Major Scholarly Achievements in the Research on the Tang Code over the Past 30 Years

Over the past three decades, a great number of scholarly achievements in the research on the Tang Code, including 19 monographs and 476 articles, have been published in China. According to content, they can be roughly classified into annotation-typed achievements, commentary-typed achievements and featured articles. Some scholars have explored the Tang Code from such perspectives as year of promulgation, nature of the Code, historical backgrounds, features, influences, status and so on. More scholars focused on the legal thoughts, the framework and specific aspects of the Tang Code. To further explain these aspects, a series of issues, including the legal principles, the legal systems and provisions on various crimes in the Tang Code have been discussed at length. These achievements are attributed to the following factors. Firstly, the Tang Code is extremely important to the research on the legal history of Tang Dynasty, of ancient China, of East Asia and even of the whole world. Secondly, legal education has grown by leaps and bounds in the past thirty years. Thirdly, people''s minds have been emancipated and a relatively free academic environment has been built. There is a large potential for the future studies on the Tang Code and more research approaches, such as comparative, culture-related, empirical, historiographical approaches, can be taken, and research on the overseas studies on Tang Code is also expected to deepen in the future.
