Live broadcast: Take our ancestors to see modern China

[Every gathering in the Tang Dynasty was inseparable from music and wine, but the real protagonist was poetry.

That is the language most suitable for the Tang Empire.

{The beauty rolled up the pearl curtain, and sat with a frown on her face.

But seeing the tears wet, I don't know who I hate.

—————Li Bai's "Complaint"}

Writing poetry became a popular fashion in the Tang Empire. Poems that were passed on by word of mouth and known to everyone were the best social business cards.

The poets of the Tang Dynasty were shining stars, and their names, which are constantly mentioned and missed by later generations, are circulating in the streets and alleys of the empire.

Poets interacted with each other through poetry and became famous. They often recited poems and drank together all night long.

Some are sleeping drunk, some are awake.

The beautiful words in the dream just float down to the human world. 】

Everyone thought of the countless poems by Tang Dynasty poets and nodded. Indeed, economic prosperity was accompanied by the transmission and advancement of culture.

Everyone in the Tang Dynasty could recite poetry, which seems to overlap with the fact that everyone in later generations can read books.

After all, it is the country's strength that makes such a grand occasion possible.

[The royal family of the Tang Empire originated from the Guanlong military group and had Hu blood. The intersection and integration of multiple ethnic groups made people naturally open to accepting all kinds of things.

The same is true in marriage, be open and enlightened.

The Tang Law on Household Marriage contains a special clause for divorce by agreement, which means that both parties voluntarily divorce, which is called "divorce by peace."

It is not just the husband who files for divorce; wives also file for divorce from time to time.

It was not considered a loss of chastity for a woman to remarry, and women in the Tang Dynasty did not feel ashamed to marry multiple times.

In such an era and social atmosphere, women in the Tang Dynasty actively participated in activities at all levels of society, and many women were active in production fields such as agriculture, handicrafts, and commerce.

They not only create wealth for the country, but also bring considerable benefits to themselves and their families.

In the powerful Tang Empire, the flow of materials had been very developed, the country was stable and prosperous. With the capital Chang'an as the center, there was not only the Silk Road to the west, but also land and sea routes to the east and south. The route later called the Maritime Silk Road had been open for a long time.

The eastern route crossed the sea, and Tang and Japan had constant traffic and exchanges of people and goods. Japan fully accepted the culture of the Tang Dynasty, which also connected Japanese culture to the Chinese cultural circle to a considerable extent.

To the south, along the South China Sea islands and the Malay Peninsula into the Indian Ocean, you can connect with the Arab world, go directly to the Red Sea, and even as far as the coast of Africa.

There used to be many foreign merchants doing business in Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Yangzhou. The imperial policy explicitly encouraged foreign businessmen to come to China and protected their legitimate rights and interests.

The Tang Dynasty also opened customs at major ports. Once the goods were taxed and registered, they could not only be circulated throughout the country, but also enjoy loss insurance and foreign trade tax. It was an important source of revenue for the Tang Dynasty treasury.

The military and political institutions and troops stationed in the Western Regions could even rely on commercial taxes and military grain storage to be self-sufficient.

From the court to the people, from the financial resources received by individuals to the state, the Tang Dynasty undoubtedly achieved the ultimate.

The emperors of other dynasties looked at the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and lamented that all of this was traceable. Policies that benefited the country and the people were implemented one after another, officials performed their duties, and the people worked diligently and cooperatively.

Looking at the ships on the sea, the emperors took out the drawn world map and compared it with the sailing routes described by Tianmu. It was such a huge area, and they wondered if there were many good things.

The First Emperor thought that the laws of the Qin Dynasty were strict, and most of the construction work was ongoing. With so many places, it would not be impossible to invite some people back to work after the shipbuilding experiment was successful. Ying Zheng was thinking about the feasibility of the matter.

The emperors were jealous of the maritime and land Silk Roads. Where there was profit, there was trade, and it could also support military expenditures. It was really a big business.

Liu Che looked at the places that had appeared before. He said, "I want the Western Regions, I want the Protectorate, and I want the Xiongnu territory too. I want all of them!" On the sea route, Liu Che immediately ordered people to build ships. At this moment, Liu Che's eagerness to expand his territory reached its peak.

Zhu Yuanzhang issued a maritime ban because the Japanese pirates (mainly composed of failed pirates, ronin and merchants) were rampant in coastal areas and it was impossible to eliminate the threat. He could only adopt a maritime ban policy to restrict maritime activities and reduce harassment by the Japanese pirates.

Moreover, agriculture is the most important, and economic commodities, trade economy, etc. are secondary. In addition, at this time of internal and external troubles, for various reasons, the only feasible way is to implement a maritime ban policy.

Zhu Biao was watching his father's worried look and naturally knew what was going on. He could only comfort him and said that now that the Ming Dynasty had been unified, everything had to be dealt with one by one.

He believed that with the Sky Curtain, all dynasties had corrected their mistakes, and with future warnings, they could avoid some fatal mistakes.

When the Tang Dynasty mentioned Japan, it was very angry. It learned so much culture and skills from them, but in the future it became a biting wild dog that attempted to destroy China.

Don’t you even check whether their ancestors allow it?

They have recorded all the humiliations inflicted on future generations in their little notebooks, and now they are bullying our descendants. I wonder if we won’t fight with their ancestors.

If the descendants are not taught, then the ancestors will be blamed.

There was a group of people, their white hair and dusty faces, but their eyes were fixed on the prosperous scene of the Tang Dynasty on the screen, they were filled with grief and shouted: "Your Majesty Taizong!"

[The power accumulated by history for thousands of years was ignited, illuminating the majestic and beautiful sky and earth. This land nourished by the Yellow River and the Yangtze River gave birth to the flourishing Chinese civilization during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It experienced ups and downs in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and went through the division and integration of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was re-unified through the Sui Dynasty, and finally matured and blossomed in the Tang Dynasty.

Under the clear and sparkling dome, the Tang Empire was operating poetically.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty is like a feast of civilization that will remain forever in history. Behind it will be another thousand years of China.

The world is full of fireworks, and the mountains and rivers are vast. 】

The proud and prosperous Tang Dynasty was nothing more than this. The Tang Dynasty was the spiritual harbor of the people of the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty that they would always love.

Other dynasties also understand why the Tang Dynasty seems to be prosperous forever in later generations, because its glory is too dazzling, like a bright moon shining forever.

"The Tang Dynasty is glorious, and Heaven has blessed all nations."

"When mentioning the Tang Dynasty, the first person that comes to mind is Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, and the Tang Dynasty's high self-confidence and inclusiveness are an indelible glory."
