What lessons did Tang Taizong, Wu Zetian and Tang Xuanzong bring to future generations?

1. Emperor Taizong

first of all, it was a top-level design, which realized the first transformation of "ruling the country first", then realized the transformation from conquering the world to ruling the world, and finally established the historical transformation of taking the people as the foundation and hiding wealth from the people.

Secondly, we should rebuild social integrity with national integrity as the starting point. Establish a systematic legal system with great efforts and unswervingly implement the rule of law. At the same time, great efforts have been made in the construction of major systems such as national political system, economic policy, talent selection and assessment management, and laws and systems constitute the basis of national governance.

the third is to make it clear that the central task of the country is cultural construction. Starting with culture and education, it will greatly improve the cultural accomplishment and moral level of the whole people, advocate fairness, justice and institutional loyalty, and become the most powerful centripetal force of the country, a gathering place for world talents and a highland for culture and art. A prosperous and civilized Tang Dynasty was so majestic in the world.

The reference for future generations is that governing the country should start from various aspects, make good use of collective decision-making and respect other people's suggestions.

2, Wu Zetian

First, politically, Wu Zetian, as a politician, is famous for knowing people and being good at their duties. Wu Zetian was once known as a "gentleman full of dynasties", and Di Renjie and other famous sages were among them. Later, Yao Chong and Song Jing, the "sages of Kaiyuan", were also promoted during Wu Zetian's period. Wu Zetian's good at employing people is also reflected in her reform and innovation in the employment system. She reformed the imperial examination and improved the status of Jinshi. Hold the palace examination; Create a variety of systems such as martial arts, bootstrapping, and trial officials, so that a large number of children from poor families have the opportunity to show their talents. Zi Zhi Tong Jian evaluates Wu Zetian; "Politics comes from oneself, and it is clear-sighted and good-judged, so at that time, Yingxian actually used it."

Second, economically, Wu Zetian put forward the ideas of "sparing taxes and collecting taxes, putting an end to hostilities and saving labor" as early as in the "Twelve Suggestions" to ensure the farming season; During its half century in power, the social economy developed rapidly. The number of registered permanent residence was 3.8 million in the third year of Yonghui (652), and it increased to 6.15 million in the first year of Shenlong (75) when Wu Zetian abdicated. At this time, the land equalization system began to disintegrate, and the phenomenon of people fleeing began to be widespread. Wu Zetian adopted a relatively tolerant policy to promote the development of productive forces.

The lesson for future generations is that politicians should be good at employing people, be brave in reforming the old system, be people-oriented and pay attention to economic development.

3. Overall evaluation of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty: Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was an enlightened monarch in the early stage (on the whole); Know people and make good use of them, appoint people on their merits, and be courteous and virtuous; He contributed to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and was the spokesman of the monarch in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. In the later period of the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he gradually indulged in pleasure and ignored political affairs. He also appointed treacherous officials, resulting in chaos in the political affairs of the court (which led to the increasingly corrupt politics of the rebellious court headed by An Lushan and Shi Siming, and the self-respecting side would take the opportunity to rise up), which led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, which was called the "Anshi Rebellion" in history.

The reference for future generations is that no matter what, It is necessary to coordinate the balance of rights between the central and local governments, avoid local separatist forces, and strengthen centralization.
