The slavery system which played an important role in an agricultural-production throughout the Han dynasty, changed their role and we ight in society accordance with the decline of the dyrasty.
During the six dynasties, the slave and the dependant were co-existed as
dual-structure in society.

common-servile people and the system became fixed from then on.
In this article, it focused on the inter-connection between the system and the
economical changes, in particular, the land system. Among various historical materials, the edicts on the slaves from 「T'ang Hui-yao」 were chosen as main references.
The contents of the edicts could be devided into three phases: first, the period of the restriction on the number of slaves which was allowed to be employed in one household; second, the prohibition on kidnapping of commoners and selling them as slaves; third, the prevention of employing foreign slaves inside the china proper.

Despite the difficulties in its effectiveness, these succession of edicts on the servile class, influenced on the social understanding for the class, and on the whole, it contributed to the abolishment of the system from chinese society.
Through various changes of social conditions, eventually the servile class which played an important role in chinese society, vanished altogether.
From these aspects, the T'ang era was the transitional period which witnessed such changes.
