| | Tang Dynasty -- Political, Social, Cultural, Historical Analysis Of China |
 | | Sui Dynasty, for its short life duration of 37 years and the despotic ruling of Sui Emperor Yangdi, was treated as part of the Northern Dynasties by Tang historian Li Yanshou. |
 | | Three dynasties of Five Dynasties, in between Posterior Liang and Posterior Zhou, were of alien nature, founded by generals who belonged to a group of nomads called Shatuo (Sha'to), a Turkic tribe. |
 | | Emperor Taizong, rebutting the advice of his minister Wei Zheng (who cited the Hunnic ravaging of China during the late Jinn Dynasty as a result of their dwelling south of the Yellow River, Hetao area), relocated over 100,000 eastern Turks to the border areas, all the way from Shaanxi-Shanxi to today's Beijing city. |
