唐代士大夫多以文优之声著于后世,而吏干之能不显。故而传统的观点认为他们虽擅长文史却并不熟知律法,对百姓的治理多以教化为主。然而真实的状况并非如此。他们不仅明深谙法理,对法的起源、法的作用及礼法关系均有自己独特的见解。而且还通晓律令,除了史书中大量的记载之外,考试所写的判文,议谳所写的奏疏及日常所写的诗歌均是直观呈现他们法律知识的载体。而在彼时影响他们形成这种知识结构的社会因素有很多,最主要的有出身阶层、学校教育及入仕途径。 Most of the literati in the Tang Dynasty were later known for their poetic vocality, and officials were able to do well. Therefore, the traditional view is that although they are good at literature and history, they are not familiar with the law, and they mostly rely mainly on education. However, the reality is not the case. Not only are they well versed in jurisprudence, they have their own unique views on the origin of the law, the role of law and the relationship between the law and the law. In addition to the large number of records in the history books, the judgments written in the exams, the poems written in the poetry and the poems written in daily writing are the carriers of their legal knowledge. At that time, there were many social factors that affected their formation of this kind of knowledge structure. The most important of these were the social class, school education and enrollment channels.
