唐前期灾害应对实效性再探——以中央赈灾政令为中心

Further Discussion on Effectiveness of Disaster Response in the Early Stage of the Tang Dynasty:Centered on the Central Relief Decree

唐朝前期,唐中央在灾害应对的实效性上存在一定的问题,加之将繁冗复杂的救助制度纳入唐的日常政务系统,由此导致了救助时效的滞后与拖延,使得赈济效果受到影响,但这种中央政务的拖延也在一定程度上激发了地方社会自我救助力量的增长。再加上有关唐前期灾害赈济的文献呈现出以虚代实的特点,一定程度上遮蔽了制度规定与实际运行两者间的巨大反差,影响了我们对于唐前期灾害应对实效性的判断。

In the early stage of Tang Dynasty, the central government for disaster response had a certain degree of effectiveness problems, the burdensome and complicated system had always been put into a daily part of government system, resulting in the lag of rescue timeliness, thus the final relief effect have also been affected, which stimulated the growth of the local society self rescue efforts. Literature about disaster relief of the early Tang Dynasty presents the characteristics of taking virtual as real, covered the huge contrast between institutional regulations and actual operation to some extent, and affected the judgment of the effectiveness of disaster response in the early stage of Tang Dynasty.
