| This thesis consists of four parts and discusses preliminarily the author, compiling process, kind and documentary values of Da-Tang-Liu-Dian. It took sixteen years and nineteen writers to accomplish Da-Tang-Liu-Dian, from advising compiling, system planning, compiling to perfecting. During the period of over-handing, Da-Tang-Liu-Dian came up with North-Song Dynasty Yuanfeng version, South-Song Dynasty Shaoxing version, Ming Dynasty Zhengde version as well as Jiajing version, Qing Dynasty Jiaqing Saoyeshanfang version and Guangxu Guangyashuju version. And there were Xiangbaojinwei version, Tianbaoguanban version and Guangchineitian version of Da-Tang-Liu-Dian in Japan. Da-Tang-Liu-Dian recorded Tang Dynasty's instituions of transforming, governor-selecting, economy, military, justice and supervising.It's decided by the compiling system that Da-Tang-Liu-Dian s content derived from the Command and Order of the temporal institutions being employed. But for the reason that Da-Tang-Liu-Dian also lacked important political institutions existing before it's finished, such as Hanlin Scholar, Political-Affairs-Hall, etc. Tang-liu-dian was weakened in direction function in administration and was just a collection of Tang Dynasty's Command & Order but not a administrative law book. Da-Tang-Liu-Dian had significant documentary values. It not only influenced the political life of late Tang Dynasty but also directly conducted and regulated the political life of Late-Tang and North-Song Dynasty. Till Ming and Qing Dynasty, Da-Tang-Liu-Dian shew so great social values that it's frequently concerned by temporal kings and liegemen. It even had impact on Japanese feudal politics. Meanwhile, Da-Tang-Liu-Dian remained enormous valued historical materials on politics, military and culture, some of which were omitted and some of which were only briefly recorded by other bibles. Furthermore, the historical materials in Da-Tang-Liu-Dian and those in other bibles can supplement each other. |
