Explanation:

The Tang Dynasty was the Chinese imperial dynasty that succeeded the Sui dynasty, and it is considered as one of the greatest imperial dynasties in Chinese history. This dynasty established a strong and effective cultural and military advancement which can still be noted in China today. However, hanks to the corruption and internal conflicts, the imperial power was weakened, the power passed to the provinces, which later caused the downfall of the dynasty.

The Song dynasty referees to Chinese rulers who ruled from 960 to 1279 and reunited China. This dynasty completed the Grand Canal project, started by the Sui dynasty and made many important economic and trade improvements. Unfortunately, this dynasty faced many threats from nomadic groups, until the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty had finally conquered it in 1279.
