Every golden age follows the same pattern: the first generation builds it, the second consolidates it, and the third squanders it.
This video traces the rise and fall of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang — the same emperor who created the Kaiyuan Golden Age, one of the greatest golden ages in Chinese history, and then personally destroyed it. From the bloody founding of the Tang Dynasty, through decades of palace coups, to the catastrophic An Lushan Rebellion — this is the story of how prosperity kills the very qualities that created it.
The Qing Dynasty's Kangxi-Yongzheng-Qianlong cycle confirms the pattern a thousand years later.
Why do golden ages always destroy themselves? The answer has not changed in three thousand years.
