They have shaped the new trend of the reform by adopting different policies for different households. Examining local reform practices is, therefore, important for further relevant reforms. By sorting a large amount of laws and regulations issued by local governments about the reform on household registration system, and highlighting four polices (namely, temporary residence certificate system, blue seal household register, reform on household registration system of towns, and talents residential certificate system), this paper analyzes the temporal and spatial evolutive trajectory and rules , from the perspective of diffusion, explores the proliferation laws, and provides policy implications.
