隋朝在中国通史上的地位

The Status of Sui Dynasty in General History of China

中国古代封建专制主义中央集权的王朝历史,从公元前221年建立的秦朝至清朝共二千余年。其政治体制,"天子独尊,宰相统摄百僚"的制度开创于秦朝。经过七八百年的发展,隋朝创立的天子之下"三省六部"制度完善了这种政治体制;创立的科举制度,空前扩大了社会基础。隋朝短暂38年,为隋唐统一天下的草创、为封建社会后期千余年的政治经济发展都作出了划历史时代的贡献。

The feudal autocracy of ancient China has a long history of over 2000 years from 221 BC, the beginning of Qin Dynasty to the fall of Qing Dynasty. Qin Dynasty built the political system of Imperial domination and prime ministers in charge of other ofricers. Sui Dynasty developed it into the central government system of Three Councils and Six Boards 800 years later. And the estab- lishment of imperial examination system had unprecedentedly enlarged the social foundation. 38 years as Sui Dynasty lasted; it started the process of China＇ s unification in Tang Dynasty. So, Sui Dynasty made an epoch-making contribution to the political and economic development in the late thousand years of feudal society.
