Tang and Sung

Tang could be the most powerful period. I am surprised that Sung has higher per capita GDP.

When the country is rich ancient or present, they have time to develop art, poems, music...

Try Google with Tang GDP and this link appears.

I read something like "Once Chinese wore silk dresses and lived in houses, and the west lived wore animal skins and lived in caves".

Will try to identify the period. Seems to be earlier than 2000 B.C.

It does not mean anything except to boost my dumb nationalism. It is similar to Cheng Ho. Even if he discovered America first, his influence was nil compared to Columbus.
