Emperor Xuanzong of Tang (Emperor Hsuan-tsung of Tang; Chinese: 唐玄宗) ( 8 September 685[6][8] -- 3 May 762[7]), also commonly known as Emperor Ming of Tang (Chinese: 唐明皇; pinyin: Táng Míng Huáng), personal name Li Longji (Wade-Giles: Li Lung-chi; Chinese: 李隆基), known as Wu Longji (Wade-Giles: Wu Lung-chi; Chinese: 武隆基) from 690 to 705, was the seventh emperor of the Tang dynasty in China, reigning from 712 to 756. His reign of 43 years was the longest during the Tang Dynasty. In the early half of his reign he was a diligent and astute ruler, ably assisted by capable chancellors like Yao Chong and Song Jing, and was credited with bringing Tang China to a pinnacle of culture and power.
Emperor Xuanzong, however, was blamed for over-trusting Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and An Lushan during his late reign, with Tang's golden age ending in the Anshi Rebellion.[9] This was the decline of the Tang Dynasty.
郭子儀 不戰而勝的將軍Guo Ziyi- A General Who Conquered
Guo Ziyi (697-781), born in Huazhou (in today's Shaanxi), was a famous military general during the Tang Dynasty. He put down the An Shi Rebellion, and became Prince Zhongwu of Fenyang. Guo participated in the expeditions against Hui Hu and Tubo. He was tall and very brave.
Because of his great achievements, he was reputed to be one of the greatest generals in Chinese history and was regarded as the best general in East Asia during his lifetime. He continued to command his army and fight battles until he was 84 years old. Because of his military talent, the Tang Empire maintained peace for more than two decades.
Tang Emperor Dezong was very sad about Guo's death on July 9, 781, and gave an edict to mourn his general and appraised his deeds. As a historical figure of high prestige and reputation, Guo was respected by the whole nation.
Guo Ziyi (郭子儀), a general and leader during the renowned Tang Dynasty, had the rare distinction of actually living out what ancient books said Chinese officials should be like.
One of the bedrock concepts of Chinese strategic thought, as told by the classic Art of War is …
“to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; rather, supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.”
How many Chinese generals actually did that? Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty (AD618–907) did.
“He was all-powerful across China, but the courtesans did not envy him,” announced Vol. 70 of the magnum opus The Old Book of Tang. “His deeds were known throughout the land, but the emperor did not doubt him.” Guo lived to a rare 85 years old. He sired eight sons and they, along with his seven sons-in-law, held important positions in adulthood.
Ziyi’s long, illustrious military career included major battles with the Uyghur and Tibetan minority groups, whose invasions he repelled without utilising soldiers or weapons. His reputation alone was sufficient, built up over decades of battling courageously and outwitting enemies.
In AD763, as the Tang Dynasty was just recovering from the devastating An Shi rebellion of AD755–763, a massive force of Tibetan warriors were on the doorsteps of Chang’an, the capital, ready to loot and plunder. Ziyi immediately dispatched scouts to light hundreds of fires in places that the
Tibetans would see — making them think that troops were encamped there. At the same time, he had the people of Chang’an set off fireworks and strike gongs. The Tibetans, terrified by the commotion, thought they were surrounded and fled.
Guo’s most important non-battle took place two years later. A treacherous Marshal, Pugu Huai’en (僕固懷恩), seized a troublemaking opportunity, coaxing the Uyghurs and Tibetans to again invade Chang’an. Three hundred thousand enemy soldiers were about to descend. Ziyi, with only ten thousand troops, was sent to stop them.
At nearly 70 years of age, Ziyi decided the best solution was simply to go to the Uyghur commander and discuss the matter. His own officials thought it be too risky, but Ziyi still went ahead. Guo’s son pleaded with Ziyi that “you will be feeding yourself to the tigers.” Ziyi responded, “Our country is in a life and death situation. If I can convince the Uyghurs to side with us, the country can be safe. What else is there to consider?” He whipped his son’s hand free from his horse, slapped the reins, and galloped forth.
The Uyghur commander, wary, ordered his soldiers to continue preparing for battle. Ziyi, seeing this, tossed aside his armour and weapons as he rode closer. Ziyi already knew these troops: they had served under him whilst fighting against other rebels. Ziyi, gracious and generous to the Uyghurs, had become a father figure to them. Recognising him, the Uyghurs knelt.
Seeing Ziyi, the Uyghurs realised that Huai’en had tricked them into attacking. Quickly, the Uyghurs joined forces with Ziyi’s army, the one they had been sent to defeat. When word broke to the Tibetans, they fled overnight.
Ziyi “broke the enemy’s resistance without fighting” in court as well. Ziyi parried the blows of narrow-minded officials who envied his achievements and closeness with the monarch.
The sneaky eunuch Yu Chao’en (魚朝恩), Emperor Suzong’s Military Attaché, was one of the most dangerous. Yu lost a major battle and blamed Ziyi. Suzong, trusting the deceitful eunuch, stripped Ziyi of his military rank. Ziyi, however, held no grudge; he simply waited, and when the next emperor rose to the throne, his position and powers were rein

