The Chinese national forest system, which has developed logging from natural forest, faces two problems, sustainable forest use and community management. Multiple management is the key to meet these problems. With this paper, the historical development of multiple management of Chinese national forest is clarified from the viewpoint of whether management is based on group or family, and resources are oriented from the forest or not. Group-based multiple management has contributed to the core enterprise by functioning as unemployment compensation. Although family management, which was a part of the individual enterprise of workers, had contributed to community development, it was severely damaged during the Cultural Revolution. Development with group management had been directed officially through the 1970's and 80's, but family management did not been flower until the economic reform of the 1990's. Since the later half of the 1990's Chinese forest policy has made much of multiple management under the crucial conditions of forest resources. Now it is at a stage in which group-based and family-based management are both groping for a way foward further development. While Chinese national forest service intends the development of non-forestry and multiple management, the management which it depends on must wait for social recoanition of the value of sustainable community management of national forest.
