찬란했던 당나라 일대기: 피로 시작해 눈물로 끝난 289년 당나라 영광과 파멸의 역사 풀스토리

Chang'an, the world's largest international city with a population of one million; the Tang Dynasty, the "Rome of the East," which perfected the standard of East Asian civilization amidst the countless merchants traversing the Silk Road. The ambition of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, who beheaded his own brothers and usurped the throne in blood; Empress Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in China's 5,000-year history to ascend the throne and command the world; the tragedy of Emperor Xuanzong, who, blinded by the peerless beauty Yang Guifei, plunged the empire into the flames of hell; and finally, General Gao Xianzhi's Battle of Talas, which transformed civilization, and the Huang Chao Rebellion, which severed the empire's lifeline. We present the full story of the Tang Dynasty's colossal rise and fall over 289 years, beginning at the peak of its brilliant golden prosperity and vanishing into a wretched ashes. We hope you have a comfortable and informative time today. ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Intro: Chang'an, an International City of 1 Million, and the Rome of the East 01:20 Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, and the 'Rule of Zhenguan' 10:55 Emperor Gaozong of Tang and the Silla-Tang War 20:36 Empress Wu Zetian and the Bloody Turmoil of Wu 30:55 The Rebellion of Wei Shu and the Accession of Emperor Xuanzong 40:11 General Gao Xianzhi and the Battle of Talas 49:53 Emperor Xuanzong, Yang Guifei, and the An Lushan Rebellion 01:01:00 The Intrusion of Tibet and the Era of Fanzhen 01:16:08 Emperor Xianzong of Tang and the Ganlu Incident 01:26:36 The Huang Chao Rebellion: The End of the 300-Year Empire 01:37:01 Epilogue: Questions Left by the 300-Year Empire 📚 References and Historical Sources • Sima Guang, Zizhi Tongjian Tang Qi • Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi, New Book of Tang / Liu Qiu, Old Book of Tang • Shigeo Ishikawa, History of the Tang Empire: The Rise and Fall of Chang'an • Chen Yinque, Essays on the Political History of the Tang Dynasty • Charles Patrick Fitzgerald, Empress Wu Zetian and the Intrigues of the Tang Imperial Family
