During the Yao and Shun dynasties, he served as a scholar and a justice officer, responsible for the punishment, prison and rule of law of the clan regime, namely, the sheriff. Gao Tao was appointed as an official who mastered the criminal law and assisted Yu, the consul, in handling leadership affairs. Yu ascended the throne and was selected as the successor by Yu. But Gao Tao died before the Emperor Yu and failed to succeed to the throne [11] Gao Tao is as famous as Yao, Shun and Dayu“ Ancient Four Saints ”One, honored as the "ancestor of Chinese justice" [12]
Portrait of Gao Tao [27]
Gao Tao "Ming Yu Five punishments , Yibi Five Cults ”He advocates that the five punishments should be in the auxiliary position, and those who have committed extreme acts or crimes should be first told to reason, not listen to indoctrination, and then brought to justice. "Five religions" are: father righteousness, mother kindness, brother friendship, brother courtesy, son filial piety. It is intended to educate people to understand and abide by the most basic relationships, so that people can be friendly and humble to each other, know what to do and what not to do, so as to achieve a harmonious society without criminal acts and achieve long-term stability. So, Shun Gao Tao was highly praised: "As a teacher, you are clear about the five punishments, and you should uphold the five religions and expect to be punished. The punishment should be in the five punishments, and the people should be in the middle of the sentence. Time is merit. How wonderful!"
Gaotao legal thought It has the following characteristics [13] : First Germany and France Combination, that is, combination of morality and law Rule of Virtue and Rule of Law In combination, "knowing the five punishments and establishing the five religions" explains this truth; Second People oriented thought That is to say, it emphasizes the importance, love and benefit of the people, pays attention to people's livelihood, and listens to the public opinion. "If the people are secure, they will benefit, and the people will cherish", "God is smart, and self is smart" and so on illustrate this truth; Third judicial justice Fairness and justice is the ultimate goal of Gaotao's judiciary, a legendary beast in ancient times In essence, the story of prison verdict deifies Gao Tao's judicial activities of selflessness, justice and deity; Fourth Harmony of Heaven and Man As Gao Tao said, "The rank of heaven is polite" and "The destiny is virtuous"“ God damns ”It is to warn people to follow the law of nature.

Yu After his accession to the throne, the Jianghuai countries were dissatisfied with Yu. He visited the Jianghuai River many times and preached Yu's achievements: "I hold a fork in my hand and think the people are the first". He was fearless of hardships and dangers, hard-working, selfless in public, and devoted himself to eliminating flood disasters for the people, so that they could live and work in peace and contentment. At last, Huai Yi was afraid of power and morality, and unanimously supported Yu. Gao Tao has made outstanding contributions to the creation of a prosperous era in China. However, Gao Tao died in the second year of Emperor Yu at the age of 106. After Gao Tao died, Dayu designated his successor as Gao Tao's successor—— Boyi

Codification

It is said that Gao Tao made the first "Prison Code" in China. He carved the "Prison Code" on the bark and presented it to Shun Emperor Shun thought it was very good and asked Gao Tao to implement it. The Prison Code concluded that killing a companion means serving the law rather than using punishment.
It is recorded in Lunheng Shiying of the Eastern Han Dynasty that the Yamen of the Han Dynasty worshipped Gao Tao statues and decorated Xiezhi pictures, which were later rumored to be“ Prison god ”。
Gaotao is also the ancestor of the ancient Liu'an State, or Xu State Ancestors of the monarch, and ancient times Dongyi One of the chiefs of the tribe. The monarch of the State of Liao may also be a descendant of Gao Tao. Hongdong County Ganting Town Shishi Village Also known as Gaotao Village Official title It is rare to name a village with its name. "Gao Tao's pawn was buried in the sixth place. Yu granted his youngest son in the sixth place to worship him."(《 Imperial century 》)"You was granted to Gao and died in Gao." (The Imperial Four Disciplines Complete Book) Gaocheng Gao Tao tomb is included in the Dictionary of Chinese Places of Interest. Gaotao fiefs Ying and Liu, located in today's Lu'an Yingshan Jinzhai Huo Shan One Belt. The descendants of Gaotao gathered in the fief and Shucheng buried hill Lujiang River Chaoxian County Huo Qiu Huaiyuan Lingbi Sixian County Fengtai Bo County is widely distributed throughout the country, Jiangsu province ynz Existing in the city Gao surname More than 2000 households.
The descendants of Gaocheng, where the heroes of Gaotao live, have built the ancient city into a modern city and rebuilt the tomb of Gaotao. We hope that Gaotao Cemetery will be completed as soon as possible Stone statue Towering into the sky and standing on the bank of the "Tianhe River", it has become a symbolic cultural facility that reflects the cultural taste of New Gaocheng and shows to the world West Anhui Gaotao Culture A bright rainbow!
The laws created by Gao Tao are very logical, such as "five codes and five duns", "five punishments and five usages", "five punishments and five usages", "five punishments and three punishments and five usages", "five punishments and five punishments and three residences", etc; It is concise and comprehensive, such as "faint, ink, thief, kill", etc [18] so-called Good law , not only good content, but also good logic; In the process of legislation, we should pay attention to the internal logic and emphasize its General , making the law sparse and easy to implement. This is Gao Tao's way of success in law [18] What Gao Tao said was ambitious, what Gao Tao did was fair and aboveboard, and his words and deeds were highly unified, so people were convinced [18]

