Abstract

[The welfare state is the outcome of the interactions between the state and the society. In China, the idea of poverty relief has its roots in ancient times. Poor relief theories proposed by various schools could be found in the Spring and Autumn and War periods more than 2000 years ago, among which the most well-known are the notions of primacy of people’s interests, benevolent governance and universal harmony. In the time of natural economy, the idea of relief was executed mainly through saving surplus grains during the years of good harvest for use during years of poor harvest. Since the Han Dynasty, China has adopted a grain reserve system, namely Changpingcang (Grain Reserve Storage), which was established by the imperial government. In Sui Dynasty,Yicang (Charity Grain Reserve Storage) was introduced, which held grain donations solicited from the public by the local governments. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was Shecang (Communal Grain Reserve), which partly served as a form of social security, and was managed by the local community and in which all local residents enrolled. In addition to the reserve system, there were other forms of charity such as poverty relief, old age care and childcare.]
