A Preliminary Study of Fertility Benefits in the Qin and Han Dynasties Based on Unearthed Literature
The newly excavated documents contain rich historical materials about fertility benefits during the Qin and Han dynasties.Through systematic collation and analysis,it can be found that fertility benefits during the Qin and Han dynasties covered different stages from pregnancy to childbirth and nursing.When a woman was pregnant,the state protected her by legal means and treated her differently.After the birth of a child,the government would require his or her household registration to be conducted when the population was registered in the eighth month of the lunar year,which also provided a basis for welfare administration.The government would grant families with newborns a certain period of exemption from servitude to ensure the performance of parenthood.For families with many children,fertility benefits would accumulate as the number of children increased.