Tang dynasty
The Tang dynasty (Chinese: 唐朝; pinyin: Táng Cháo; Wade–Giles: T'ang Ch'ao), officially the Great Tang (Chinese: 大唐; pinyin: Dà Táng; Wade–Giles: Ta T'ang), also called the Empire of the Great Tang, was an imperial dynasty of China preceded by the Sui dynasty and followed by the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. It was founded by the Lǐ family (李), who seized power during the decline and collapse of the Sui Empire. The dynasty was briefly interrupted when Empress Wu Zetian seized the throne, proclaiming the Second Zhou dynasty (690–705) and becoming the only Chinese empress regnant.
The Tang dynasty, with its capital at Chang'an (present-day Xi'an), which at the time was the most populous city in the world, is generally regarded as a high point in Chinese civilization, and a golden age of cosmopolitan culture. Its territory, acquired through the military campaigns of its early rulers, rivaled that of the Han dynasty. In two censuses of the 7th and 8th centuries, the Tang records estimated the population by number of registered households at about 50 million people. Yet, even when the central government was breaking down and unable to compile an accurate census of the population in the 9th century, it is estimated that the population had grown by then to about 80 million people. With its large population base, the dynasty was able to raise professional and conscripted armies of hundreds of thousands of troops to contend with nomadic powers in dominating Inner Asia and the lucrative trade routes along the Silk Road. Various kingdoms and states paid tribute to the Tang court, while the Tang also conquered or subdued several regions which it indirectly controlled through a protectorate system. Besides political hegemony, the Tang also exerted a powerful cultural influence over neighboring states such as those in Korea, Japan, and Vietnam.

Emperor
An emperor (through Old French empereor from Latin: 'imperator') is a monarch, usually the sovereign ruler of an empire or another type of imperial realm. Empress, the female equivalent, may indicate an emperor's wife (empress consort), mother (empress dowager), or a woman who rules in her own right (empress regnant). Emperors are generally recognized to be of a higher honour and rank than kings. In Europe the title of Emperor was, since the Middle Ages, considered equal or almost equal in dignity to that of Pope, due to the latter's position as visible head of the Church and spiritual leader of Western Europe. The Emperor of Japan is the only currently reigning monarch whose title is translated into English as "Emperor".
Both kings and emperors are monarchs, but emperor and empress are considered the higher monarchical titles. In so far as there is a strict definition of emperor, it is that an emperor has no relations implying the superiority of any other ruler, and typically rules over more than one nation. Thus a king might be obliged to pay tribute to another ruler, or be restrained in his actions in some unequal fashion, but an emperor should in theory be completely free of such restraints. However monarchs heading empires have not always used the title—the British sovereign did not assume the title until the incorporation of India into the British Empire, and even then used it only in a limited context. For purposes of protocol, emperors were once given precedence over kings in international diplomatic relations; currently, however, precedence amongst heads of state – whether they be Kings, Queens, Emperors, or Presidents – is determined by the duration of time that each one has been continuously in office.

Emperor Xuanzong of TangEmperor Xuanzong of Tang
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, also commonly known as Emperor Ming of Tang, personal name Li Longji, known as Wu Longji from 690 to 705, was the seventh emperor of the Tang dynasty in China, reigning from 712 to 756. His reign of 43 years was the longest during the Tang Dynasty. In the early half of his reign he was a diligent and astute ruler. Ably assisted by capable chancellors like Yao Chong, Song Jing and Zhang Yue, he was credited with bringing Tang China to a pinnacle of culture and power. Emperor Xuanzong, however, was blamed for over-trusting Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and An Lushan during his late reign, with Tang's golden age ending in the Anshi Rebellion. This marked the beginning of the Tang dynasty's decline. This video is targeted to blind users. Attribution: Article text available under CC-BY-SA Creative Commons image source in video

