Please use the ancient history of China and the historical facts of Sui and Tang Dynasties to demonstrate the following views: institutional innovation is the driving force for social development and progress. In feudal times, the system innovation in Sui and Tang Dynasties was the most, which met the needs of social development and progress at that time.

In terms of political system, there are imperial examination system and three provinces and six departments system. These two things were invented by Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. Both of them are to strengthen centralization and weaken local power; Strengthen the centralization of the emperor and weaken the power of the prime minister; So later 1000 years of feudal dynasties were copied without exception.

In law, the most important institutional innovation is Emperor Wen's "opening the imperial calendar". The "heinous crime" that we often mention now is the important content in it and the core idea of "assisting rituals into the law". This "ceremony" is not what we are talking about now, such as etiquette, courtesy, treating people and other moral rules, but specifically refers to the feudal hierarchical order, clearly proposing to use all the violent potential of the country to maintain the hierarchical system with the emperor as the core. Therefore, the concept of "Huang Kaili" was also imitated by later generations.

So westerners look at the history of China. Among the 100 people who have the most influence on the history of China, Emperor Wendi of Sui ranks first (it seems to be in the top ten). Because westerners think he has made great achievements in system construction. In China, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty would never have such a high position. One of the reasons is that the Sui Dynasty was too short, only 32 years. Another reason is that Emperor Wendi was unfair and bloody, and he lost a lot of points in China's traditional moral evaluation.

As for the agricultural policy in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was an equal land system. The tax system is a kind of rent system; All these were invented by the Empress Dowager of Northern Wei Civilization (Feng Taihou), which played a positive role in promoting social progress and development for a period of time. However, there was a big loophole in the system, and farmers kept taking countermeasures to avoid it, and it collapsed after the middle of the Tang Dynasty.

Military service system, a government military system in Sui and Tang Dynasties, was invented in the Northern Wei Dynasty. During Xuanzong period of Tang Dynasty, the recruitment system was changed, which played an important role in opening up the territory and fighting against Tubo and the Arab Empire in Kaiyuan period. During this period, the Tang Dynasty was the master of Central Asia. If it weren't for the Anshi Rebellion, Central Asia would definitely not be the Central Asia we see now, but it belongs to the Islamic cultural circle.
