## TL;DR
The Tang dynasty ruled China from 618 to 907 and is often treated as a high point of imperial Chinese culture. This repair keeps the public facts to three sourced anchors: the dynasty dates, An Lushan's rebellion, and the Met Museum's overview of Tang cosmopolitan culture.

## Core Explanation
The Tang state governed a large, outward-looking empire. Its cultural reputation rests on trade, art, poetry, and exchange across Asia. The An Lushan rebellion marks a major political rupture that weakened Tang authority.
