One government reform enacted in the Chinese Tang dynasty
was its emphasis on education. It was one of the reforms that contributed the
dynasty’s success. The Tang rulers did not feel that a well-educated people is
a threat to the government. For the rulers, an educated public is a foundation
of a stable and prosperous society.
Unlike other forms of government who feared intellectuals, the Tang
dynasty embraced knowledge and education, thus, encouraging its people to have
a form of education.
