Who contributed more, Emperor Taizong or Emperor Xuanzong?
Emperor Taizong was the founder of the Tang Dynasty, but Xuanzong developed the Tang Dynasty and brought glory! Each has his own merits, and this is history. However, Tang Taizong's personality charm index is very high. Li Shimin, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, whose name means "helping the world and people". Han nationality, Longxi native, politician, strategist, calligrapher, poet, Zhao County native. After he acceded to the throne, he actively listened to the opinions of ministers, studied hard to govern the world, and successfully turned into one of the most famous politicians and wise kings in the history of China. Emperor Taizong initiated the "rule of chastity" in history. After actively eliminating the separatist forces in various places, Chabr was modest, and food was the first thing for the people, which finally made the society peaceful and peaceful. It laid an important foundation for the prosperity of the Kaiyuan period and pushed the traditional Chinese agricultural society to the peak. First of all, the political system and economic prosperity of the Sui Dynasty created conditions for the Tang Dynasty to strengthen centralization and develop the economy. However, Yang Di's tyranny, extravagance and corruption, enslavement of the people and belligerence destroyed social production, intensified social contradictions and led to peasant uprising. The rulers of the early Tang Dynasty witnessed the process of the disintegration of the Sui Dynasty by the peasant war, realized the importance of the peasants to the stability of feudal rule, learned the lessons from the demise of the Sui Dynasty, and adjusted the ruling policies to ease class contradictions, stabilize social order, and restore the economy. Secondly, due to the above factors, Emperor Taizong established the concept of "protecting the people", "emphasizing talents" and "strengthening politics", which was realized through a series of institutional policies, measures and unremitting practice. First of all, Emperor Taizong realized that the relationship between the ruler and the people was a "boat-water" relationship and adjusted the land tax system to "protect the people". Second, we have realized the significance of attaching importance to talents, teaching with an open mind, doing one's duty well, making suggestions, creating an atmosphere of political clarity, and ensuring the formulation and implementation of more enlightened and correct political, economic, ethnic, diplomatic and cultural policies. Third, strengthen politics, improve the system of three provinces and six departments and the imperial examination system, so as to consolidate centralization, improve administrative efficiency and expand the ruling foundation. Note: employing people and being trainable is not only the cause of the rule of Zhenguan, but also an important manifestation of Zhenguan. During the reign of Li Shimin, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was strong, which was called the rule of Zhenguan. In his later years, he wrote a book "Emperor Fan" to teach the prince, summed up his life's political experience and commented on his own merits and demerits. During his reign, he carried out the system of officers and men, the system of renting agents and the system of land equalization, and actively promoted the imperial examination system. Emperor Taizong was good at listening to ministers' criticisms and opinions, and Kevin·Z directly protested his mistakes more than 200 times. Emperor Taizong was also good at calligraphy, writing tablets line by line, and was the originator of later generations. Famous works include Ming in Hot Springs and Ming in Jinci. After his death, Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wrote Preface to Lanting Collection as a funerary object. The rule of Zhenguan refers to the peaceful and prosperous times in the early Tang Dynasty. Because Emperor Taizong can be virtuous, he knows people and makes good use of them. Open the way, modestly coachable, reuse Wei Zhi, etc. And adopted policies such as taking agriculture as the foundation, reducing taxes, recuperating, practicing economy and perfecting the imperial examination system, so as to make the society peaceful. And later Li Longji's "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng" stood side by side. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, reigned for 23 years, which made the Tang Dynasty enjoy economic development, social stability, political clarity, people's prosperity and well-being, and unprecedented prosperity. Because his title is Zhenguan, people call this period of his rule "Zhenguan rule". The rule of Zhenguan is the most dazzling period in the history of China. Emperor Taizong absorbed the reasons for the demise of the Sui Dynasty and attached great importance to the lives of ordinary people. He emphasized people-oriented, and often said: "People, water is also; June, Zhou Ye. Water can carry a boat or overturn it. " At the beginning of Emperor Taizong's accession to the throne, he ordered the people to recuperate. Emperor Taizong cherished the people's strength and never collected corvees easily. He suffered from Qi disease and was not suitable to live in a damp old palace, but he lived in the old palace of the Sui Dynasty for a long time. At the beginning of Zhenguan, under the leadership of Emperor Taizong, the monarch and ministers were in harmony, the whole country was United as one, and the economy improved rapidly. During the Zhenguan period of 1989, cattle and horses were everywhere, and the people were well-fed and well-fed, and the roads were not picked up at night, which was a prosperous scene of peace and prosperity. Emperor Taizong was in office for more than 20 years, and more than 30 officials remonstrated. Among them, Minister Wei Zhi's advice reached more than 200 pieces with hundreds of thousands of words, all of which hit the nail on the head and were very helpful for improving state affairs. Emperor Taizong attached great importance to the selection of talents and strictly followed the principle of having both ability and political integrity. Emperor Taizong believes that only by selecting a large number of people with real talents and practical learning can we achieve great harmony in the world. Therefore, he was thirsty for talents, and issued five imperial edicts for seeking talents, and increased the subjects of imperial examinations, expanding the scope and number of candidates, so as to expose more talents. Because Emperor Taizong attached importance to talents, a large number of outstanding talents emerged in Zhenguan period, which can be described as "talents with both civil and military skills". It is these talents who, with their intelligence, have made great contributions to the formation of "Zhenguan rule". Emperor Taizong attached great importance to the rule of law. He once said: "The national law is not the law of the emperor alone, but the law that everyone in the world must abide by, so everything must obey the law." After the promulgation of the law, Emperor Taizong set an example and took the lead in obeying the law, thus maintaining the unity and stability of the law. During the Zhenguan period, the prince really broke the law and shared the crime with the people. When enforcing the law, he was impartial, but when sentencing, Taizong thought twice and was cautious. He said: "People can't be resurrected after death, and law enforcement must be combined with leniency and severity." Due to the painstaking efforts of Emperor Taizong, the legal system was very good during the Zhenguan period, and few people were sentenced to death for breaking the law. According to the records of Zhenguan for three years, only 29 people were sentenced to death, which almost reached the highest standard of feudal society and legal system-"criminal measures" can be exempted from punishment. People-oriented thinking, open the way and open the mind that is easy to be trained; Reuse talents and appoint people on their merits is the criterion; Impatience and selflessness, and the tolerance of doing things according to law; It constitutes the basic characteristics of Zhenguan rule and becomes the best example of feudal rule. Compared with the western countries at that time, the Tang Dynasty was at the forefront of the world in politics, economy and culture.
