As early as the primitive society period, China had the rudiments of social security management. Subsequently, rulers of various dynasties in China placed great emphasis on social security management, considering its effectiveness as a crucial indicator of social stability. For this purpose, rulers not only established security management institutions within various government agencies at all levels but also formulated relevant security management regulations to strengthen social security from different perspectives and aspects. The book is divided into nine chapters, covering topics such as security management institutions from primitive society to the Qing Dynasty, relevant security management regulations, household registration management, road traffic management, fire management, and social security order management. The book has a broad scope, is well-documented, and is rich in content, making it suitable for students and professionals in history, law, public security academies, and the public security system.
