Guest house - ke-hu; k`o-hu

Japanese: 客戸 - きゃくこ（英語表記）ke-hu; k`o-hu

In China, this term refers to tenant farmers who do not own land. Originally, the term kaku was used to refer to people who were not natives, and to those who were sojourners. After the Han, Wei, and Six Dynasties, those who did not own land and were subordinate to powerful families and landlords were called kaku. During the Tang Dynasty and the collapse of the equal-field system, landowners were called tsuko, shuko, and seiko, while tenant farmers (tsuko) and landless merchants and employees were called kuko. During the Song Dynasty, the distinction between shuko and kuko always appeared in household statistics. There was also the term tsukokaku, but kuko can be roughly thought of as tsuko. After the Yuan Dynasty, statistics that distinguished between master and guest were rarely seen.

Japanese:

中国で土地をもたない小作人などを指す語。元来，土着者に対して寄留者を客という。漢，魏，六朝以後，土地を所有せず，豪族，地主に隷属する者を客といい，唐代，均田制の崩壊以後は，土地所有者を土戸，主戸，正戸などと呼んだのに対して，小作人 (佃戸) や土地を所有しない商人や雇傭人などの戸を客戸と呼んだ。宋代には，戸口統計に主戸，客戸の区別が必ず現れている。佃客の語もあるが，客戸は大まかにいえば佃戸と考えてよい。元以後は，主客を区別した統計はあまりみられない。
