After the household registration reform, citizens' household registration nature (rural household registration or urban household registration) can only be inquired by the household registration department, because it is impossible to know the most primitive household registration nature now.

This is a measure to reform the household registration management system. According to the principle of permanent residence registration, citizens' accounts are unified as "hukou", and only "family households" and "collective households" are distinguished, and "farmers" and "citizens" are no longer distinguished. Many cities have cancelled urban hukou and rural hukou, both of which are called family hukou, so family hukou is a new name after the cancellation of urban hukou and rural hukou. China has abolished the distinction between "agriculture" and "non-agriculture".
