Which practice decreased in prominence as Xuanzong's reign declined?
Trade
Buddhism
Meritocracy
Agriculture
Answer
Meritocracy, the system of government in which officials are selected based on their abilities, declined as Xuanzong's reign came to an end. This decline was brought about by a number of factors, including Xuanzong's increasing dependence on eunuchs and his own growing autocratic tendencies. The decline of meritocracy had a significant impact on the Tang Dynasty, as it led to a decline in the quality of governance and increased corruption.
