The ancient society based on agriculture did not have many ways to make a living. If you are a farmer, whether you are a poor peasant, a middle peasant or a rich peasant, you still essentially live off the land, so your ancestors must consider future generations. Regardless of the change of dynasties or policy changes, the ownership of the land may be returned to the state or the landlord at any time, but if you have your own house, it is your private property.
