The Thang dynasty ruled for nearly 300 years, from A.D. 618 to 907. This is known as the golden age of art and poetry in [[China]]. New territories were acquired, including Manchuria, Tibet, Japan and northern Vietnam. This territory became known as the ''Middle Kingdom'', whereby it drew wealth from surrounding states through a ritualistic ''kowtow'', such that diplomats from surrounding states were expected to pay homage to the emperor by touching their forehead repeatedly to the ground beneath the emperor.