郭子儀 不戰而勝的將軍Guo Ziyi- A General Who Conquered
Guo Ziyi (697-781), born in Huazhou (in today's Shaanxi), was a famous military general during the Tang Dynasty. He put down the An Shi Rebellion, and became Prince Zhongwu of Fenyang. Guo participated in the expeditions against Hui Hu and Tubo. He was tall and very brave.
Because of his great achievements, he was reputed to be one of the greatest generals in Chinese history and was regarded as the best general in East Asia during his lifetime. He continued to command his army and fight battles until he was 84 years old. Because of his military talent, the Tang Empire maintained peace for more than two decades.
Tang Emperor Dezong was very sad about Guo's death on July 9, 781, and gave an edict to mourn his general and appraised his deeds. As a historical figure of high prestige and reputation, Guo was respected by the whole nation.
Guo Ziyi (郭子儀), a general and leader during the renowned Tang Dynasty, had the rare distinction of actually living out what ancient books said Chinese officials should be like.
One of the bedrock concepts of Chinese strategic thought, as told by the classic Art of War is …
“to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; rather, supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.”
How many Chinese generals actually did that? Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty (AD618–907) did.
“He was all-powerful across China, but the courtesans did not envy him,” announced Vol. 70 of the magnum opus The Old Book of Tang. “His deeds were known throughout the land, but the emperor did not doubt him.” Guo lived to a rare 85 years old. He sired eight sons and they, along with his seven sons-in-law, held important positions in adulthood.
Ziyi’s long, illustrious military career included major battles with the Uyghur and Tibetan minority groups, whose invasions he repelled without utilising soldiers or weapons. His reputation alone was sufficient, built up over decades of battling courageously and outwitting enemies.
In AD763, as the Tang Dynasty was just recovering from the devastating An Shi rebellion of AD755–763, a massive force of Tibetan warriors were on the doorsteps of Chang’an, the capital, ready to loot and plunder. Ziyi immediately dispatched scouts to light hundreds of fires in places that the
Tibetans would see — making them think that troops were encamped there. At the same time, he had the people of Chang’an set off fireworks and strike gongs. The Tibetans, terrified by the commotion, thought they were surrounded and fled.
Guo’s most important non-battle took place two years later. A treacherous Marshal, Pugu Huai’en (僕固懷恩), seized a troublemaking opportunity, coaxing the Uyghurs and Tibetans to again invade Chang’an. Three hundred thousand enemy soldiers were about to descend. Ziyi, with only ten thousand troops, was sent to stop them.
At nearly 70 years of age, Ziyi decided the best solution was simply to go to the Uyghur commander and discuss the matter. His own officials thought it be too risky, but Ziyi still went ahead. Guo’s son pleaded with Ziyi that “you will be feeding yourself to the tigers.” Ziyi responded, “Our country is in a life and death situation. If I can convince the Uyghurs to side with us, the country can be safe. What else is there to consider?” He whipped his son’s hand free from his horse, slapped the reins, and galloped forth.
The Uyghur commander, wary, ordered his soldiers to continue preparing for battle. Ziyi, seeing this, tossed aside his armour and weapons as he rode closer. Ziyi already knew these troops: they had served under him whilst fighting against other rebels. Ziyi, gracious and generous to the Uyghurs, had become a father figure to them. Recognising him, the Uyghurs knelt.
Seeing Ziyi, the Uyghurs realised that Huai’en had tricked them into attacking. Quickly, the Uyghurs joined forces with Ziyi’s army, the one they had been sent to defeat. When word broke to the Tibetans, they fled overnight.
Ziyi “broke the enemy’s resistance without fighting” in court as well. Ziyi parried the blows of narrow-minded officials who envied his achievements and closeness with the monarch.
The sneaky eunuch Yu Chao’en (魚朝恩), Emperor Suzong’s Military Attaché, was one of the most dangerous. Yu lost a major battle and blamed Ziyi. Suzong, trusting the deceitful eunuch, stripped Ziyi of his military rank. Ziyi, however, held no grudge; he simply waited, and when the next emperor rose to the throne, his position and powers were rein

Guo’s son pleaded with Ziyi that “you will be feeding yourself to the tigers.” Ziyi responded, “Our country is in a life and death situation. If I can convince the Uyghurs to side with us, the country can be safe. What else is there to consider?” He whipped his son’s hand free from his horse, slapped the reins, and galloped forth.
The Uyghur commander, wary, ordered his soldiers to continue preparing for battle. Ziyi, seeing this, tossed aside his armour and weapons as he rode closer. Ziyi already knew these troops: they had served under him whilst fighting against other rebels. Ziyi, gracious and generous to the Uyghurs, had become a father figure to them. Recognising him, the Uyghurs knelt.
Seeing Ziyi, the Uyghurs realised that Huai’en had tricked them into attacking. Quickly, the Uyghurs joined forces with Ziyi’s army, the one they had been sent to defeat. When word broke to the Tibetans, they fled overnight.
Ziyi “broke the enemy’s resistance without fighting” in court as well. Ziyi parried the blows of narrow-minded officials who envied his achievements and closeness with the monarch.
The sneaky eunuch Yu Chao’en (魚朝恩), Emperor Suzong’s Military Attaché, was one of the most dangerous. Yu lost a major battle and blamed Ziyi. Suzong, trusting the deceitful eunuch, stripped Ziyi of his military rank. Ziyi, however, held no grudge; he simply waited, and when the next emperor rose to the throne, his position and powers were rein

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, also commonly known as Emperor Ming of Tang, personal name Li Longji, known as Wu Longji from 690 to 705, was the seventh emperor of the Tang dynasty in China, reigning from 712 to 756. His reign of 43 years was the longest during the Tang Dynasty. In the early half of his reign he was a diligent and astute ruler. Ably assisted by capable chancellors like Yao Chong, Song Jing and Zhang Yue, he was credited with bringing Tang China to a pinnacle of culture and power.
Emperor Xuanzong, however, was blamed for over-trusting Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and An Lushan during his late reign, with Tang's golden age ending in the Anshi Rebellion. This marked the beginning of the Tang dynasty's decline.
