I want to know the history of Sui and Tang Dynasties. What books can I choose?

Ji Tang's books in Old Tang Dynasty, New Tang Dynasty and History as a Mirror are the volumes 185 to 265. The above three books are the most basic historical materials for studying Tang Shi, and professional practitioners in Tang Shi must master them. If you want to know the historical events of the early Tang Dynasty, Sui Shu has a lot to read, while if you want to study the late Tang Dynasty, you must read the History of the Old Five Dynasties and the History of the New Five Dynasties. If you have a very interested historical figure, you can look at the relevant biographies in the books of the Tang Dynasty and the historical records related to this figure in Tong Jian.

Some books that I find interesting and can read:

Samarkand's Golden Peach Edward Hetzel Schafer: A Study of Imported Goods in Tang Dynasty;

You can think of it as a list of luxury goods in the Tang Dynasty. Edward Hetzel Schafer, the author, is a strange man in sinology in Europe and America. With frightening language skills, he has a profound understanding of the study of famous things in Tang Dynasty. This book lists all kinds of overseas imports from the Tang Dynasty in different categories, and talks about their uses and cultural connotations from their sources. Not only meticulous, but also extremely elegant and beautiful.

2. Yu Gengzhe's Preliminary Study on the History of Diseases and Medical Care in the Tang Dynasty;

What diseases did people in the Tang Dynasty face? How did the Tang government and society face the disease? Was there a social medical mechanism in the Tang Dynasty? What impact did this disease have on society, politics and military affairs in the Tang Dynasty? This book can give you an interesting answer. This book is a successful attempt in the field of medical social history in the Middle Ages and a masterpiece in the field of social history in the Tang Dynasty.

3. Wang's History of Political Relations among Tang, Tubo and Maharaja;

In the first hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, the sex of the three major forces in the western regions was all in this book. The author, Mr. Wang, has acquired a variety of argots for textual research, so this book quotes a lot of precious historical materials and demonstrates them fully. This book will give you a lot of different views from traditional cognition, about the turmoil and changes in the seven or eight centuries when the Western Regions were pushed to Central Asia.

4. Li Biyan, Crisis and Reconstruction: Tang Empire and Its Local Governors;

This book has been very expensive in Luoyang since it was published last year. During the decades from Anshi Rebellion to Dade, when the historical variables of the Tang Dynasty were the greatest, how did the problem of the buffer region have a great impact on the state system, and how did the Tang court use the buffer region to reverse and reconstruct the power mechanism step by step? This book discusses the reconstruction of the sovereignty of the buffer towns in the Tang Dynasty and even the whole country through a detailed case study of the buffer towns in the northwest, north China and south China, and puts forward many subversive new viewpoints, which are very worth reading.
