Features: For a long time, academic research on the legal history of the Tang Dynasty has focused solely on the Tang Code as one legal form, without comprehensively examining the four legal forms—code, ordinances, decrees, and formats—as an interconnected whole. This book takes the existing Tang Dynasty code, ordinances, decrees, and formats as a, combining newly unearthed documents such as the Dunhuang Turpan manuscripts and ancient Chinese and foreign classics to explore the legal system of Tang Dynasty code, ordinances, decrees, and formats, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty's legal system and Japan's legal system, as well as the economic, civil, religious, and foreign-related laws under the Tang Dynasty's code, ordinances, decrees, and formats system, in order to address the shortcomings in this area of research.
