One way
you could tell Social Levels apart in Ancient China
is by clothing. The rich would wear silk
robes while the commoners or peasants would wear a
loose robe made from a plant fiber called
Hemp.
Kings of
China
Scholars
The kings
of Ancient China would stay inside the walls of the
capital. But they would often ask about daily
life, like "So, how did today's hunt go?" or "What
are people saying about me?". These are just
examples, but an oracle
bone was found that asked "Will
todays hunt go well?".
The scholars of
China almost had a social level to themselves. They
were extremely knowledgeable and would frequently advise
community members that had questions or problems they could
not answer or handle.
