In 618, Li Yuan, the King of Tang proclaimed himself emperor in Chang’an (Xi’an, Shaanxi Province) and established the Tang Dynasty, which was replaced by “Zhou” by Wu Zetian and was restored after the Dragon Revolution. The Tang Dynasty lasted 289 years with 21 emperors and was a unified dynasty with the largest territory.
