi, Hebei and other places "produced coal" and clearly pointed out the origin of coal. · The Japanese monk Ennin recorded in the "Notes of a Pilgrimage to the Tang Dynasty" that he saw "coal all over the mountains, and people from various states near and far came to burn it", which vividly described the common scene of coal mining and use in Shanxi at that time. · Archaeological discoveries: · Relics of coal burning (such as cinders and ashes) were found in the Tang Dynasty strata at the Huangye Tang Sancai kiln site in Gongyi City, Henan Province and the Yaozhou kiln site in Huangbao Town, Tongchuan, Shaanxi Province, providing physical evidence for the use of coal in the ceramic industry in the Tang Dynasty. · Coal was unearthed from the Tang Dynasty Tomb in Astana, Xinjiang, which shows that coal is well known and used by people even in border areas.

If you can guide those Tantric, Zen, and Pure Land Sects to go to Tianzhu to obtain Buddhist scriptures through Lhasa in Tubo, which is closer, let the Ministry of Rites organize three delegations to send delegations to Tianzhu to obtain Buddhist scriptures, send thousands of monks to Tubo and eat them up 😁😁Finally, let the monks go to Tianzhu, Tubo, and Central Asia. Let's go and fight against the Dashi Cult. What do you think 😜😜
