0 1 friends with poems
The Tang Dynasty was an era of poetry, and poetry was as casual as singing today. At that time, you had to write poems to make friends, see the scenery, get together and say goodbye ... so great poets like Li Bai and Du Fu became national idols of that era.
"Oh, how can I solemnly bow and scrape to high-ranking people and people in high positions? No one will suffer from seeing an honest face! " Although Li Bai is worthy of deep friendship, he is inevitably "arrogant". Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, wrote poems, and Yang Guifei dared to grind ink, while Gao Lishi took off his boots. If you are lucky enough to meet Li Bai, you must ask him to write a poem, sign it by the way, and say that he is a friend of the boss when he comes back.
Of course, besides Li Bai, it is also a good choice to find Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Li Shangyin and other second great poets. Du Fu cares about the country and the people, Bai Juyi cares about the sufferings of the people, and Li Shangyin satirizes the powerful people of the current dynasty and is full of positive energy. But one thing needs to be prepared. It is said that such people drink a lot, so don't drink too much when you meet them.
02 guard the border
"The desert is lonely and straight, and the long river falls in yen." Soldiers in the Tang Dynasty took pains to fight in the distance, and their hooves crossed the western regions and deserts. A small country on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau offended the Tang Dynasty, so Gao Xianzhi, the general of the conference semifinals, led his troops over the snow-capped mountains of more than 4,000 meters, explaining the slogan "whoever is strong in Han Dynasty will be punished far away".
In this era of entrepreneurship, wars emerge one after another. The Tang Dynasty was indeed a powerful faction, fighting with Japan in Baijiangkou of the Korean Peninsula, offering tribute to nomadic people in the Mongolian Plateau, and crossing the snow-capped mountains in the western regions to clean up unruly small countries and small laws. Gao Xianzhi loves war and wanders too far. Finally, it was defeated by the Arab army in the battle of Nero in 75 1 year.
It is precisely because of this that later novelists invented stories such as Xue Dongzheng, Western Expedition, Command and Anti-Tang, which won the audience's love. In a word, all the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were high-spirited and high-spirited, and even fought to the death for the king.
In the TV series The Legend of Heroes in Sui and Tang Dynasties, the army of the Tang Dynasty wiped out the East Turkistan, conquered the Korean Peninsula, explored the western regions, and established the Duhu government. In 669 AD, the territory of the Tang Dynasty reached its peak, controlling the inland, Mobei and the western regions. Since then, during the period of Wu Zetian and Tang Xuanzong, although the territory has shrunk, the population actually controlled has increased, especially the control of the Heilongjiang River Basin in Northeast China.
03 take the imperial examination.
In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was implemented, and you can become an official after passing the examination, but the admission rate is too low, which is equivalent to entering Tsinghua Peking University now. However, there is always a dream. What if they come true? To this end, we should be familiar with the outline and review it in a targeted manner, especially the strokes should be written well.
If you are not careful, remember to inscribe in Chang 'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda. When I was too excited, I put on a big red flower and rode around the city, feeling what "the spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease and I watch Chang 'an flowers all day". However, to be an official, you should not forget your roots, remember to be honest and self-disciplined and be worthy of the people.
In modern times, there were military schools and special students in sports, but it was not until Wu Zetian's time that martial arts was offered. Wu Zetian called the champion of martial arts into the "Luoyang garrison" to enrich the guards.
However, the requirements for selecting officials in the prosperous Tang Dynasty were too high. Need knowledge, background, value and experience, all of which are indispensable. Hey, handsome people are very popular at any time!
Delicious food makes you intoxicated.
People in the Tang Dynasty regarded obesity as beauty. According to legend, when Yang Guifei sat on the summer mat in the palace on a hot day, her fat filled all the gaps in the summer mat. At that time, the food in the Central Plains, Jiangnan and the Western Regions was mouth-watering. However, although the food is good, don't be greedy. When you gain weight, you will inevitably be troubled by your little brother. Men are not afraid. If they eat too much, they should take part in horseback riding, archery and cuju.
The rapid development of pasta in Kaiyuan period was an era of ample food and clothing.
In the Tang Dynasty, people liked to eat wheat pasta with miscellaneous grains. They often eat cakes, such as soup cakes, steamed cakes and pancakes, and mix beef, mutton and pork with spinach, bamboo shoots and grapes.
People in the Tang Dynasty also drank wine. There are many famous wines in China, such as Lang, Grandma and Qiang, and there are special hotels.
Go and look around.
During this period, China carried out various exchanges including trade with Japan, Silla (North Korea), Tianzhu (India), Southeast Asia, and especially with Japan. Jian Zhen's visit to Japan to preach Dharma and Abe's visit to Chang 'an by Ma Lu are all examples of promoting cultural development. So, remember to look around and contribute to the exchange between China and foreign countries.
At the same time, Tubo, Nanzhao, Turkic, Mohe Heishuibu and other ethnic minorities live in border areas, making important contributions to local development. The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and them was good and bad, with wars and peace, with equal emphasis on closeness and exchange of needed goods.
By the Tang Dynasty, overseas trade was developed, and China's merchant ships reached as far as India, Arabia and even the east coast of Africa. In order to collect taxes better, the government set up a city envoy in Guangzhou.

