唐王朝的法与刑

Law and Punishment of Tang Dynasty

关于唐代法律的研究成果颇丰,但也存在片面和局限之处,比如以往的研究过分依赖《唐律疏议》,以致连一些正史中的志、传及一些官修史书等基本资料都很少发掘利用。资料的局限难免造成研究视野的狭窄和研究结论的重复,如果我们在资料方面稍花气力,就会感到唐代的法制有更多的教训和经验值得我们去总结,对唐法(而不局限于唐律)更深刻的探讨与研究,也许尚需假以时日。

The research results about the laws of Tang Dynasty are quite rich, but there are still limitations. In the past the research relied on Commentaries on the Code of Tang excessively. As the result, the annals and commentaries in the official history and some officially organized history books have been seldom explored and used. It is inevitable to result in the narrow researching view and repetition of researching conclusion due to the limitation of materials. If efforts are made in the aspect of material, it can be found that more lessons and experience in the legal system of Tang Dynasty are worthy of studying. Maybe it takes time to start further exploration and research on the laws of Tang Dynasty （ not limited to Tang Code）.
