Conclusion and Interpretation Framework

Based on the achievements of the previous research and by exploring the original materials, such as the deeds in the Tsinghua University Library Collection, we examine the historical transformation and characteristics of China’s land tenure system in the past millennium, study its role in the traditional Chinese economy and its impact on economic changes in modern China, and seek academic originality and realistic theories revolving around China’s land tenure system. As a result of the completion of major projects of the National Social Science Fund, this book follows my previous study, Diquan shichang yu ziyuan peizhi (Land Rights Market and Resource Allocation). It provides an in-depth study of the topic and strengthens the systematic discussion to form an interpretative framework.
