Compare and contrast the Sui and Tang dynasties of China.
by Sam Green
While the Sui and Tang were similar in government, but they differed in cultural and social aspects.
The dynasties are similar in the affiliations and political ties of their government. Both dynasties have roots in the nomads of China. They are also similar in the aspect that philosophy has some weight in their decisions. Both the Tang and Sui dynasties have Confucian influence in their government.
The dynasties are different when it comes to views on women. For example, the Tang had a female ruler at one point while the Sui did not. Furthermore, the two dynasties differed in regards to toleration of Buddhists. The Sui accepted Buddhists without hesitation, yet the Tang strongly disapproved of them.
