Taking the vast East Eurasian world as a stage, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the two hundred and ninety-year history of the Tang Dynasty, the world empire. The Tang Dynasty, which began with the chaos of the Sui Dynasty, was a great empire with global influence that ruled over agricultural, nomadic, and oasis civilizations in a decade or so, when the Tang Emperor was honored as the "Heavenly Khan" after he conquered the Eastern Turkestan and subdued the other major Chinese groups and territories. The empire continued to expand and flourish until the Anshi Rebellion, when it took a sharp turn for the worse and embarked on a long road of transformation.
