“贞观之治”所谓“治世”质疑

The Governance of Zhenguan So-called“Times of Peace and Prosperity” Questioned

"贞观之治"历来为后世所称道,认为唐太宗在位时期政治清明,经济繁荣,国力强盛,人民安居乐业。实则不然。通过对唐太宗时期社会生活诸多方面的考证,以及对吴兢编撰《贞观政要》的背景考察,可以发现贞观时期的真实状况与太平治世并不相符,诚如顾颉刚先生"层累地造成的中国古史说"所言,实有后世夸大溢美之嫌。

The governance of Zhenguan has always been praised by people of posterity, thinking this reign of the emperor Tai Zong period as being politically correct, economically prosperous, and nationally strong and powerful, with people living and working in peace and contentment. But textual research on this period, such as the background of Wu Jing＇s compilation of Zhenguan Main Points of Administration proves it not to be the truth, just as Gu Jiegang＇s theory of ＂Cenglei theory＂ tells, Tai Zong＇s governance in this period has been magnified.
