Tang Code

Tang Code

The Tang Code (唐律) was the criminal or penal code established during the Tang Dynasty in China. Supplemented by civil statutes and regulations, it became the basis for later dynastic codes not only in China but elsewhere in East Asia. The Code synthesised Legalist and Confucian of law, and is considered one of the greatest achievements of traditional Chinese law. It is composed of 500 articles and 12 sections. It was created in 624 AD, revised in 627 AD and once again revised in 637 AD due to Confucian influence.
