land ownership of free farmers is Feudal land ownership of small farmers .It is the basis of the small individual small farmers who were engaged in agricultural production and cottage industries , as well as the basic guarantees of the feudal state of labour service and revenue sources .The main of free farmers of Han Dynasty was "Shou-tian" farmers who inherited from the Warring States and the Qin Dynasty .
