1 artistic exaggeration. In feudal society, the contradiction between the peasant class and the landlord class is the biggest class contradiction. Even in the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, this situation is inevitable. "Small towns" should refer to relatively wealthy small landlords, not big landlords with thousands of hectares. But the next sentence may be true. The last sentence should describe the country's abundant grain reserves and abundant national treasury, but it does not mean that it can be selflessly opened to the outside world. Perhaps it is for foreign wars and reserves for emergencies. These situations are generally true, but in the first 20 years of the reign of Xuanzong in our modern society, there was a prosperous scene in the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu, a great poet, described it like this in his poem "Remembering the Past": "Looking back at the heyday of Kaiyuan, there were still thousands of families in the small town. Rice is fat and white, and public and private warehouses are rich. " In the heyday of Kaiyuan, even small counties had tens of thousands of families. Agriculture has been bumper harvest year after year, grain is piled up in public and private warehouses, and people's lives are very rich.
During the Kaiyuan period, the society was stable, the world was peaceful and the commercial traffic was developed. Yangzhou is located at the intersection of the Canal and the Yangtze River, where Chinese and foreign businessmen gather and the city is particularly prosperous. Chang 'an, Tang Dou is very lively. Ambassadors, businessmen, scholars and craftsmen from many countries in the world rushed to the Tang Dynasty for friendly exchanges, trade and learning culture and technology. China's feudal society experienced unprecedented prosperity, which is the famous "Kaiyuan Shengshi" in history. The way of understanding is different.
