The transition from Sui to Tang (隋末唐初) refers to a period in which the Chinese dynasty Sui Dynasty disintegrated into a number of short-lived states, some ruled by former Sui officials and generals and some by agrarian rebel leaders, and then those states were consolidated into Tang Dynasty, founded by the former Sui general Emperor Gaozu of Tang (Li Yuan). The period roughly started from 613, when Emperor Yang of Sui launched his first of three campaigns against Goguryeo, leading to a number of desertions from the army and the start of agrarian rebellions against Sui, to 628, when Emperor Gaozu's son Emperor Taizong of Tang (Li Shimin) destroyed the Liang state ruled by the agrarian rebel ruler Liang Shidu and reunified China.

Famous quotes containing the words transition from, transition, sui and/or tang:
“There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
