 ﻿ The Sui Dynasty 581-618 AD

﻿ "THE SAVIOR OF CHINA"
 Where would China be without the Sui Dynasty? Without the achievements of the Sui in unifying China, the country would still be in a state of war, and consequently, future dynasties, such as the Tang, could not have thrived...





*** ﻿All of these achievements of the great Sui Dynasty continue into the following Tang dynasty. For example, the Sui Dynasty's excellent military power continued into the Tang dynasty for further border expansion. Also, the Grand Canal brought prosperity through trade into the Tang. In addition, the examination system resulted in a strong government. Lastly, the Kaihuang Code effectively unified China.
