| | McClung Museum - Chinese Tang Pottery |
 | | With a history reaching back to before the third century BC, tomb figures and furnishings were an important aspect of the Chinese culture. | | | The reunification of China between AD 580 and 589, following years of chaos after the fall of the powerful Han dynasty in AD 220, marked the beginning of this new era. | | | This rebellion, followed by a Tibetan invasion in AD 763, contributed to the decline of the empire, which continued into the 10th century with the central Tang government steadily losing its power to military governors in the provinces. |

| | It is actively embraced as a symbol by Chinese reunification supporters as a historical link with mainland China, while a number of Taiwan independence supporters shun the flag for mainly the same reasons. | | | The National Flag of the Republic of China (Chinese: 中華民國國旗; pinyin: zhōng huý mýn guý guý qý) is a well-known symbol of the Republic of China (ROC), which since 1949 has been based on the island of Taiwan. | | | It is commonly referred to in Chinese as Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth (青天、白日、滿地紅 qīng tiān, býi rý, măn dý hýng) to reflect its physical appearance. |

| | Another reason is that the ROC itself remains split between supporters of Chinese nationalism, who support eventual Chinese reunification, and supporters of Taiwan independence, who reject political reunification as an ultimate goal and believe Taiwan is and should be an independent republic out of the current PRC. | | | Others have asserted that Chinese nationalism is fundamentally an imperialist and/or racist ideology which in practice has led to oppression of minority groups such as Tibetans and Uighurs. | | | This situation changed in the 19th century when contact with the West and internal crises created a self-concept of a Chinese state and the belief that Chinese interests were served by a powerful Chinese state. |

| | The Chinese government's declaration in 1979 on implementing the principle of peaceful reunification was based on the premise that the Taiwan authorities at that time upheld the principle that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is a part of China. | | | The Chinese Government advocates that the final purpose of cross- Straits negotiations is to achieve peaceful reunification; and that to achieve this purpose, talks should be held based on the principle of one China. | | | Moreover, the Chinese Government acknowledges the differences between Taiwan on the one hand and Hong Kong and Macao on the other and, after peaceful reunification, is prepared to apply a looser form of the "one country, two systems" policy in Taiwan than in Hong Kong and Macao. |

| | Chinese reunification is a goal of Chinese nationalism which is the unification of all of China under a single political entity. | | | Accordingly, from the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949 until the mid-1970s the concept of reunification was not the main subject of discourse between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China; each formally envisioned a military takeover of one by the other. | | | Until the mid-1990s, supporters of Chinese reunification on Taiwan were also bitterly opposed to the Communist Party of China. |
