In the long history of China, the Tang Dynasty of China was a dynasty that attracted worldwide attention. It has attracted the attention of the whole world with its open cultural atmosphere, unique social system and developed economic development. One of the most striking is its thriving economy and vibrant business activity.
The Tang Dynasty began in 618 AD and ended in 907, and in these nearly 300 years, China's economy has undergone tremendous development and change. Especially during the reign of Zhenguan (627-649 AD), the national power reached unprecedented heights. At that time, China had a large population and abundant products, and became one of the largest economies in the world.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the system of equalizing land was introduced, which allowed the peasants to have their own land and encouraged them to actively cultivate. At the same time, the government has also improved agricultural technology and introduced new planting methods and technologies to improve the yield and quality of crops. These measures have greatly promoted the development of agricultural production and provided a solid material basis for commercial activities.
The handicrafts of the Tang Dynasty not only enjoyed a good reputation at home, but were also exported overseas. Products such as porcelain and silk are deeply loved by people from all over the world. In addition, the bronze, gold and silver jewelry and other industries were also very prosperous at that time, and the level of craftsmanship had reached a very high level.
In addition, during the reign of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he vigorously built roads and expanded the transportation network. Especially in Chang'an City, a complete transportation system has been established, so that goods can quickly flow from the hands of producers to consumers. This not only facilitates the trading of merchants, but also promotes the prosperity of the market.
Let's talk about the commercial activities of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the number of merchants was huge, and their footprints were all over the country and even overseas. They bought and sold in the market, exchanged what they had and what they had, and formed a bustling commodity exchange market. Due to the convenient transportation, the market size of many cities has been expanding, and it has become a commodity distribution center in the country and even the world.
In addition, the financial industry in the Tang Dynasty was also very developed. As a new form of money, paper money appeared in this era and gradually became popular, which greatly facilitated people's trade exchanges. At the same time, various financial institutions, such as money banks and ticket numbers, also came into being, further promoting the development of the financial system of the Tang Dynasty.
The economic prosperity of the Tang Dynasty benefited from many efforts. Both policy adjustment and scientific and technological progress have injected a powerful impetus into economic development. Behind this is the result of the hard work and wisdom of the Chinese people. It was this spirit that created a great dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and also left a strong mark on the history of the world. Let's look back on this glorious history, feel the great achievements created by the ancient ancestors, and inspire us to continue to move forward on the road in the future!
