Villagers managed their land according to customs that were often at odds with formal Chinese law. British rule, 1898-1997, added complications by assimilating traditional practices into a Western legal system. Custom, Land and Livelihood in Rural South China explores land ownership in the New Territories, analysing over a hundred surviving land deeds from the late Ch'ing Dynasty to recent times, which are transcribed in full and translated into. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Land use|xLaw and legislation|zChina|zNew Territories |xHistory. 650 0 Real property|zChina|zNew Territories|xHistory. 651 0 New Territories (China)|xRural conditions|vSources. 651 7 China|zNew Territories.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01297609 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Sources.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423900 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHase, P.H.|tCustom, land and livelihood in rural south China|z9789888139088|w(OCoLC)827952067 830 0 Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong studies series. 856 40 |uhttp://0-ebookcentral.proquest.com.lib.utep.edu/lib/utep /detail.action?docID=1187366|zTo access this resource
