Social Studies Question (Tang Dynasty)

I have a question, in the textbook it says: Did Confucius live before, during, or after the Tang Dynasty?


Confucius lived from 551 to 479 B.C.

Tang Dynasty started in 618

Help?

I think it's during. I'm trying to remember from last year *headdesk*

LOL XD so are you in 8th grade? And thank you 😃

Yup. American Studies is so much better than Medieval History.
But I honestly do think it's during. Because if it started in 618 BC, then 551-497 BC would be in that time period. Wait, do you know when the Tang dynasty collapsed? o.o

Mmm, no I don't really know when the Tang Dynasty collapsed. All it said in the textbook was: Eventually, the Tang Dynasty collapsed.

Okay, with that given information you can say it was during! ^^
