"Tang Dynasty: The Thrilling Era of Prosperity (1)" serves as the opening work of the series "From Heart - Tang History". This piece takes the historical timeline as the main thread, combining key figures and historical events to recreate the magnificent and legendary history of the fifty years before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. It includes the events of Emperor Wen of Sui (Yang Jian) abolishing the crown prince, Yang Guang's succession, and the process of the Sui Empire under Yang Guang's rule declining from its peak to eventual destruction. Intertwined within this narrative is a panoramic depiction of historical truths, including the growth of Emperor Gaozu of Tang (Li Yuan), his "promotion", the uprising in Jin Yang, leading up to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, as well as his subtle relationship with the rulers of the Sui Empire.
