At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, raised an army in Jinyang in 617, and the following year he was proclaimed emperor to establish the Tang Dynasty, with the capital chang'an. After Emperor Taizong of Tang succeeded to the throne, he created the rule of Zhenguan and laid the foundation for the Sheng Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozong of Tang inherited the legacy of Zhenguan to create the "Rule of Yonghui". In 690, Wu Zetian changed the name of the country to Zhou,
After the Shenlong Revolution in 705, the Tang Dynasty was restored. After Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ascended the throne, he created a prosperous Kaiyuan dynasty and enabled the Tang Dynasty to reach its full glory. In the last year of Tianbao, the population of the country reached about 80 million. After the Anshi Rebellion, there were successive phenomena of feudal division and eunuch monopoly, and the national strength gradually declined. After the reign of Tang Xianzongyuan and Zhongxing, Tang Wuzong Huichang Zhongxing and Tang Xuanzong Dazhong, the country was rejuvenated. The Huangchao Rebellion, which broke out in 878, destroyed the foundations of Tang rule. In 907, the general Zhu Wen usurped Tang, and the Tang Dynasty collapsed.
The Tang Dynasty had an unprecedented territory, from the Sea of Japan in the east, to Annam in the south, to the Aral Sea in the west, and to Lake Baikal in the north, and was the first unified dynasty in China since the Qin Dynasty to not repair the Great Wall of Hu.
After the Tang Dynasty defeated the Eastern Turks and Xue Yantuo, Tang Taizong was revered as the Heavenly Khan by the Siyi tribes. He also used the bondage system to recruit turkic, Uighur, Tiele, Khitan, Jingjing, Murong Wei and other ethnic groups to attack the enemy countries, and let Japan, Nanzhao, Silla, Bohai and other vassal states learn their own culture and systems, and a situation of all nations coming to the dynasty appeared.

After Tang
The Later Tang Dynasty (923-936) was a feudal dynasty established by Li Cunxun (xu) of the Shatuo tribe during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, with the capital at Luoyang (present-day Luoyang, Henan), passing on the second and fourth emperors for 14 years.
Later Tang Zhuangzong Li Cunxun
In 896, Hedong Jiedu made Li Keyong the King of Jin, and from then on he divided Hedong.
In 907, Zhu Quanzhong usurped The Tang Dynasty and established Later Liang, and the State of Jin became the largest separatist force in the north, and regarded the Liang Dynasty as a leap dynasty, still serving the Tang Dynasty Zhengshuo. In 908, Li Keyong died, and his son Li Cunxun took the throne of Jin. In 923, Li Cunxun proclaimed himself emperor in Wei Prefecture (魏州, in present-day Daming County, Handan City, Hebei Province), changed his name to Yuan Tongguang, and continued to use the state name "Tang", and promoted Wei Prefecture to The Xingtang Prefecture of Tokyo.
At the end of the same year, Li Cunxun destroyed Hou Liang and made the capital Luoyang, known in history as Later Tang; in 925 he destroyed Former Shu Wang Yan; in 928 Nanping Gao congcongzhi was attached to him; in 930, Southern Chu Ma Xisheng was attached; in 936, Shi Jingyao attacked Luoyang at the expense of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, saying that the emperor was established after the Jin Dynasty, and Later Tang perished.
The Later Tang Dynasty had a vast territory, mainly controlling the northern region of China, bordering the coast to the east, Longyou and Sichuan shu to the west, and the Great Wall to the north, including Youyun Sixteen Prefectures and the Southern Yue Jianghan. The Later Tang Dynasty was the most extensive dynasty that ruled during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
Li Ke used his original surname Zhu Xie, and his father was the chief of the Shatuo tribe.
It was pacified at the end of the Tang Dynasty
Yellow Nest Uprising
The process was given the surname Li by the emperor because of his military achievements. therefore
After Li Cunxun destroyed Zhu Wen and Hou Liang, in order to show that he was the Tang Dynasty Zhengshuo, he took "Tang" as the national name, and the history called it Later Tang.
Southern Tang
Southern Tang Dynasty (937–975) was a Chinese poet from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period by Li Fu (
biàn
The dynasty established in the Jiangnan region, Dingdu Jiangning (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), passed on the third emperor and two lords, enjoyed thirty-eight years of the country, and was the largest regime in the Ten Kingdoms.
Southern Tang Dynasty Liezu Li Fu
In the seventh year of Southern Wu Taihe (935), Emperor Rui of Southern Wu made Xu Zhihuan the King of Qi and assigned ten prefectures, including Shengzhou and Runzhou, to the State of Qi.
In the first year of the ShengYuan Dynasty (937), Xu Zhihuan established the State of Qi (徐奇). In October of the same year, Xu Zhihuan was proclaimed emperor by Zen, the state name "Qi", changed to Yuan Shengyuan; in the third year of Shengyuan (939), Xu Zhihuan restored the surname of Li and changed his name to Fu, claiming to be the fourth grandson of Li Ke, the son of Tang Xianzong, and changed the country name to "Tang", which was historically called "Southern Tang". After Li Fu ascended the throne, he continued to protect the border and the people, and under relatively stable conditions, social production developed. Compared with the simultaneous division of the kingdoms, the Southern Tang Dynasty was strong and strong. Due to the revival of science and the construction of schools, the culture is also particularly prosperous.
In the third year of Baoda (945), the Southern Tang took advantage of the civil unrest in Fujian, sent troops to destroy Fujian, and captured Wang Yanzheng. In the ninth year of Baoda (951), the Southern Tang took advantage of the civil unrest in Southern Chu and sent troops to destroy Chu, and Ma Xichong surrendered. However, soon, the chu homeland was seized by Zhou Xingfeng, and the Southern Tang failed to consolidate the occupied Chu land. In the first year of Zhongxing (958), Li Jing went to the imperial title, claimed the title of lord of the country, and declared himself a vassal to Later Zhou. In the fourth year of Song Kaibao (971), Li Yu removed the "Tang" state name and changed his name to "Lord of Jiangnan", and asked the Song court to remove the courtesy of not directly naming him, which was approved by Song Taizu.
In the eighth year of Song Kaibao (975), Song soldiers captured Jinling, Li Yufeng surrendered, and the Jiangnan regime officially collapsed.
At its peak, the Southern Tang Dynasty encompassed thirty-five prefectures, roughly spanning parts of present-day Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Fujian, Hubei, and Hunan provinces. With a population of about five million, it has made a significant contribution to the economic development of southern China.

It can be seen that the Li clan of the Tang Dynasty originated in Guanlong; the Li clan of the Later Tang Dynasty came from ethnic minorities, and the Li kings of the Southern Tang Dynasty claimed to be descendants of the Li clan of the Tang Dynasty, but their authenticity was questionable, so there was no real inheritance relationship between the three Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, the Later Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Dynasty.
