People in the Tang Dynasty
Then and now
People in the Tang Dynasty
Read and answer: Did the people in the Tang Dynasty eat the same as we do?
The living ways in the Tang Dynasty are quite different from those of today.
At that time, there were not any tall buildings. People lived in wooden houses. They didn't have cars, trains or planes. They usually went to another place on foot, by horse or by boat.
There weren't any computers, either. People could not send e-mails to their friends. They sent letters with the help of pigeons or postmen.
In the Tang Dynasty, men usually wore hats and women all had long hair. But they ate dumplings, pancakes, vegetables and meat just like what we eat today.
I wonder, did they have schools? Did the girls go to school, too?
