In 2018

the No.1 Document of the CPC Central Committee put forward the direction of reform for the "separation of the three rights" of rural homestead. The main purpose of this paper is to understand the concept of "qualification right" and investigate its practical form. As a kind of identity right

qualification right is the reflection of the "big country

small farmer" relationship between the country and the farmer in the New Era by the property right of homestead. The process confirming the qualification right is a clarification and adjustment of the relationship between the farmer and the collective

showing the functions of solidifying the security attributes of land

clearing the channels for capital to flow to the countryside

and facilitating the process for farmers to become citizens. Besides rights and functions

the sociological meaning of the "qualification right" to homestead is reflected in the cultural attributes of land and "qualification" and its ethical significance to farmers and villages. In view of the reform for the "separation of the three rights" of homestead

a possible policy suggestion is to determine the premise of transferring the right to use homestead on the basis of further clarifying the content and boundary of the "qualification right" of homestead

and to appropriately broaden the scope of transferring the right to use homestead.
