摘　　要：唐代的死刑减轻分为法定减轻和法外减轻两种,前者又包括特权减轻和老小及疾减轻两种情况。特权减轻是最高统治者维护核心集团利益以及笼络人心的手段,是古代等级社会的痼疾,与近代以来讲究平等的刑法原则相悖。老小及疾减轻在一定程度上体现了对于社会弱势群体的关怀,也是儒家仁政思想的反映。老小及疾减轻的规定与当今的刑法原则也具有一致性。法外减轻是封建社会人治的体现,不符合近代刑法中罪刑法定的原则。The mitigation of death penalty of Tang Dynasty divided into statutory mitigation and extrajudicial mitigation, the former included the reduce privilege of reduce of the old and the children. The purpose of using privilege to mitigate was safeguard the interests of the highest ruler, which was a chronic illness in ancient hierarchical society. The children mitigation was a reflection of Confucian benevolent thought and was consistent with the principles of criminal law today. Extrajudicial mitigation didn＇t conform to the principle of legality in modern criminal law.
