| "Reward and punishment are the only way to deal with state affairs." As an important strategy for governing a country,rewards have always been valued by rulers and have become one of the means to secure borders and establish a country.The rewards given to different regions and groups of people often have different political purposes,either to promote the loyalty of the country,to ensure the economic security of the Tang Dynasty,or to maintain the military security of the Tang Dynasty,which together constitute the foundation for maintaining the stability of the Tang Dynasty.Therefore,through rewards,one can glimpse the different roles played by different populations and regions in maintaining the rule of the Tang Dynasty.Although rewards belong to political activities,they are based on the economy.Therefore,studying rewards can help us understand the economic situation and comprehensive national strength at that time.From the extensive records of reward activities in the "Old Book of Tang","New Book of Tang",and other historical documents,it can be seen that reward played an important role in the Tang Dynasty,and had a significant impact on politics,economy,culture,and ethnic relations at that time.Rewards can not only motivate officials to fulfill their duties,strengthen the connection between the emperor and various social classes,and form a good social atmosphere.This article focuses on rewarding high years as a research focus,which is conducive to a clearer demonstration of the important role of high year rewards in maintaining internal stability of the Tang Dynasty.This article is divided into four chapters.In addition to the introduction,the second chapter systematically discusses the reward system of the Tang Dynasty,mainly including historical changes and reward objects.The reward system of the Tang Dynasty was developed on the basis of inheriting the previous generation,so if you want to comprehensively and systematically understand the reward system at this time,you need to sort out the previous reward system;The objects of Tang Dynasty rewards are classified to determine the main social strata faced by the rewards at that time,understand the political objectives contained therein,and provide reference for the determination of subsequent research priorities;The third chapter studies the rewards given by the Tang Dynasty emperor to Gao Nian,mainly focusing on the content,standards,and executors of government orders;Chapter 4 discusses the impact of the characteristics of high year rewards. |
