Senden method

Japanese: 占田法 - せんでんほう

The land system of the Jin Dynasty was promulgated in 280, immediately after Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, defeated the Wu Dynasty and unified the country. At the same time, a tax law called the Kochoshiki was also promulgated. It provided peasants with a certain amount of land according to the age of men and women, and limited the land of powerful families and aristocrats and the number of tenant farmers according to rank. It is considered to be a precursor to the equal-field system of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but opinions are divided on its contents, and its implementation is unclear. (1) Since land was privately owned and there was no provision for the return of land, it merely stipulated the maximum amount of land owned by individuals. (2) The head of a household was given 70 mu (mu) of land for each male and female, 30 mu for each female, 50 mu for other males and 20 mu for females, and half of the amount given to the second male, but no other people. (3) It was a policy to replace the Wei military farming system, and provided each household with 100 mu of land for each male and female.

晋 (しん) の土地制度
晋の武帝司馬炎が呉 (ご) を滅ぼして天下を統一した直後，280年に発布。同時に戸調 (こちよう) 式という税法も発布された。男女の年齢に応じて農民に一定の土地を給し，豪族・貴族の土地と小作人所有数を位によって制限したもの。北魏の均田制の先駆として重視されているが，その内容については次のように見解が分かれ，実施状況も不明。(1)土地は私有で土地の還受の規定がないので，個人の所有地の最高額を規定したにすぎない。(2)戸主男ひとり70畝 (ぼ) ，同女ひとり30畝，その他の丁男50畝，丁女20畝，次丁男には丁男の半分を与え，それ以外の者には与えられない。(3)魏の屯田に代わるべき政策で，１戸に男女１対で百畝を給する。
