Detailed explanation-1: -During the Song (Sung) Dynasty (960-1276), technology was highly advanced in fields as diverse as agriculture, iron-working, and printing. Indeed, scholars today talk of a Song economic revolution. The population grew rapidly during this time, and more and more people lived in cities.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Sui dynasty’s territories were carved into a handful of short-lived states by its officials, generals, and agrarian rebel leaders. A process of elimination and annexation followed that ultimately culminated in the consolidation of the Tang dynasty by the former Sui general Li Yuan.
Detailed explanation-3: -Before and during the Tang dynasty, the emperor shared political power only with those aristocratic families, and the aristocratic families could even dismiss the emperor. In the Song dynasty, the aristocratic families declined, and political power was held entirely by the emperor.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Tang capital at Chang’an (present-day Xi’an) was then the world’s most populous city. Two censuses of the 7th and 8th centuries estimated the empire’s population at about 50 million people, which grew to an estimated 80 million by the dynasty’s end.
