Features: Rising from the ruins of the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty not only inherited the achievements in politics, economy, and culture from the Three Dynasties and especially from the Han and Jin periods, particularly the institutional framework established by the Sui Dynasty, but also, through its own efforts, elevated these achievements to their peak. The institutional framework of the Tang Dynasty was not only authoritative but also summative, becoming a model for later generations to emulate and exerting a broad and profound influence. This book introduces the institutional framework of the Tang Dynasty primarily from the perspectives of its military, fiscal, legal, ceremonial, electoral, and official systems, including their establishment and content.
