However, since the restoration of Li Dan, she has been balancing the power of her son Li Longji and her sister Princess Taiping. In 7 12, he passed the throne to his son Li Longji, who later became Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. After Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, the political situation in the Tang Dynasty began to stabilize. Under his rule, the political situation was clear, the society was stable, the economy continued to develop, the business was prosperous, and the air power in the Tang Dynasty was strong, so people called it "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng" and "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng" was founded by Tang Xuanzong. Under the rule of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty entered its heyday, so it was called "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng" in history. So, what is the reason for the emergence of the "prosperous new century"?
First of all, this is because of the political stability during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Before Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, the political situation in the Tang Dynasty was turbulent under the rule of Wu Zetian, but after Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, the political situation in the Tang Dynasty was stable. In addition, after Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, he rectified the bureaucracy. Streamlining other institutions, limiting the number of officials and improving the overall quality of officials have not only reduced government financial expenditure, but also improved work efficiency. In addition, he attached importance to being a good minister and mentor, and his politics was clear and stable, which laid a solid foundation for economic development. Secondly, in terms of social stability, we should adopt the policy of national reconciliation, establish friendly relations with Tubo, conduct friendly exchanges with the western regions, and form harmonious ethnic relations. The harmony of ethnic relations contributes to social stability and socio-economic development. Economically, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the rich gentry were suppressed, water conservancy projects were built on a large scale, and agriculture was vigorously developed. Agricultural technology is developed, production tools are improved, handicraft technology is superb, government finances are abundant, granaries are abundant throughout the country, and prices are low. The development and prosperity of commerce in tang dynasty. Domestic transportation is more perfect and foreign trade is growing day by day. Under such circumstances, the Tang Dynasty entered its heyday during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, which was called "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng" in history.
What kind of society will be called "prosperous times"? What was the state of the Tang Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, known as the "Golden Age of Kaiyuan" in history? What is the main content of Kaiyuan Shi Sheng? First of all, let's look at the meaning of "prosperous times". "Prosperity" refers to a period of long-term prosperity after the country moved from chaos to rectification. Therefore, to achieve "prosperity", the premise is the necessary process from chaos to rectification. "The New Century Prosperity" appeared in the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. After Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, he stabilized the chaotic political situation in the Tang Dynasty after Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate. Under his modest and good guidance, the political situation in the Tang Dynasty became clear, ending the process of "chaos". Since then, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty has taken a series of measures to "govern the country according to law". He suppressed the aristocratic and Buddhist forces, liberated the labor force and reduced the burden on the people. He vigorously developed agriculture, exploited wasteland and improved the combat effectiveness of the army. He adopted the policy of national reconciliation, maintained friendly relations with other ethnic groups, and established a "family-style" relationship with Tubo in the western regions, which contributed to social stability and economic development. He advocated cultural education, sorted out ancient books and trained a large number of talents; He developed foreign trade and made the economy of the Tang Dynasty develop rapidly. The whole Tang Dynasty was rich in finance, prosperous in commerce and trade, and the country was strong. For a long time, the Tang dynasty was in such a heyday, so it was called "the prosperous time of Kaiyuan".
Therefore, the main contents of "prosperous new century" are political stability, economic prosperity, cultural prosperity and national strength enhancement. The emergence of the "New Century Prosperity" represents the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and the feudal society in China also reached its peak. So what is the impact of the "prosperous new century"? As far as the influence of Kaiyuan Shi Sheng is concerned, we can't just look at one aspect. Many people see the word "prosperous times" and only see its positive side, but the influence of anything is twofold, both positive and negative. So let's look at the positive side of Kaiyuan Shi Sheng.
It must be a very prosperous society, which can be called "prosperity in the new century". Indeed, the Tang Dynasty reached its heyday in the flourishing age of Kaiyuan. Under the rule of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the domestic political situation was very stable, the relationship between monarch and minister was harmonious and the politics was clear. In this case, the Tang society became extremely stable and the economy developed rapidly. The Tang Dynasty was rich in financial resources and its national strength reached its peak. People's lives are very comfortable, ethnic relations are harmonious and society is very stable. However, this does not mean that there are no negative factors in the influence of New Century. Militarily, after strengthening the military defense in the surrounding areas, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty established an era of unified command and defense of the army. Although this measure was beneficial in the early stage, with the passage of time, it has evolved into a situation in which the military forces controlled by our army have been continuously strengthened and the mainland armaments have gradually become obsolete, forming a situation in which the outside is heavy and the inside is light. In addition, the intensification of land annexation is also the potential cause of the Anshi Rebellion to some extent.
