This study, through an analysis of the tax registers of Linxiang county 臨湘縣, Changsha commandery 長沙郡, between A.D. 235 and 236, explores the pattern of lineage settlement in Han and the early Three Kingdoms era. These tax registers, which were composed of 2,141 pieces of wooden tablets, recorded in detail the household information of 141 administrative districts called qiu 丘 (hamlet). After examining this household information, the author concludes that lineage members inhabited far beyond one qiu. The phenomenon of juzu erju 聚族而居, of which people with the same surname/lineage lived together, might not necessarily lead to a settlement pattern of juzu liju 聚族里居, of which one finds a dominated surname in each qiu administration district. Among 1,480 tenant farmers, only limited cases indicated that a surname group dominated in a qiu. In fact, each qiu in the tax registers was occupied by several surnames. Further, as reflected in the registers, ten surnames can be identified as the important lineages in the Changsha commandery.
