In the policy evolution of the "military settlement system" and the "one-whip law" in the early Ming Dynasty, the children of military households grew from tenant farmers who were bound to military settlements to "farming and education village owners" who were both engaged in farming and education. Under the shackles of land and household registration, they understood that "farming is not only about survival, but also the foundation for breaking through identity and protecting homeland", and completed the growth and transformation from "system dependents" to "independent people living independently".
