Medieval Chinese Society and Culture: Tang Dynasty 618-907, Emperor Tang Taizong (559-649) and Empress Wu
The medieval era in China: the first international experience of Chinese History.
Two important developments mark this experience:
1. internationalization of the Chinese world
Extension all the way to Central Asia
Conversion to Buddhism (in contrast to the ethnically Chinese traditions of Daoism and Confucianism)
2. Continuous fight between Chinese and the Federation of Nomads
This led to the strengthening of the state. As part of this process, the state examinations and the idea of meritocracy were revived. Such bureaucratic development effected other neighboring countries as well such as Vietnam, Korea, Japan and Uygurs.
IN THE TANG PERIOD
Reunified territories
Extension of territories
Incorporation of Buddhism
Development of statecraft that was copied by others (Very much like Rome but much more effectively )
