what caused the fall of the tang dynasty?

Answer 1

The turning point came after the An Lushan rebellion, which destroyed the prosperity that took years to be established. It left the dynasty weakened, and during its remaining years the Tang never regained its glory days of the 7th and 8th century. The Tang were eventually driven out of Central Asia, and imperial China did not regain ground in that region until the Mongol led regime during the Yuan Dynasty. A legacy of the An Lushan rebellion were the gradual rise of regional military governors (jiedushi) which slowly came to challenge the power of the central government. The Tang government relied on these governors and their armies for protection and to suppress locals that would take up arms against the government. In return, the central government would acknowledge the rights of these governors to maintain their army, collect taxes and even to pass on their title hereditarily.

Near the end of the Tang Dynasty, regional military governors took advantage of their increasing power and began to function more like independent regimes on their own right. At the same time, natural causes such as droughts and famine due to internal corruptions and incompetent emperors contributed to the rise of a series of rebellions. The Huang Chao rebellion of the 9th century, which resulted in the sacking of both Chang'an and Luoyang was the most destructive and took over 10 years to suppress. Although the rebellion was dismissed by the Tang, it never really recovered from that crucial blow, weakening it for the future military powers to take over. In 907, after almost 300 years in power, the dynasty was ended when one of the military governors, Zhu Wen, deposed the last emperor and took the throne for himself which thereby inaugurated the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period.

Answer 5

3. Siddharta Gautama was a prince who left a life of riches and grandeur, at age 40, to seek truth and enlightenment. Buddha means "the enlightened". 4.Nirvana is the ultimate state of consciousness where one is supposedly "at one" with all and everything OR apparently in NOTHINGNESS (no ego, no self, but cosmic consciousness). Moksha is the process of the final stage of liberation from the cycle of re-incarnation . . . towards nirvana state. 5.Buddhism teaches self-discovery, inner search and self-improvement towards selflessness and compassion and thereby attaining peace and contentment. With such doctrines as foundation, there is no discrimination, segregation, class distinction or attachment to worldly things and hence it attracted followers from all caste systems and women (women were considered inferior in ancient India). It was the first movement/religion that advocated equal rights for women. 6 During the Qin Dynasty (circa 220 BCE), Buddhism had already spread to China via the Silk Route. Through the subsequent following few dynasties like Han through Tang dynasties, Buddhist texts were translated and became more widespread into Korean and subsequently into Japan, Thailand, etc. 7. 4 noble truths state the truth of why there are sufferings and the 8-fold paths are ways for one to avoid/minimise sufferings through the practice of 8-fold paths. 8. The only common thread in Buddhism and Hinduism (as far as I know) is karma. 12. From earliest known dynasties, even in Song and Tang, women's role had been more or less equal to that of men. The first Chinese Empress, Wu Tze-tian, was from Tang Dynasty. Mu Lan was a lady general of a much earlier era. Politically, in ancient China, Chinese women were not dogmatically nor politically suppressed as inferior. In Chinese culture, the yin and yang (feminine and masculine) stood as equal and oppositie. 13. Foot-binding was practised by a very minority of the population in ancient China (China was/is diverse with currently 56 ethnic groups and there could be more in ancient China). It was believed by some that small-foot was more attractive and lady-like, especially one with small-foot could walk more sexily. 14. Golden Ages as overall, those were the periods of great affluence, high literacy rates and freedom (in everything including religious beliefs, *China had since ancient time practised religious freedom) and advancements in arts and culture. 15. Sino-centrism was because China had for the last 2000 years considered itself the most powerful and militarily dominant and the center of the world. The name of China is Chinese character is zhongguo meaning center country. The emperor was tian zi (son of heaven) and tian xia (under heaven) was ruled by him - thus it was considered that all humans were under his domain.
