Study on the Change Model of Farmland Property Right System in New China—Based on the Theory of Gradual Institutional Change

The rural farmland property right system is one of the basic systems in the countryside. The experience in the changes of the farmland property rights system since the founding of new China has important historical value and research value. By using the analysis paradigm of gradual institutional change theory of historical institutionalism, the farmland property right system change mode of new China is identified. From feudal land ownership system to farmer land ownership through system replacement mode, from farmer ownership system to farmer collective ownership through system conversion and replacement mode, from farmer collective ownership system to "separation of two rights" property right system through system layering mode, from the "separation of two rights" property right system to the "separation of three rights" property right system through system drift mode, it indicates that the change of farmland property right system in New China is gradual and highly path-dependent. The change of farmland property right system is the result of multiple causes and effects. In the future, the reform of farmland property right system should be carried out from multiple perspectives: optimizing the structure of farmland property right with the reform of collective property right system, reshaping the values of rural land with the strategy of rural revitalization, stimulating the reform and upgrading of farmland property right system with the help of agricultural digitalization, and promoting the well-ordered transformation of farmland property right system.
