Features: This book discards the method of periodized research and focuses on several topics in the history of Chinese economy, exploring their evolutionary processes. It includes aspects such as land ownership systems, changes in cultivated land area, the ratio of population to cultivated land, agricultural management methods, and the rent system. It not only provides a longitudinal perspective across different dynasties but also clarifies some misconceptions about Chinese land issues based on Western economic history perspectives. The book contains many firsthand sources on land systems, supported by scientific analysis, and offers unique interpretations and insights.