Law enforcement

Gao Tao was once appointed by Shun as the "scholar" in charge of criminal law [3-5] , famous for its integrity. Be regarded as Chinese justice Ancestor. Shun Zai appointed Yu to serve as Sikong During the flood control, Yu resigned and recommended Ji, Qi and Gao Tao for this position. But Shun still handed over the position to Yu. Shun said to Gao Tao, "Gao Tao, the barbarians invade China. If the villains do evil, you should take the responsibility Judicial officer (Shi), the punishment should be convincing. The crime of exile can be divided into different levels, but the distance is different. Only by being fair and transparent can we win the trust of the people. "
It is said that Gaotao also uses a kind of Xie Zhi unicorn Come to the prison. Xiezhi is similar to a sheep, but has only one horn. It is said that it is very spiritual and has the ability to distinguish between straight and crooked and to identify criminals. When Gao Tao's verdict was in doubt, he released the supernatural animal. If the person was guilty, Xie Zhi would touch him. If he was innocent, he would not. The history books say that Gaotao is Dali, and there is no torture or unjust imprisonment in the world. Those despicable villains are very afraid and flee one after another to make the world peaceful. Shun The emperor greatly appreciated the achievements of Gao Tao, and his descendants were granted the titles of Six Kingdoms, Britain and other countries.

