Historical Significance of Rule of Virtue and Rule of Law in Han and Tang Dynasties
The historical significance of the rule of virtue and the rule of law in Han and Tang Dynasties is as follows:

The reform of 1 and * * * improved the ruling ability of the court. The reform of "reading the law" and "governing the country" in the Tang Dynasty centralized political power from the imperial court, made it more centralized, controlled the local government more effectively, and improved the ruling ability of the imperial court.

There are many theorists of rule by virtue in history, but in practice, no dynasty can maintain its rule by virtue alone. Only by combining the rule of virtue with the rule of law can the country become rich and strong. History has eloquently proved this point. In 1 1 century BC, the Duke of Zhou put forward an important decision of "ruling by politics and punishing by rites and music" at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. For the first time, the combination of virtue and law initiated the rule of virtue and rule of law in ancient China. Under the influence of the general plan of governing the country by virtue and being cautious about independence, a series of changes have taken place in the legal system of the Zhou Dynasty.

First of all, the four punishments of flowing, redemption, whipping and pouncing should be continued after Mo, Mo, Gong and Wu, so as to avoid hurting people's limbs or lives with corporal punishment; Secondly, Duke Zhou put forward that there is no principle to distinguish between punishment and suspected crime, and there is no principle to forgive suspected crime, which embodies the advanced nature of China's ancient legal system. Third, the Duke of Zhou warned Kang Shu to use mild punishment, demanding that the punishment be lenient and moderate, so that the prisoners would have no complaints; Finally, in order to accurately convict, the "three thorns" method is implemented to listen to the opinions of all parties.
