Conclusion
Several citations are given establishing the presence of a large number of Zoroastrians who built many fire temples and held high positions in the Tang dynasty. The citations from several Chinese scholars' research and organized studies noted their final downfall due to the treacherous acts of An Lushan, the Supreme Commanding General of the Tang army, ensuing the massacre of thousands of Zoroastrians. Other contributing factors include their proselytizing activities resulting in their persecution from 875 AD onwards and to escape persecution they were encouraged to become Buddhists or Manicheans, and last but not the least is the intermarriages contributing to the slow disappearance of Zoroastrianism and ending in their final assimilation leaving no trace by 1670 AD.
