Because agriculture was the primary productive sector in feudal China, and the vast majority of the population belonged to the agricultural sector, household registration management throughout the dynasties was closely linked to land taxation and labor service. The "Chu Suan Fu" system, based on population, began to be levied in the early Western Han Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty's tax system shifted from rent, labor, and tax to two taxes. The Song Dynasty mandated annual submission of accounts, and the Ming and Qing dynasties required annual submission of accounts and tax returns. All of these evolved from the "Shangji" system. The Ming Dynasty's household registration register, also known as the tax and labor service register, listed both the number of people and property under each household. Each household was required to indicate whether or not it owned or owned land, the amount of land it owned, its quality, and the tax level and amount it paid. The Qing Dynasty largely followed the Ming system. All of this demonstrates the fundamental integration of household registration management and tax and labor service management.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's household registration system has undergone tremendous changes. On January 9, 1959, the "Household Registration Regulations" were promulgated and implemented. This regulation is a fairly comprehensive household registration management system.
The household registration system was only in its early stages in the 1960s, with limited recording methods and scope. Some systems were not standardized or could not be updated for a while. In order to prevent this, some provinces designed village police to manage household registration.
After completing the household division, the village chief took out a village foundation record book, which recorded the foundation conditions of Guanjia Village in detail. Every empty foundation was annotated and had a dimension diagram drawn on it.
The four brothers who wanted to build a new house all fell in love with the piece of land on the west side of the village.
When the village chief heard they'd set their sights on that place, he couldn't reply immediately. He said they were planning to build a farm there, and since they had their eye on the place, they wouldn't let it go elsewhere. In reality, the village chief was considering both Fifth Grandfather and Guan Huashu's family were there. Fifth Grandfather was fine, but Guan Huashu was the main concern. Even if they split up, they were still brothers. Today I'll borrow a bowl, tomorrow you'll get some salt, and the day after tomorrow I'll send the kids over for a free meal. Guan Huashu's family, though, could still afford it. They absolutely couldn't build their houses together.
After more than half an hour of searching, we finally settled on a large vacant lot southeast of the village. Without further ado, we completed the formalities for the foundation and returned home.
When Guan Lao San got home, he saw that his wife was not at home. At first, he thought she had gone to the river to wash clothes. When it was time to cook at noon, she still hadn't returned. He thought that his wife had forgotten that they had separated today and was cooking her own meals in her own room, so he got up from the kang and went to the river to look for her.
I walked into the yard and saw my fourth brother's wife and eldest sister-in-law sitting in the shade under a big tree picking vegetables.
The eldest sister-in-law asked: "Third brother, what are you doing?"
"Sister-in-law, Cuihua went to the river to wash clothes. Now she has to cook her own meals. I'm afraid she's been busy washing clothes and forgetting about this and making meals for the children. I'm going to the river to look for her."
"Cuihua didn't go to wash clothes, right?" the fourth son's wife said uncertainly.
"Didn't she go to wash clothes? My eldest brother, fourth brother and I went to handle the separation of household and she was not at home in the morning. I don't know where she went. I thought she went to wash clothes." Guan Lao San scratched his head embarrassedly.
Mrs. Guan hesitated for a moment and said, "My third sister-in-law may have gone back to her parents' home. She sent the two children to play in the fifth brother's room. I saw her carrying a very large bag when she left this morning. It must have been very heavy, and her back must have been bent.
Third brother, I'm not trying to stir up trouble. Now that our parents are not home, there's no one to take care of the family. You brothers have no choice but to split up the family and live your own lives. If your sister-in-law continues to care for your parents like she did before, your future won't be easy. My eldest sister-in-law is saying this for your own good. She wants you all to live a good life. You mustn't follow her example, or there will be a rift between us sisters-in-law.
