During the Sui dynasty (6th century), a system of types of punishments was formed, which was also received during the Tang dynasty. Tang's criminal institutions, for more than a millennium, streamlined the system of five basic punishments: blows with thin sticks, blows with thick sticks, hard labor, exile and death penalty. The goals of the were intimidation, restoration of social justice, crime prevention and re-education. Key words: criminal law, Ancient China, Confucianism, talion, types of punishments.
