隋唐政治、经济、文化的发展，影响了亚洲，尤其是东亚的许多国家。唐都长安，不仅是当时的政治中心，而且是亚洲各国经济文化交流的中心之一。因为唐朝在国际上的影响巨大而深远，国外称中国人为“唐人”。

  The burgeoning economy and culture of the Sui and Tang dynasties influenced the whole of Asia, especially the countries in East Asia. Chang'an, the capital city of the Tang Dynasty, was not only the political center of China at that time, it was also one of the centers for economic and cultural exchanges in the whole Asian region. Because of the Tang Dynasty's enormous international influence, Chinese people were called the "people of Tang" by their neighbors.
