The policy of discrimination against folk industry and commerce in the Tang Dynasty is clear, and the management and control system for folk industry and commerce is complete, with a "multi-pronged approach", which controls folk industry and commerce in its hands and exercises the right of ups and downs, reflecting the ruling will and political interests of the ruling class. On the one hand, the Tang Dynasty needed to develop folk industry and commerce to improve economic vitality and prosper urban supply, and to meet the needs of political rule and living consumption. On the other hand, private industry and commerce will never be allowed to develop freely and highly. Under the control of political discrimination and power manipulation in the Tang Dynasty, folk industry and commerce were often hit and deprived and could not really develop. Their own destiny is not in their own hands, and they can only survive within the scope allowed by the dynasty government. Their fate is eventful, even life and death are unpredictable, and the road to survival and development is very difficult.

This development fate of folk industry and commerce in Tang Dynasty was also the common fate of folk industry and commerce in China feudal dynasty. In the feudal dynasty of China, under the management and control of the imperial regime at different levels, folk industry and commerce were "suppressed" to survive in a limited space, or they could only become vassals of the feudal state's prohibition of monopoly economy, forming their own unique difficult and tortuous development model. On the one hand, China's policies and systems of discrimination and repression against folk industry and commerce effectively maintained the political rule of the dynasty and continued the feudal social history of China; On the other hand, it has greatly damaged the normal development of private industry and commerce and hindered the development of traditional society in China.
