Description: Rise and Fall of Tang Empire/Dynasty (618–907 CE) Tang Empire was an imperial dynasty of China,regardedas one of the high point in Chinese civilization, and a golden age of cosmopolitan culture.The Tang capital at Chang'an (present-day Xi'an) was the most populous city in the world in its day. With its large population base, the dynasty was able to raise professional and conscripted armies of hundreds of thousands of troops to contend with nomadic powers in dominating Inner Asia and the lucrative trade-routes along the Silk Road toward Islamic Caliphate and Kingdoms in India. Various kingdoms and states paid tribute to the Tang court, while the Tang also conquered or subdued several regions which it directly or indirectly controlled through a protectorate system. Besides political hegemony, the Tang also exerted a powerful cultural influence over neighboring East Asian states of the era such as those in Japan (Yamato) and Korea (Silla, Baekje & Goguryeo).
