Sicai said that formerly, high-rank bureaucrats selected the headman by asking villagers who would be appropriate. Anyone who recieived the most recommendations would then be village headman. But the majority of people often did not want the position, and the duties involved with the village in the past were not as numerous as today. The district authorities would assign duties for the headman. | Punch card
