This book mainly studies the sales system of the Tang Dynasty. It not only conducts a multi-faceted investigation from the perspective of the legal system of the Tang Dynasty as official law, but also focuses more on the local law of the sales system. That is, through the analysis and refinement of more than a hundred historical sales contract documents of the Tang Dynasty, it conducts a detailed examination of the folk customs or norms related to sales transactions. Beyond the system, the author attempts to enter the inner spirit and value of the trading system and analyze the cultural mechanism behind it, such as the analysis of the influence of Confucian culture and the analysis of the "retribution" that constitutes the effectiveness of the customary law of buying and selling, all of which reflect innovation.
