noun
Taihō Code
Historical legal code enacted in 701 CE during the late Asuka period; a foundational ritsuryō system in early Japan.
大宝律令は701年に制定された。
The Taihō Code was enacted in 701.
律令 refers to the broader ritsuryō legal system or codes in general, while 大宝律令 specifically denotes the Taihō Code.
From 大宝 (Taihō, the era name) + 律令 (ritsuryō, 'legal code'). The exact derivation is straightforward; the term names the code after the era of its enactment.