Do a little business.
With the opening of the Grand Canal in Sui Dynasty and the prosperity of the Silk Road in Tang Dynasty, the commerce in the prosperous Tang Dynasty was relatively prosperous. You can set up stalls in Chang 'an, Luoyang, Chengdu, Yangzhou and other big cities, but you can't open breakfast and night markets at present, and you can't get rich, but you can still make a profit by finding some living expenses.
Most feudal dynasties in ancient China valued agriculture over commerce, and the Tang Dynasty was no exception. Doing business is suppressed by the government and looked down upon by society, but business is essential to the operation of society. Therefore, if you choose to do business, you must have strong strength.
Datang has two high-end goods, a cabinet shop and a flying money. Cabinet Square, the early bank; Flying money is a voucher for withdrawing money. These were all for the needs of trading with Persian and Arab merchants at that time.
Market trade has appeared in rural areas, which is called grass market, virtual market, wild market and silkworm market, which facilitates the exchange of goods in rural areas. At that time, a wealthy businessman named Wang Yuanbao appeared. When Tang Xuanzong asked him how much he earned, he said calmly, "No, let me make an analogy. If every tree on Nanshan hangs a silk (now worth 5,000 RMB), even if the trees on the mountain are full, my silk will not be used up! "
07 technology and clothing
In the Tang Dynasty, woodblock printing appeared, and the culture was well spread. At the same time, an alchemist accidentally discovered gunpowder and applied it to the military.

There are many kinds of costumes in the Tang Dynasty, from the emperor to the common people, all of them have their own unique costumes. At that time, the silk industry was developed, and there were many exchanges among various ethnic groups, resulting in the integration of clothing.
At that time, the costumes of the Western Regions and Tubo were introduced into the Central Plains, and the cloth was very rich. Clothes are divided into crown clothes, chapter clothes, men's clothes and court clothes. And the clothes of emperors, queens, ministers and civilians have clear regulations.
Develop agriculture and handicrafts
China is a big agricultural country, which was more prominent in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. At that time, the country implemented the tenancy adjustment system, and the agricultural production tools were flat boats and curved plows, so the grain output was generally high, which basically met people's needs.
At that time, the main food crops in the south were rice and wheat in the north. As now, being a farmer is still very hard. Bai Juyi once lamented: I don't know how hot it is, but I cherish the long summer.
Porcelain manufacturing was developed in the Tang Dynasty. Porcelain sold well at home and abroad, and even exported to Japan, Southeast Asia and West Asia at high prices. In addition, people have become civilized when drinking tea. This is because Comrade Lu Yu wrote a book of tea classics. People know the taste and are no longer as rude as cows used to drink water.
In the Tang dynasty, the system of three provinces and six departments was implemented, and the Ministry of Industry specifically managed the project construction. The government recruits excellent craftsmen from all over the country regardless of the cost. The government employs them and promises to pay their wages on time, but they often fail to pay their wages.
In addition to the official, there are also folk handicrafts. In their spare time, farmers raise silkworms, make paper, smelt copper and make sugar for paying taxes and selling money to improve their lives.

Li Bai said in his poem: "The incense burner in Rizhao gives off purple smoke. Looking at the hanging waterfalls in Qianchuan from afar, flying to thousands of feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days. " Yes, north and south of the great river, inside and outside the Great Wall, the magnificent rivers and mountains in the prosperous Tang Dynasty attract people and are magnificent!
In addition, places of interest like Wang Teng Pavilion also have high tourism value. "Zhang Yu's old county, Hongdu's new home, the stars are scattered and meet Lu Heng", which is amazing.
Of course, the palaces in the Tang Dynasty are also very spectacular. With a population of 1 10,000, Chang 'an was the most populous city in the world at that time. In addition, Luoyang, the eastern capital, is also good, with developed commerce and brightly lit festivals.
The Tang Dynasty was very confident and highly developed, with more than 65438+100000 students studying in China. The Tang Dynasty was militarily powerful, so it began to fight if it didn't like it. The poet said: It is better to be a scholar than a centurion. Everyone has a little martial spirit.
Tang people are not arrogant and impetuous, "if you don't break Loulan, you won't return it." It gives us the feeling that "the wall of the enemy country is gone when talking and laughing." Today, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation needs such boldness of vision.

Li Tang dynasty welcomed Japanese envoys to study and exchange in China, and imperial academy and Schizo Temple were in charge. Persia, which had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, also came, but died with the expansion of the Arab Empire in 663.
In the summer of 744 AD, Li Bai and Du Fu met in Luoyang. They are like long-lost cousins, and they hit it off at first sight. However, Li Bai has already made his debut, and Du Fu is still a little white, which is naturally not a level. Maybe Du Fu is a little sad.
In 7 13 AD, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was renamed Kaiyuan, and the prosperity of Kaiyuan began. Comrade Longji shouted: "Comrades, come with me and build a powerful Datang. My little universe is about to explode. Come on, Ollie! "
