The next morning I woke up to a nice morning breeze. Time for more looking into the tang dynasty. Li Yuan founded the dynasty until 626 when his son named Li Shimin took the throne. He feared of getting assassinated so he killed 2 of his brothers named Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng which was not the confucian way. He put buddhist monasteries next to the big wars so that they could pray for the fallen soldiers to go to heaven. The tang dynasty lasted from six hundred-eighteen to nine hundred- seven which is a very long time for a dynasty, even a good dynasty. The Tang recorded the population to be about fifty Million in the eighth and seventh centuries. That is a huge population! It has been proven that by the ninth century the population had increased and was now eighty million. That is a huge increase of thirty million. There were many awesome inventions made by the tang dynasty like toilet paper and woodblock prints. The tang dynasty a little later made smaller states so they could save money so they would be able to save enough food surplus for the people who didn’t have enough or if sickness spreads.
