A friend asked if Datang was going to die. Funny reply.

It's just a groan. The demise of the Tang Dynasty is like a 70-year-old man dying. This sentence is more like the Sui Dynasty.

The economic prosperity, social stability and strong national strength in the early Tang Dynasty led to the prosperity of "Zhenguan Rule" and "Kaiyuan Prosperity", and even reached the peak of China feudal society. However, in the later period, political corruption and various social contradictions were acute. With the Anshi Rebellion as the turning point, the Tang Dynasty went into decline. In the process of decline, the rule of the Tang Dynasty was further weakened by the local separatist regime and the dictatorship of the central eunuch. At the end of the year, after the heavy blow of the peasant war, the Tang Dynasty was dying until its demise in 907.

Reasons for the demise of the Tang Dynasty:

After the Huang Chao Uprising, the Tang Dynasty existed in name only. By then, "counties will be self-sufficient, and it will always be absolutely endowed; The buffer region was abolished, not from the imperial court. " And "the decline of the royal family made it impossible to go abroad. "The Tang Dynasty became an empty shell. After the peasant uprising, there were only a dozen buffer zones left.

In the north: Xuanwu Ambassador (Zhu Wen), Hedong Ambassador Li Keyong, Fengxiang Ambassador Li and Lu Long Ambassador Liu Rengong. In the south: Qian Liu, our envoy to Zhenhai, Zhejiang; Yang Xingmi, Deputy Ambassador from Huainan, Jiangsu; And our ambassador Wang Jian from Xichuan, Sichuan. Among these festivals, Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong are the strongest.

In the first year of Longji (889), after Zhu Quanzhong defeated Qin Zongquan in Henan, his power increased greatly. In the third year of Guanghua (900), Liu Rengong was defeated, and "all towns in Hebei are loyal to the spring". Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong fought for many years to expand their territory and control the Tang Dynasty. Two years later (902), Zhu Quanzhong defeated Li Keyong and ruled the north for a period of time.

In the small court of the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs and courtiers fought endlessly. In the year of Guangfu (90 1), eunuch Han Quanhai colluded with Fengxiang to save our time, while Li and Prime Minister Cui Che colluded and fought with each other. Three years later (903), Li was defeated and controlled. Cui Yin led Zhu Quanzhong into Beijing, killing hundreds of eunuchs, leaving only 30 old and weak people to mop up, and the eunuch power was eradicated.

In the first year of God bless (904), Zhu Quanzhong killed Cui Yin, the prime minister, and forced Tang Zhaozong to move to Luoyang. In August of this year, Tang Zhaozong was killed, and his ninth son, 13-year-old Li Zhu (chù, ù), was made a puppet, that is, mourning the emperor. The following year, Zhu Quanzhong killed more than 30 courtiers, including Cui Shu and Cui Yuan, and threw them into the Yellow River to reduce the resistance of his generation to claim the title of emperor. God bless you for four years (907), abolished, proclaimed himself emperor, and was named Liang (known in history). At this point, after 2/kloc-0 emperors, the Tang Dynasty perished in 290, and history entered the Five Dynasties.