Culture

Yao, Shun and Yu Most of the major political measures of the period were planned by Gao Tao. Gao Tao's brilliant ideas and great achievements in all activities in political, economic, cultural and other fields have formed China Ancient times Of cultural system , namely Gaotao culture. Gaotao culture dominates Chinese nation The development of culture has promoted Social civilization And laid the foundation for the emergence of the country.
The content of Gaotao culture is mainly:“ Five Cults ”。 The five religions are "the righteousness of the father, the kindness of the mother, the friendship of the brothers, the mutual respect of the brothers, and the filial piety of the son". Definite“ Five Rites ”。 The five ceremonies are "auspicious, inauspicious, guest, military and fine". ceremonies That is, the ritual of offering sacrifices, Ferocious ceremony It is a funeral ceremony, and the guest ceremony is a tribal and Tribal alliance Betrothal gifts between tribes, between tribes and friendly tribes outside the alliance, military salute In order to organize the clan and restrain the masses to become an army, Jiali It is a gift of "food, men and women". Create "five punishments". The five punishments are "armour soldiers, axes and axes, knives and saws, drills and sizes Whipping ”。 The first soldiers, that is, the crusade against external aggression and internal rebellion; Axes and axes are the punishment of the army and belong to the military law; Knife and saw, death penalty and heavy corporal torture Drilling is a light punishment; Whipping is a light punishment for misdemeanors. Gao Tao is in customary law It is undoubtedly a great progress and the beginning of China's criminal law to integrate the five punishments on the basis of. Standing“ Jiude ”。 The nine virtues are broadness and boldness (with broadness and principle), gentleness and uprightness (with mild temper and ability to make things happen), willingness and respect (with simplicity and ability to respect virtue), chaos and respect (with talent and ability to make things happen), disturbance and perseverance (with modesty and perseverance Insights ), straight and gentle (honest but not arrogant), simple and honest (broad and pragmatic), just and tight (bold but not reckless), strong and righteous (strong but not wayward). The "Nine Virtues" formulated by Gao Tao, which includes many aspects such as human endowments, temperament, moral character and talent, is the earliest investigation and selection in China's history Public officials Standards. Pro“ the nine degrees of kinship ”。 The nine ethnic groups are the kinship tribes at the core of the tribal alliance. The tribal alliance was a loose organization, which could not be maintained without reliable support, so pro "nine nationalities" was also an important historical condition at that time Political strategy [19]
The core of Gaotao culture is "rule of law" and“ Rule by virtue ”The combination of governance and security.
Historical records of the past dynasties recorded that "in the three years of Emperor Shun, Tao was blamed To execute a sentence ”"Gao Tao created prisons and kept laws", "Xia Shu" said: 'Stunned, ink, thieves, kill' Gao Tao's punishment "; Gao Tao said, "Heaven condemns sin, and five punishments and five uses are just right". It can be seen that Gaotao Criminal Law is the earliest systematic and institutionalized criminal law in China, and it is the beginning of the real criminal law in China. Xia Dynasty Of“ Yu Punishment ”, Shang Dynasty“ criminal punishments of the Shang Dynasty ”And Western Zhou Dynasty Of“ the nine punishments ”Or "Lv penalty", all developed from Gaotao penalty. Gao Tao's "five punishments" were earlier than Babylon, Cuba Of《 code of hammurabi 》For three or four hundred years, Gao Tao was honored as the "judicial ancestor" of China. Gao Tao's thought of rule of law has played a model role for the legal system of later generations.
He is strict in law enforcement, tries to forgive negligent criminals Deliberate crime Or recidivists who do not mend their ways will be severely punished, and those suspected of crimes will be given a lighter punishment. They will be more cautious in killing people and will not hurt the innocent. He is fair in law enforcement, "clear in prison decision", "listen to the prison system", "five punishments and five uses", and even "no torture", "no injustice". He pays attention to education, "knowing the five punishments, establishing the five religions, and hoping to govern them, Serve a sentence without penalty ”。 He advocates "rule of law" as a supplement to "rule of virtue", hoping to finally realize the great governance situation in which there is no crime in society.

Virtue

from Historical Records Of "The Five Emperors" Xia Ben Ji In the records of Gao Tao's words and deeds, we can see his political image of being moral, brave and impartial [18] Secondly, from the Shangshu · Gaotao Mo, we can also see that Gaotao is people-oriented, modest, disinterested People oriented Image; And from《 a pre-Qin philosopher 》《 Writings of Prince Huainan 》《 Mou Zi's Theory of Confusion 》We can also see Gao Tao's image of a rational judge who is selfless and not angry; From《 Later Han Dynasty 》《 Prepare for the exam 》It can also be seen that Gaotao exists as a prison god [18] Finally, on《 Master Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals 》In the three stories about Gao Tao, we can also find that people's reverence and nostalgia for Gao Tao is mainly due to his virtue, concise laws, and fair law enforcement [18]
Gao Tao's primary political idea is to implement the rule of virtue. Gao Tao believes that the key to the implementation of the rule of virtue is to improve people's moral cultivation. It emphasizes that the cultivation of the monarch and officials should be from top to bottom, from oneself to others. He proposed that officials should have three, six and nine virtues. Three virtues are required for the officials, six for the princes, and nine for the emperor. If we deal with government affairs with morality, ministers will be united in virtue, and our success will be realized. Only "know people and be good at their duties", have both ability and integrity, and work hard Incorruptible government Only those who are good at governing the country can benefit the people.
The peace of the people depends on the virtue of the monarch and his officials. "When Gaotao cultivates virtue, virtue will bring down." The "Zengde Temple" located 5 li east of Gaotao Tomb was built by later generations to commemorate the seeds of Sanren De, which were sown by Gaotao people Ancient ruins "Virtue of good life governs the hearts and minds of the people". Because Gao Tao tried his best to carry out the rule of virtue and practice it, so that the world would be peaceful and the people would live in peace. Therefore, the people welcomed him, attached to him, and missed him. So as to create "all the bright and virtuous people in the world are from Yu" Shun The good situation of "beginning". Pi Rixiu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty《 Guiyou Stele 》In the article, Gao Tao said: "The virtue of the emperor is equal to that of Shun and Yu, and the morality is superior to that of Ji and Qi." social system , customs, culture and other all-round innovation programs: promote "five religions", set "five ceremonies", set up "five costumes", create "five punishments", be close to "nine nationalities", and establish "nine virtues". All these major measures have been implemented, establishing normal social order, strengthening the ties and harmony between tribes, and laying the foundation for the emergence of the country.
Gao Tao's thought was later Confucius Inherited and carried forward, founded confucian Theory and theory become the whole of China Feudal dynasty Governance Basic theory

