Tang dynasty

The Tang dynasty ruled China from 618 to 907, with a brief interruption from 690 to 705. Centered on its capital Chang’an, it strongly influenced the politics, economy, and culture of East Asia.
In Buddhism, Avalokitesvara (觀世音) was shortened to Guanyin (觀音) due to Tang dynasty Emperor Taizong (李世民). Under Chinas name taboo custom, the character 世 from the emperors name could not be used publicly. This practice also renamed government offices, influencing Korea.
