Tang Dynasty established a unique and complete feudal legal system, including legislative guiding ideology , legislative system and judicial system. The guiding ideology of the Tang Dynasty emphasized morality and etiquette, with the foundation of politics and education, supplemented by punishment, and legislative technology was unprecedentedly improved, and there has also made great progress in the judicial field. The unprecedentedly complete legal system of the Tang Dynasty was of great significance to the prosperity and development of the Tang Dynasty, and also had a significant impact on many Asian countries.
The ruling group in the early Tang Dynasty knew the importance of people's support and proposed the rule of governing the country with "peace of people and peaceful countries". It was under the guidance of this policy that the feudal ruling group headed by Emperor Taizong of Tang established the legislative guiding ideology of "virtue and etiquette as the basis and punishment as the use" in the Tang Dynasty. It embodies the basic spirit of the legal system of reducing punishment in the early Tang Dynasty and is a summary of the experience of legal system construction over the past 30 years of founding the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Dynasty adopted the legal form of Sui Dynasty , mainly including four types: law, order, format and format: law is the code for conviction and sentencing; order is the code for all aspects of national political and social life; Gen is the emperor's edict compiled by the emperor, which has the nature of a compilation of laws and regulations; style is the regular and widely used service rules and official documents procedures of state organs.
's relationship with laws, orders, formats, and formats. It can be seen that orders, formats and formats are systems, norms and norms that state organs and officials and people should comply with from the positive aspects, while laws stipulate criminal sanctions for violations of orders, formats and all other crimes from the negative aspects. The four are clearly distinguished and coordinated. This is a high achievement of the legislative technology of the early Tang Dynasty, and it is also a significant reflection of the efforts to handle criminal and prisons carefully and the unified legal system.
Tang Law content involves criminal, civil and economic aspects. In terms of criminal matters, the main crimes include endangering the power of the feudal state and damaging the dignity of the emperor, such as treason, treason, treason, and making evil words, and crimes of defiance of feudal family ethics, such as unfilial piety, disgrace, and injustice, and crimes of dereliction of duty, dereliction of duty, abuse of power, and corruption, such as resignation of duty, leaking secrets, using power for personal gain, and corruption in the breach of law. In addition, there are also crimes of feudal national security and economic interests, crimes of endangering the public and obstructing urban and market management, crimes of infringement of personal life, crimes of property robbery, etc.
In terms of civil affairs, Tang Law involves ownership, contractual relationship, family and marriage and inheritance. Tang Lu made relevant provisions on the restriction of private land area, the ownership of lost and buried objects, and the ownership of mountains, forests and minerals. Tang Lu stipulated the relationship between private contracts such as sales contracts, loan contracts and lease contracts based on the principle of keeping trust.
In terms of economics, Tanglu has made relevant regulations on monopoly and foreign trade . The Monopoly Law mainly deals with various regulations on salt, tea and wine. Foreign trade has formulated a trading and maritime system.
The judicial system of the Tang Dynasty was also very complete and had its own characteristics. The judicial organs of the Tang Dynasty were divided into two systems: central and local systems, which was a tradition since Shang Yang's reforms .
In these two judicial systems, the central judicial system occupies a dominant position, and the emperor combines judicial, administrative, supervision and military powers; local judicial organs have certain autonomy, but they are very limited. This fully reflects the authoritarianism further developed by the Tang Dynasty centralized system .
