Features: As a social institution, successive dynasties have enacted numerous legal provisions to regulate the household registration system, thereby reflecting the will of the state, which is essentially the will of the ruling class. At the same time, customs and practices of each period, particularly feudal etiquette, also play a significant role in the evolution and implementation of the household registration system. Based on a faithful adherence to historical facts, this book analyzes and studies ancient household registration systems from a modern perspective, presents historical facts in accessible language, and uses case studies to reflect the evolution of the system.
