Kaigen no Chi - Kaigen no Chi

Japanese: 開元の治 - かいげんのち

This term refers to the political stability during the Kaiyuan period (713-741), the first half of the reign of the sixth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong (reigned 712-756). Xuanzong ascended to the throne after the Wuwei disaster (690-710), when Gaozong's Empress Wu (Empress Wu) and Zhongzong's Empress Wei (Empress Wei) monopolized the government. Using famous ministers such as Yuwen Rong, he worked to restore the early Tang dynasty's legal code system, including implementing various policies to deal with the collapse of the equal land system caused by influential people merging land, adopting a military recruitment system to replace the fubing system (conscription system), and appointing military governors in border areas. As a result, the population of the capital Chang'an exceeded one million, and merchants from the west flocked there, making it a major international city. The Tang dynasty also reached its height of prosperity, with poets representative of the Tang dynasty, such as Li Bai and Du Fu, becoming active and the period being celebrated as the height of cultural prosperity in history.

中国，唐朝の第６代玄宗（在位712年―756年）の治世前半にあたる開元年間（713年―741年）の政治の安定ぶりをさす言葉。玄宗は，高宗の皇后武氏（則天武后）と中宗の皇后韋氏（韋后）が政権を壟断した〈武韋の禍〉の時期（690年―710年）を経て即位した。宇文融らの名臣を用い，有力者による土地兼併などによる均田法崩壊に対処するための諸政策や，府兵制（徴兵制）に代わる募兵制の採用，辺境における節度使の任命など，唐初の律令体制を再建することに努めた。このため首都長安の人口は100万人を超え，西方からの商人も集まって一大国際都市となり，李白，杜甫ら唐代を代表する詩人も活躍して文化史上の盛唐をうたわれるなど，唐の全盛期を現出した。
