Map of Tang Dynasty

         The yellow areas in the map above show the Tang Dynasty.  This map also shows that my dynasty lasted from 618-906, a considerably long reign during the time period.  The region stretches from North Western China all the way to the mid- east to the east coast of China.  China hasn't stretched or shrunk since the Tang Dynasty. The city Chang'an was where/near the current city Xi'an.  This map also shows a trade route that goes through the center of the dynasty, and branches out towards the west.
