  • The Confucian Impact On Early T'Ang Decision-Making

    Howard J WechslerARTICLET oung Pao1980

    As research has advanced our understanding of traditional China, the notion of a temporally seamless and monolithically state, with a government dominated by bureaucrats who were guided in their policy-making and political behavior by a uniform ideology has been judged excessively simplistic. Not only did Confucian doctrine undergo substantial changes and shifts of emphasis over the centuries, but officials who served at any given time in the nam…

  • Kao-tsung (reign 649–83) and the empress Wu: The inheritor and the usurper

    Open AccessDenis Twitchett, Howard J WechslerCHAPTERThe Cambridge History of China,…1979

    T'ai-tsung's doubts about the ability of his heir apparent, Li Chih, to lead the country effectively proved to be well founded. Chih, T'ai-tsung's ninth son, was the youngest son born to him by the empress Wen-te, née Chang-sun.

    Open AccessHoward J WechslerCHAPTERThe Cambridge History of China,…1979

    The future T'ai-tsung, Li Shih-min, the second son of Kao-tsu, was born in the year 600 in Wu-kung county in modern Shensi. His mother was a member of an extremely powerful clan, the Tou. Her elder sister was the consort of Yang Kuang, the future Sui emperor Yang-ti. Their clan, which like the Sui and T'ang imperial houses was of partially alien origin (their original surname was Ho-tou-ling), continued to be very influential throughout the early…
