Survival Record of the Disabled Tang Dynasty

In the second year of Qianhua, Zhao Xuan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, establishing a new dynasty named "Yongding", ending nearly 30 years of chaos that began with the Huangchao Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty. He stood on the tower of Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an, looking at the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers under his feet. He looked back on his life from a refugee outside Bianzhou City to a 95-year-old man. He set the national policy of "resting with the people, suppressing feudal towns, and revitalizing China" to open a new era.
