One of the most illustrious and creative eras in China's history, the Tang dynasty flourished for almost three centuries, from AD 618 to 906. The conquest of much of Central Asia and Korea, followed by a period of peace and prosperity, produced a highly cosmopolitan empire: philosophy and customs became more sophisticated, an efficient administrative system developed, printing appeared for the first time, and the arts flourished.In Tang China, Edmund Capon provides an exciting and authoritative insight into the traditions, art and beliefs of this great civilization.
