The Da Tang Lü is associated with which dynasty?

• A. Sui dynasty
• B. Song dynasty
• C. Tang dynasty
• D. Yuan dynasty

Answer: (C)

Da Tang Lü is the Great Tang Code, the formal legal code created during the Tang dynasty to standardize laws, punishments, and administrative rules across the empire. Its very name ties it to that era, reflecting the Tang government’s approach to governance and social order drawn from Confucian ideas. Because the code originates from the Tang period, it is associated with the Tang dynasty, even though later dynasties developed their own legal systems and could reference this code as a foundational model. The Sui, Song, and Yuan had their own legal frameworks, but the Da Tang Lü specifically points to the Tang era.
