Tang slogan in an extraordinary period

According to historical records, during the period of Emperor Taizong, the Tang Dynasty was ruled by Zhenguan. At this time, the economy of the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, the capital was densely populated, and the traffic was busy, so that some traffic accidents often occurred in Chang 'an, which was not conducive to maintaining public order in Chang 'an. At that time, many foreign guests came and went in Chang 'an. In order to maintain the order of Chang 'an, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, ordered the promulgation of the earliest traffic regulations in China.

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the legal system of China feudal society was very complete. The legal system of laws, decrees, forms and forms covers all aspects of civil, criminal and economic provisions and traffic management, and the order of documents is a model in this regard. Ritual system is a legal etiquette promulgated by the imperial court, that is, the etiquette system pursued by the society, and order is order. It is an order issued according to the etiquette system and is legally mandatory.

Is it stipulated in the instrument order? Streets and alleys, avoid base, avoid long, avoid heavy, avoid coming. It is advisable to make Sanjing and the provincial capitals go down to towns and villages every time, and remove old instruments on the roads to show them to passers-by, and designate the litigation of this department to patrol. Anyone who breaks the law is guilty. ? It means that in the streets, all pedestrians, cars and horses should make way for official cars and post-station cars, ordinary people should make way for dignitaries, young people should make way for the elderly, when two cars meet, light vehicles should avoid heavy vehicles, downhill people should make way for uphill people, and pedestrians should make way for cars and horses driving in the same direction. If someone violates this rule, he needs to be punished.

Of course, for feudal society, the ruling class often enjoyed certain privileges, as stipulated by the ritual order? When all the doctors saw the Prime Minister, they all got off the horse. ,? People who are less than the civil and military three products worship one product? This strict hierarchical system reflects the disadvantages of feudal rule to a certain extent, but we should look at the problem from a development perspective and treat the ancient system. We should take its essence and discard its dross. Generally speaking, as the embryonic form of ancient traffic laws and regulations in China, Yiling promoted the development of transportation and ethnic exchanges to a certain extent.
