Tang dynasty (2168-2095); Before 2067-2064, it was also called "Ancient Tang Dynasty" and "Tang Taochao"), which was a dynasty established by Tang Yao in ancient times. Its predecessor was the ancient Tang State (2 173 years ago-2168 years ago, it was the fief before Yao proclaimed himself emperor).
Legend has it that the dynasties before Yu Shun were also the earliest embryonic form of centralized state (ancient China formed the initial tribal alliance in Fuxi era and laid the earliest administrative plan in Zhuan Xu era; The earliest state institutions were established in the period of Emperor Yao). In its early days, its capital was in Bei Tang (now Taiyuan, Shanxi), and later it moved to Pingyang (now Linfen, Shanxi).
In the early days of Yao's administration, there was no basic national system, and the country was just a tribal association, which was very loose and not conducive to the unified management of the country. Therefore, after Yao accumulated some experience in governing the country, he began to set up a national political system.
One of the most important is to appoint officials according to various government affairs, which established a relatively systematic political system for the first time in the history of our country, laying the foundation for the emergence of slave countries, known as the Tang Dynasty in history.
In the ancient myths and legends of China, stories such as "Houyi shooting at the sun", "worshipping Bo to control water" and "Xiaogan moving the sky" all happened in the ancient Tang Dynasty.
The ancient Tang Dynasty experienced two generations and two dynasties (Tang Yao and Danzhu) and ruled for 73 years. Later, it was replaced by the Yu dynasty established by Yao Zhonghua, the leader of the Yu family of Dongyi nationality; The two dynasties had an inheritance relationship in the political system, so later generations often called it "Tang Yu".
