Abstract: As marketization develops, family property relations have become an important factor having great influence on life of the people. Already embedded in the gender culture of our society, family property relations begin to demonstrate the transition from the traditional patriarchal property system to the modern, individual one characterized by gender equality, a transition best reflected by the system construction of family property relations of the Chinese society. To understanding gender-based analysis of family property relations the Marxist gender political economics provides an important framework. Increase of family property based on urban housing system reform has direct influence on family stability. Meanwhile economic independence and rise of standing of women innovate all kinds of practices of individualized family property relations characterized by gender equality.

Key words: family property relation, gender-based reflection, Chinese society, housing system reform
