Abstract:
Taiwanese people have always understood the Tang Dynasty and described the Tang Dynasty within the framework of Chinese history. However, the prosperous Tang Dynasty in Chinese literature is actually the Tuoba State in the inscriptions of the Hu people. Which one is the truth about the Tang Empire? Did the international and world-imperial nature of the Tang Dynasty reflect the tolerance of Chinese culture, or did it convey the worldview of the Hu people? This time we invited two scholars who studied the Tang Dynasty to cut into the "Tang Dynasty of China" from different aspects, engage in cross-debating discussions, and explore its essence.
