The purpose of this paper is to investigate the situation of maternal and child health for thirty years from 1952 to 1981.I have reported the changes of natural features, communities, living conditions, labor technology, and structure of population in farming villages, and the twelve subjects such as 1) superstition, 2) artificial abortion, 3) birth control, 4) labor in menstrual period, 5) signs of physical fatigue of pregnant women, 6) birth and child nursing, 7) pesticide poisoning, 8) abortion due to use of small type cultivators, 9) unbalanced diets, 10) lumbosacral pain, 11) influence of rural environments and 12) decrease of farm population.Mechanization in agriculture, urbanization of rural life, and stagflation have been proceeding, therefore farmers' wives have to work with might and main to earn agricultural and non-agricultural income.By my opinion the socioeconomic policies are essential in the rural areas to ensure an early and strong recovery, to increase of farmhouseholds income, and to secure an ample national budget for the development of health services.
