试论隋唐义仓在救荒中的弊端

Drawbacks of Public Relief-grain Granary in the Sui and Tang Dynasties

义仓作为隋唐时期救荒的重要措施之一，在救灾过程中发挥过积极的作用，但在实际运行的过程中也表现出了许多的弊端。义仓税的征收加重了人民的负担；由于官府督办义仓，造成了救济上的不方便；同时义仓多设于州县治所地区，使得它的救济范围过小。

Public relief-grain granary, as one of the important relief measures, played a positive role in disaster relief. However, some drawbacks revealed themselves in the practice. The granary tax imposed a heavy burden on the people. The local authorities' management brought inconvenience to relief work. And only a few people could get relief grain because public granaries used to be built in the capital of a county or a prefecture.
