- Yi asserted this opinion in his commentary on a story about Chien-tzu, the ruler of
the state of Chao in the Warring States period of Chou China, who gave orders to cut
household taxes in the territory of Chin-yang. Yi anachronistically interpreted this state-
ment as if the Chao tax systcm were identical to the T'ang triple tax systcm of thc ninth
century A.D. hy rcmarking that a wise ruler who sought to alleviate tax burdcns on the
people only hau the option of reducing the household tax hecause the land tax was a fair
and just tax that simply had to he collected, and personal service was a necessity because
men were needed to fight in wartime. Yi Ik, Sangho saesa/ YlIs(i/l, ed. An Ch6ngbok (Seoul:

story as the the section on the hereditary house of Chao in the Shih-chi. I am indebted
to my colleague, Jack Dull, a specialist in the Han dynasty, for pointing out to me that
Yi Ik's commentary on the Chao tax system as if it were the same as the triple tax sys-
tem of the Tang era is a gross anachronism.
