Commentary on the Tang Dynasty

This is a criminal law book based on the Tang Dynasty criminal code, the Ritsuryo, and its official commentary. It is also called the "Late Tang Ritsuryo Commentary." Traditionally, it has been considered to be the same as the Ritsuryo, an official commentary on the Tang Code, but more accurately, it is a criminal law book created after the Song Dynasty by combining the Ritsuryo of 737 and the Ritsuryo Commentary, and shows influence from the Song Jingtong. It consists of 30 volumes and 12 chapters (famous cases, barricades, official systems, marriages, stables, robbery, robbery, litigation, fraud, miscellaneous, arrest, and imprisonment) with 502 articles. It is the basic historical material for research on the lost Tang Ritsuryo Commentary. The version by Bohkisai, published at the end of the Song Dynasty and early in the Yuan Dynasty, is thought to be the oldest surviving version. The Tainankaku version is the most convenient to use.

中国、唐の刑法典である律およびその官撰(かんせん)注釈書に基づく刑書。「故唐律疏議」ともいう。従来、唐律に対する官撰注釈書の『律疏』と同一視されてきたが、正確には737年の律と律疏を取り合わせて宋(そう)以後につくられた刑書で、『宋刑統』の影響もみられる。全30巻12篇(へん)（名例、衛禁、職制、戸婚、厩庫(きゅうこ)、擅興(せんこう)、賊盗、闘訟、詐偽(さぎ)、雑、捕亡、断獄）502条。亡佚(ぼういつ)した唐の『律疏』研究の基本史料である。宋末元初刊の滂熹斎(ぼうきさい)本が現存最古版と考えられる。利用には岱南閣(たいなんかく)本系統が便利。
