Chengde (Tang Dynasty)
Chengde (成德), situated in modern Shijiazhuang, was an independent Chinese polity in the post-An Lushan Rebellion (755-763) Tang dynasty. The former generals of An Lushan allied with each other to negotiate the existence of their independent realms in northeast China. History The adopted son of An Lushan, Li Baochen of Kumo Xi stock, surrendered to the Tang in order to keep control of Chengde. Baochen entered marriage alliances with Tian Chengsi of Weibo and Li Zhengji of Pinglu (Tai'an). The alliance with Tian ended in 775 when Baochen's nephew accidentally caused the death of Tian's son in a game of polo. Baochen joined a coalition force of jiedushi and Tang imperial forces against Tian, but eventually turned on them. Tian ceded Cangzhou to Baochen. Near the end of his life, Baochen started killing the most powerful officers in his army so that they would not be able to contest the succession of his son, Li Weiyue. He also became superstitious, believing that sorcerers could g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

New Book Of Tang
The ''New Book of Tang'', generally translated as the "New History of the Tang" or "New Tang History", is a work of official history covering the Tang dynasty in ten volumes and 225 chapters. The work was compiled by a team of scholars of the Song dynasty, led by Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi. It was originally simply called the ''Tangshu'' (Book of Tang) until the 18th century. History In Chinese history, it was customary for dynasties to compile histories of their immediate predecessor as a means of cementing their own legitimacy. As a result, during the Later Jin dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a history of the preceding Tang dynasty, the '' Old Book of Tang'' () had already been compiled. In 1044, however, Emperor Renzong of Song ordered a new compilation of Tang history, based on his belief that the original ''Old Book of Tang'' lacked organization and clarity. The process took 17 years, being finally completed in 1060. Contents The ''New Book of Tang' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
