中英雙語話史記 第89期:唐朝衰落
Tang Dynasty
Fall of Tang Dynasty
唐朝的衰落Near the end of the Tang Dynasty, regional military governors took advantage of their increasing power and began to function more like independent regimes on their own right.
唐朝末年，地方武裝長官利用他們不斷增長的勢力開始扮演帝王的角色。
At the same time, natural causes such as droughts and famine due to internal corruptions and incompetent emperors contributed to the rise of a series of rebellions.
同一時期，引起內部腐敗和無能君王引起的自然災害如干旱和饑荒導致了一系列叛亂的產生。The Huang Chao rebellion of the 9th century, which resulted in the sacking of both Chang'an and Luoyang was the most destructive and took over 10 years to suppress.
9世紀時致使長安和洛陽被洗劫的黃巢之亂是最具破壞性的，皇帝用了10年時間才得以鎮壓。In 907, after almost 300 years in power, the dynasty was ended when one of the military governors, Zhu Wen, deposed the last emperor and took the throne for himself which thereby inaugurated the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period.
907年，在執政300年之後，唐朝走到了盡頭，武裝長官之一的朱溫罷黜了最後一任皇帝，自立爲帝，開啓了五代十國時期。
