Abstract: The Yangcao Guandian originated in the Shunzhi and Kangxi periods of Qing Dynasty, whose unclear boundaries caused many disputes among people. In the early Qianlong period, the Qing court tried to delimit the boundaries but failed. The special administrative system in northeast China weakened the government’s control over the land, besides the Zhuangtou’s private reclamation, most of the Yangcao Guandian was lost. During the Jiaqing period, facing the human-land conflflict and central fifinancial stress, the Qing court and the local government fifinally accomplished to delimit the boundaries together, whereby they could collect the land rents and withdraw the land rights.
