Sui and Tang Art (English)

Japanese: 隋唐美術 - ずいとうびじゅつ（英語表記）Suí Táng měi shù

After the fall of the Han dynasty, which was the culmination of ancient society, northern China came under the control of northern nomadic tribes, and the Han people developed a culture based on the economy in the grain-producing areas of Jiangnan. The Northern Dynasty, which advocated its political culture through deep ties with the nomadic tribes, integrated the Southern Dynasty, and it was during the Sui dynasty that northern China and Jiangnan began to operate under a single political system again, as had been the case since the Han dynasty. After 38 years of the Sui dynasty, the Tang dynasty, a group of warlords and aristocrats, took over from this, consolidating the politics of the north and the economy of the south in Chang'an and Luoyang, and while dealing with the nomadic tribes of the north and west, they also exerted their influence in foreign regions west of Turfan and east of the Pamirs, securing the Western Regions while absorbing their advanced culture.

古代社会の集大成である漢の滅亡以後，華北は北方遊牧民族の支配下におかれ，漢人は江南の穀倉地帯を経済基盤とする文化を開いた。遊牧民族と深いつながりの中にその政治文化を標榜した北朝に南朝が統合され，華北と江南とが漢以来再び一つの政治体制のもとに動きはじめたのが隋代である。隋代38年ののちこれを受けた軍閥貴族集団である唐は，北の政治，南の経済を長安･洛陽に集合し，対外的にも北方･西方の遊牧民族に対処しつつ，トゥルファン(吐魯番)以西パミール以東の異域に勢力を及ぼし，西域の確保と同時にその高次の文化を吸収していった。
