As the founding period of China's feudal society in Qin and Han Dynasties,all kinds of new systems are in the stage of continuous improvement,household registration system is one of them.The relatively complete household registration system should have come into being in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.The condition was that the regional restructuring of various countries arose one after another,breaking the original pattern of division according to blood relationship and gradually forming the form of geographical organization.So far,the household registration has formed a complete operating system.And this system is divided into two parts,register contents and management methods,the registration content due to the existing household registration Jane material is less,it is difficult to spy out,can only according to corresponding household Jane general rules,but the overall trend is continuously detailed registration content,in addition to the han dynasty have basic information,tax and property matters.The wealthy in the Han Dynasty could obtain political status changes through various means,and slaves and maids also had the conditions to become registered households,which promoted the formation of diversified identities of all classes.The special heavy exist the possibility of upward mobility,differences between different groups of household registration as the difference between subsequent enjoy rights.It cannot be separated from the special social background of the Qin and Han Dynasties which emphasized plough and war and wealth,and was imprinted in the national management mode in the way of household registration.The household registration system of Qin and Han Dynasties gradually became a system in the process of strict management and control,and the core of implementing this governance is the word "control",which is one of the manifestations of imperial power infiltrating grassroots organizations.Control is management based on stabilizing the status of people's registration,while the government of non-registered people adopts measures of enlightenment and power,as well as a household registration-based property division method,with the goal of stabilizing the household registration status of the people.Through this series of measures,the feudal dynasty was able to have more registered households.However,in the later stage of implementation,due to the too strict household registration system,the separation of the country was accelerated.The implementation of the household registration system not only stabilizes the operation of the society,but also facilitates the expropriation of taxes and services,and is a continuation of the state's control of private households.The collection of household tax is based on the characteristics of different governance stages and regions.In order to attract people to become registered households,they were given many economic and political rights.The prerequisite for the implementation of these rights was that they could always be under the control of the state.However,the Han Dynasty still failed to solve the problem of many out-of-register households.
