Sui Historical Atlas (581 CE – 618 CE) · Capital: Daxing (Chang'an)
581 年杨坚代周建隋,589 年灭陈结束近三百年南北分裂。废郡存州(后改州为郡),创立三省六部与科举制,营建东都洛阳,开凿贯通南北的大运河,西破吐谷浑置河源、西海等郡;隋末三征高句丽引发群雄并起。
Founded by Yang Jian in 581, Sui conquered Chen in 589 to end nearly three centuries of division. It instituted the Three Departments and Six Ministries and the imperial examination system, built the eastern capital at Luoyang, excavated the Grand Canal, defeated Tuyuhun in the west, and collapsed after three costly campaigns against Goguryeo.
