If I had a second choice, it would be the Qing. Under the Qing, the Chinese empire became larger than it ever was. In terms of landmass, the Qing was the greatest dynasty. They controlled all of the modern-day PRC, Taiwan, Mongolia, Outter Manchuria, Korea, Vietnam, Okinawa, and stretches of land in Central Asia and the Russian Far East. For the first hundred years, the Qing could also be classified a superpower, before the European nations surpassed it.

After Kanxi's death. Qing is leaping backword, probally to Shang dynasty's form, not enough food for soldiers and the goverment is poor. QianLong did good but after that, Empress Dowager CiXi's fault.

Looks like more people chosen the Tang, why not you explain why you voted on that.

I do not understand why anyone voted for Tang. The Tang did little to expand China's borders. Furthermore, the Tang didn't vastly improve China's wealth or improve China intellectually or scientifically. The Song which followed the Tang was a much stronger dynasty, and did much to defeat barbarian tribes and expand Chinese territory before being overwhelmed by the Turks themselves.

The Tang by far was the strongest miltary in the history of China (in the world at that time even) this includes the Qing,Ming etc. The Tang expanded China borders alot example during Tangs height it borders reached mondern Iran. Also another example is that the Persian empire recongised Tang authority, when a new Persian king came on the throne it sort to be recongised by Tang first. so the people who voted for Tang knows there Chinese history. :)

Tang can be said to be the second richest dynasty in Chinese history, the first being Qing's glorious days. Why were they wealthy? Simple, they built the silk road. We traded with many peoples. We also at that time brought many buddhist writings from India back to China and translated to Chinese. There were many explorations to the Western Regions, India, and Middle East. Tang was a great empire.

Yeah, Yuan by far had the largest territory in the history of China; more than the Qing.

but during yuan there wasn't much military advancement. they basically used superior cavalries to conquer everything, and that's why the mongols were truly amazing.
