Another map of the territory of the Sui Dynasty (581-618 AD) showing three major cities (Chang An, Hangzhou and Guangzhou). This dynasty has often been compared to the earlier Qin Dynasty in tenor and in the ruthlessness of its accomplishments. The Sui dynasty's early demise was attributed to the government's tyrannical demands on the people, who bore the crushing burden of taxes and compulsory labor. These resources were overstrained by the completion of the Grand Canal.

Yang Jian AKA "Emperor Wen" founded the Sui dynasty circa 589. The house of Sui ruled China like the rulers of the Qin dynasty. They promoted a strong, centralized government.

Revolts occurred, and the third and last Sui emperor was eventually assassinated by a minister.
