Features: This book adopts an anthropological perspective and research methodology, selecting a typical case—the changes in the land system in Yougang Village, Huangpi District, Wuhan City, from the period before and after the liberation to the present—as the research subject. It reveals the impact of the rural land system and corresponding production and operation methods on social productivity, as well as the changes in farmers' lifestyles and land cultural complexes that arise from this. In addition to discussing the forms of rural land ownership and land management methods in China from the period after the liberation to the present, the book also delves into the changes in rural family structures and the self-experiences of rural women's living conditions based on changes in rural land ownership forms and land management methods. These discussions hold practical significance for exploring the productivity, production relations, and rural community development in contemporary China.
