I think everyone has a different view of who is the most powerful dynasty in Chinese history, so it is easy to dispute! However, there are two dynasties in the history of our country that give us the longest face, the first is the Han Dynasty, and the second is the Tang Dynasty! However, the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is unmatched by successive dynasties, so only the Tang Dynasty can represent the most powerful era in China!
1. The mighty Han Dynasty
The so-called strong prosperity is the country's strong prosperity! "Strong" is manifested in the strength of the military, which has a deterrent effect on neighboring countries and makes them afraid! "Prosperity" is manifested in economic prosperity, the country is rich and the people are strong! The Qin Dynasty in history, although powerful, was not prosperous, the people lived in deep water, the servitude was heavy, and the economy could not be revitalized! Therefore, the Qin Dynasty was strong but not prosperous! After entering the Han Dynasty, under the influence of the Chu-Han dispute, everything was wasted and waited to be revived, whether it was military strength or economy! The Han Dynasty was a threat to the Xiongnu Khanate in the north, and the Han Dynasty was unfavorable to the Xiongnu in battle, and also suffered defeat, so it became afraid of the Xiongnu! The early Han Dynasty was hanged by the Xiongnu, which shows that the national strength is not good, and the economy is not to be mentioned! The Han Dynasty has just established a country and the people need to recuperate, from Han Gaozu to the Han Jing Emperor after the development of 4 generations of monarchs, at the economic level, the country is already very rich! After Emperor Wudi of han succeeded to the throne, in order to test the strength of the Han Dynasty, he began to fight against the Xiongnu! Although the Xiongnu were not annihilated at that time, the Xiongnu had already been crippled by the Han Dynasty and had rushed to the north of the desert, and could no longer threaten the borders of the Han Dynasty! Fearing the Han army, the Xiongnu have been hiding in Tibet and hiding from the Han army! It can be seen that the national strength of the Western Han Dynasty is strong and strong, and it is economically enough to support the Han Dynasty to fight a protracted war of attrition!
In addition to fighting against the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty also incorporated the northern part of the Korean Peninsula into the territory of the Han Dynasty, breaking through Minyue and South Vietnam to the south, and penetrating deep into northern Vietnam. While hollowing out the Western Regions, the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to open up the Silk Road and establish friendly relations and trade exchanges with the people of the Western Regions! However, in his later years, Emperor Wu of Han had a great lack of political shortcomings, thinking that the scourge of witchcraft killed the prince, causing an adverse impact! Due to the long-term foreign war, it has also consumed a lot of national strength! After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after the development of his grandson Emperor Xuan of Han, social harmony, economic prosperity, and the four Yibin obedience, known in history as the "rule of filial piety". During the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, the national strength of the Western Han Dynasty had reached its peak period, surpassing the han wu dynasty! And the Southern Xiongnu also surrendered to the Han Dynasty, only the Northern Xiongnu are still struggling to the death, in fact, that is the credit of the Han Wudi period! Therefore, the Han Dynasty can also be regarded as a powerful dynasty in the history of our country! In addition, the Han Dynasty perished to foreign relatives, and the non-Han Emperor died of corruption, both in the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty! The Chinese Han Dynasty has become synonymous with the Han nation, which is enough to explain the greatness of the Han Dynasty!
2. The mighty Tang Dynasty
Let's look at the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is the second feudal dynasty in China's history to follow the Han Dynasty and go deep into the Western Regions! After the fall of the Han Dynasty, China entered the era of great division, and it was not until the Sui Dynasty that it was unified! However, the Sui Dynasty was as short as the Qin Dynasty! Although the Sui Dynasty unified China's division, the country's economic development and military strength were not enough! Therefore, the Sui Emperor's three conquests of Goryeo failed! Due to the poor economy and the inability to support a large-scale foreign war, the national strength was quickly hollowed out! However, after the fall of the Sui Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty learned its lesson and developed the economy first! After the economy develops well, we will start fighting abroad! After Tang Taizong succeeded to the throne, he also fought against Goryeo many times, including the Turks in the north! The Turkic peoples are similar to the historical Huns, they are all the same strong! Therefore, both the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty faced two powerful opponents! If you are not strong in yourself, then you will be swallowed up by the other party! Therefore, the Tang Dynasty used military strength to prove the greatness of the Tang Dynasty!
Although Tang Taizong used an improper means to sit on the emperor's throne! However, after he became emperor, he was diligent in government and loved the people, and he was a rare enlightened monarch in the history of our country! During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the country was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty of "the rule of Zhenguan" was also created! Tang Taizong succeeded to the throne, the economy was developed, and the country prospered! It opened up its territory to the outside world, attacked the Eastern Turks to the east, and conquered Gaochang, Guizi, and Tuguhun in the western regions, severely damaged Goguryeo, and established the Protectorate of Anxi, which covered the areas of present-day Xinjiang, eastern and southeastern Kazakhstan, all of Kyrgyzstan, eastern Tajikistan, most of Afghanistan, northeastern Iran, eastern half of Turkmenistan, and most of Uzbekistan. Due to the strength of the Tang Dynasty at that time, the Japanese Emperor sent people to the Tang Dynasty to study, and fully accepted the Tang Dynasty culture, known in history as "Dahua Reform", which shows that the cultural influence of the Tang Dynasty has surpassed the Han Dynasty!
After the death of Tang Taizong, the Tang Dynasty also fell into the strange circle of female dictatorship in the Western Han Dynasty, and the two dynasties were extremely similar in history! After Wu Zetian succeeded to the throne and became emperor, the economy of the Tang Dynasty continued to develop, and during Wu Zetian's reign, it was called "Zhenguan Relic" On the basis of Tang Taizong, the Tang Dynasty developed again! After Wu Zetian's death, Tang Xuanzong pushed the Tang Dynasty to another height and opened up the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era"! It can be said that the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era" has surpassed the "rule of filial piety" of the Han Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty Tang Xuanzong Kaiyuan period was the strongest era of the Tang Dynasty, and it was also the stage when China's feudal society reached its peak. After that, the feudal dynasty never had such a prosperous situation again! Therefore, the Tang Dynasty can be called the most powerful era in the history of our country! When Tang Xuanzong was in power, all over the world came to the dynasty, and Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries all came to Chang'an to study! People from Persian, Dashi, Turkic and other countries and nationalities traded and even became officials in Chang'an! Therefore, during the reign of Tang Xuanzong, the national strength was unprecedentedly strong, the social economy was unprecedentedly prosperous, the population also increased by a large margin, and the state's fiscal revenue was stable. It is not an exaggeration to call the Tang Dynasty the most powerful country in the history of our country!
