What changes did Emperor Taizong's rule over Guan Zhen bring to the Tang Dynasty at that time?

1 economic policy

Economically, the farmland equalization system and rent adjustment system make it possible for farmers to stabilize production, and farming sometimes promotes economic development. Attach importance to agriculture and reduce farmers' tax labor. Restrain luxury and simplicity, and control your own hedonism; Eliminating the disadvantages of fewer people and more officials is conducive to reducing the burden on the people.

2. Business development

The feudal dynasty in China has always been characterized by emphasizing agriculture and restraining commerce, and the proportion of commerce in the national economy is quite low. In addition, the tradition of scholars, farmers and businessmen makes the status of businessmen lower than that of farmers by several grades. This is the main reason why China's feudal economy has not been substantially developed.

Zhenguan Dynasty is one of the few feudal dynasties in the history of China that did not discriminate against business. It is not only non-discriminatory, but also provides many convenient conditions for business development, which further shows that Li Shimin has set its sights far. Under the advocacy of Li Shimin government, the commercial economy in Zhenguan period has made great progress, and new commercial cities have mushroomed. At that time, more than half of the world-famous commercial cities were concentrated in China. In addition to JIAOZHOU, Guangzhou, Mingzhou and Fuzhou along the coast, there are also Hongzhou (Nanchang, Jiangxi), Yangzhou and Yizhou (Chengdu) in the inland and Shazhou and Liangzhou in the northwest. The capitals Chang 'an and Luoyang are both international metropolises.

The Silk Road, which was opened up in the Han Dynasty, has always been a link between eastern and western material civilizations. In the Tang Dynasty, there were four towns in Anxi in the western regions, and the western border directly reached the stone country in Central Asia (present-day Kazakhstan), which provided a stable social order and effective guarantee for business travel between the East and the West. As a result, commercial travel on the Silk Road emerges one after another, and all kinds of bulk goods are transmitted between the East and the West, making the Silk Road a golden corridor for the whole world.

culture

Attach importance to cultural construction: there has been unprecedented development in culture, and since Li Yuan, he has attached great importance to book collection. In the third year of Wude (620), he collected more than 80,000 books and cultural relics in the Guanwen Hall and Xiuwen Hall in Luoyang. At the beginning of Zhenguan, imperial edicts collected books all over the country, gathered more than 200,000 volumes of four books in Hong Wen Temple, and built Hong Wen Pavilion next to Hong Wen Temple to store books. Yu Shinan, Chu Wuliang, Yao Silian and Ou Yangxun were appointed as bachelor's degrees, Wei Zhi, Yu Shinan, Yan Shigu and other famous scholars and masters successively served as secretaries' supervisors, in charge of the national libraries and collections, and those with more than five books were calligraphers. The officials who proofread books were located in Hong Wen Pavilion to write, sort out and proofread books, which were hidden in the inner library and were in charge of the imperial envoys.

In addition to Hong Wen Museum, there are other government libraries, such as History Museum, Department of Economic Management, Secretariat Province and Chongwen Museum. The quality and quantity of their books far exceed that of the previous generation, and they are called big books. In his later years, due to years of fighting and building palaces, miscellaneous taxes became increasingly heavy.

nation

During the reign of Emperor Taizong, he strengthened the ties between the Han nationality and ethnic minorities in China, strengthened the jurisdiction over the northwest and other regions, and strengthened friendly exchanges with Asian countries.

diplomacy

Due to the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire (395- 1453), the West became fragmented. The Tang Dynasty Empire, especially the Zhenguan period, was the only unified empire with the strongest civilization in the world at that time, and Chang 'an, the capital, was a cosmopolitan city. At that time, the Tang Empire was the sunshine zone in the eyes of people with lofty ideals all over the world, and outstanding talents from all over the world risked their lives to rush to the Tang Empire. Envoys from all over the world praised the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. The highly developed culture of the Tang Dynasty made most people in all countries proud of being the Tang Dynasty. Not only the capital Chang 'an, but also expatriates from all over the country have settled in the area. Especially in emerging commercial cities, Guangzhou alone has more than 200,000 western expatriates. During the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty was a rare and completely open era in the history of China. It was more open than the Han Dynasty, which was limited to trade and missionary work, so that ordinary people from all over the world could come to the Tang Dynasty to see the elegance of the Tang Dynasty empire, and the borders and customs were quite open. Absorb foreign culture and material civilization to the maximum extent.

In addition to accepting a large number of foreign immigrants, the Tang Dynasty also received batches of foreign students to study advanced culture in China. There are seven groups of Japanese public students, each with hundreds of students. Private self-funded international students far exceed this figure. After these Japanese students returned to China, they carried out the first modernization movement in Japan, that is, the China Movement, which imitated the Zhenguan Dynasty in terms of laws and regulations and clothing customs at that time, and made the Japanese nation in the primitive tribal state leap forward 1000.

society

According to historical records, many officials were very self-disciplined during the Zhenguan period. The most common name for ruling the house of concubines is Howard Wu, who is afraid of prestige and dare not invade others. When traveling in the wild, there are no thieves, the prison is often empty, there are no cattle and horses, and the family outside is not closed. It also frequently leads to bumper harvests, with a bucket of three or four yuan per meter. From Shi Jing to Lingbiao, from Shandong to the seaside, everything is not food, so it gives way. When entering a village in Shandong, passing passengers will be treated kindly, or they will get a gift when they send it. This has never happened before.
