Tang and Song dynasty China resembled the Han dynasty period in a number of ways, including the maintenance of the imperial political system, and the importance of a professional bureaucracy formally trained and subject to competitive exams.
Also similar was a focus on establishing a dominant political position in East Asia that was recognized by China’s neighbors; an interest in and support for long-distance trade; and the continued importance of the Confucian tradition in elite society.
China also experienced important changes following the Han dynasty period,including tighter unification of northern and southern China through a vast waterway system; the long-term migration of Chinese populations south into the Yangzi River valley after 220 C.E.; and an economic revolution that made it the richest empire on earth.
There was rapid population growth, from 50 million to 60 million people during the Tang dynasty to 120 million people by 1200, which was spurred in part by a remarkable growth in agricultural production.

Religion.
The explanation given in your question explains the meaning of Marx's famous line that "religion is the opiate of the masses." The full quote of what Marx said goes like this (in translation from the original German): "<span>"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."
</span>
What Marx meant was that the promises of religion were used to keep the poor from fighting against the gross inequality that favored the upper classes. Religion taught them to put their hope in the next life rather than in this life. He compared that to the way a drug user (of a drug like opium) finds comfort and escape through drug use, even though the drug doesn't really solve the problems of his present life.
