12.1 Tang and Song China During the Tang and Song dynasties, China experiences an era of prosperity and technological innovation

The Tang Dynasty Expands China Brief Reign of the Sui Dynasty Sui Dynasty, established by Wendi, lasts from 581 to 618. Main accomplishment: completing the Grand Canal, which expands trade. Forced labor, high taxes, lead to revolt; Sui emperor is assassinated in 618.

Tang Rulers Create a Powerful Empire Tang Dynasty (618-907) begun by brilliant emperor Tang Taizong.

Wu Zhao—only women in China to assume title of emperor. Tang rulers expand and unify the empire, and strengthen the government.

Scholar-Officials Tang rulers revive civil service examination system. Theoretically, exams are open to all men, even commoners. Practically, only rich can afford necessary education to take exam. Growth of bureaucracy cuts power of nobles.

The Tang Lose Power Tang rulers increase taxes in mid-700s, causing hardship. Attacks on empire increase; in 907 the last Tang emperor is killed.

Song Dynasty Restores China Turmoil Followed by Strong Rule In 960, Taizu reunites China, and proclaims Song Dynasty (960-1279). Song rulers unable to recapture lands lost in the west and north. In 1100s, Jurchen people arise in Manchuria and set up their own empire. In 1127, Song rulers are forced south; build new capital at Hangzhou. Southern Song empire lasts from 1127 to 1279.

An Era of Prosperity and Innovation Growth Population doubles during Tang and Song Dynasties to 100 million. China becomes the most populous country in the world.

Science and technology Chinese invent gunpowder, porcelain, mechanical clock, paper money. Movavable type—blocks of individual characters—makes printing easier. In mathematics, Chinese develop the use ofr negative numbers.

Agriculture Advances in farming contribute to population growth. Main advance: new strain of rice that produces two crops a year (Champa rice).

Trade and Foreign Contacts In early Tang period, trade with the west was over the Silk Road. During Tang decline, Chinese depend more on ocean trade routes. Trade stretches from Japan to Southeast Asia, India, Africa. Trade helps Buddhism spread.

A Golden Age of Poetry and Art Tang period produces great poetry, including works by Li Bo, and Tu Fu. Song period known for brilliant painting.

Changes in Chinese Society Levels of Society Power of noble families fades. Wealthy scholar-officials form new upper class, called the gentry. Urban middle class below gentry in social structure

The Status of Women Status of women always lower than men in China. The status falls even lower during Tang and Song periods. Foot binding of upper-class girls becomes a new custom.
