The land equalization system was established in the Northern Wei dynasty.The purpose of the implementation of this system was to restrain the despotic force from annexing land,develop agricultural production and increase the country's tax reve-nue.According to the land equalization system,the state directly granted women independent land,enabling them to have their own means of production and income,and ensuring their economic independence.Women were also freed from their economic depen-dence on men and became the direct taxpayers of the country,thus improving their family and social status.Women's awareness of independence and determination to participate in politics had also been enhanced,and its influence had continued into the Tang dy-nasty.
