Since the Song dynasty, the government has issued land licenses to private households after land clearing. In the sixth year of the Wanli reign, Fujian, as a pilot area for Zhang Juzheng's reforms, began to implement land surveying. The survey in Tingzhou province lasted for more than a year, and ended with the official giving the Youtie and paying the owner to collect the receipt. From the 10th year of the Wanli reign, the Ming court held a partial resumption of the survey in response to the phenomenon of hasty reporting in the previous survey, and a batch of land clearance household list appeared in Liancheng County and Qingliu County of Tingzhou Prefecture one after another. Comparison of the two can be found, the Tiewen form of household Youtie has more organized official paper form, both carry the text of the policy and decree carrier, but also have the receipt of the license of the public diploma attributes, while the details of the land clearance household list in the form of note is more detailed. The former originated in the Ming Dynasty official documents in the post widely used as a voucher class instruments of the institutional background, the latter by the Wanli years widely drawn fish scale atlas influence. The emergence of the two is an example of the constant changes in land licenses during the Ming and Qing dynasties, which were adapted to local conditions.
