| | Tang Dynasty -- Political, Social, Cultural, Historical Analysis Of China |
 | | Northern Zhou (AD 557-581) Emperor Xuandi (Yuwen Yun), in order to indulge himself in leisure and sex, had decreed in AD 578 that his seven-year-old son (Yuwen Yan or Yuwen Chan) be on the throne. |
 | | In the winter, a census was made, and China was added an addition of 1.2 million people as a result of Chinese returnees from outside of the borders as well as barbarians seeking vassalage. |
 | | During this time, AD 629-645, famous Tang Monk, Chen Hui, travelled to India and returned to Chang'an in 16 years, passing dozens of countries and nomadic tribal states in between, which include the so-called Gaochang State (near east of today's Turpan) where he was received by king Qu Wentai. |