To work on the Si

Gao Tao Leisi , for development agricultural production Has made great contributions. In his later years, he assisted Dayu in flood control, and Gao Tao achieved great success through hard work. Historical Records· Yin Benji 》According to Tang Hao, "Gu Yu and Gao Tao have worked hard outside for a long time, and they have made contributions to the people. The people are safe. The east is the river, the north is the economy, the west is the river, and the south is the Huai River, Four blasphemies Having been repaired, all people have their own homes. " Gao Tao assisted Yu in flood control. "It is better to make people follow Yu than to punish them." legal means Ensure the successful completion of the water control project. It's from Huaiyuan Tushan A celebration ceremony was held to celebrate the success of harnessing the flood: "Meeting the princes in Tushan and holding the jade and silk to all countries." The ancestors of Huaiyi not only advanced in agriculture central plains Region, and in handicraft industry Chinese pottery, tool of production Manufacturing and metal smelting Technology and other aspects are also in a leading position. Due to Gao Tao's brilliant plan and great assistance, the Yao, Shun and Yu era had a prosperous time and entered the "early national stage".

Gao Tao Made Prison

Gao Tao advocated that "punishment should not be imposed on his heirs, and rewards should be extended to the world. There should be no great forgiveness, no small punishment, only light punishment, and only heavy merit". This passage means that when a person commits a crime, his descendants should not be implicated; If we appreciate merit, we should never lose it for generations. Those who commit negligent crimes should be treated leniently even if they are a little serious; They should also be severely investigated for intentional crimes; about Criminal facts If there is something unclear, we must take it lightly; Those who have rendered meritorious service to the country should be given preferential rewards even though the facts are questionable.

So Shun decided to pass the throne to Gao Tao, but Gao Tao died prematurely due to overwork.

" Sincerely Yi Yin Tang's good minister, Gui You is Gao Tao.

If the branches and leaves are scattered, there will be no pyrene in the root, so the Tang Dynasty has been in a slump since the Ming Dynasty. In this view, the Zhou family will enjoy the country for a long time. It is appropriate.]

Research on Gao Tao's alias Tingjian:
According to Zuo Zhuan, Wengong and the Eighteenth Year of Wengong Gao Yang Eight talented people, Cang Shu, Zhang Yi, Tao Fen, Da Lin, Liang Jiang, Ting Jian, Zhong Rong Shuda Qi Shengguangyuan, Ming Yun Tu Cheng, the people of the world call it Bakke 。…… So far as Yao was concerned, Yao could not be promoted. Shun, Chen and Yao, give eight victories to lead the future. " It shows that Gao Tao was a scholar and minister during the Yao and Shun periods.
According to Zuo Zhuan, Wen Gong and Wen Gong's Five Years: "Winter, Chu Young Master Xie When Zang Wenzhong heard that Liu and Liao were exterminated, he said, 'Gao Tao and Tingjian don't sacrifice to Kuzhu. If virtue is not built and people are helpless, what a pity! '"

Du Yu He said, "Both Polygonum and Six are responsible for the later."
Du Note: "Tingjian is the Gaotao character."《 Historical record justice 》Solution: "Gao Tao has the word Tingjian."

In this regard, Gaotao became the ancestor of the ancient Liu'an State, so today Liu'an (Gaocheng) is called the hometown of Gaotao.

Therefore, Qin and Chu became feuds. Before Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, the State of Chu became the Qin state The most visited country. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty took the ancestor of the Li family as Gao Tao, and in the second year of Tianbao (743 AD), he was awarded the title of "Emperor Deming".
