The social hierarchy of China was divided into 3 groups:

The highest of these were the landowning aristocracy plus the educated bureaucrats or Mandarins. Next came the laboring masses: peasants and also urban aristians who manufactured goods. These were the groups of people who preformed hard manual labor. And last were the 'mean people' this cateogory was reserved for those who were though to have unmeaningful skills. Preforming artist were also put into this group as also were household slaves.

The social hierarchy was mainly based on order from the government and obedience. Political laws and orders were easier to carry out because people generally obeyed upon command from the government. Confucianism also stressed the importance of relationships and respect for elders. In terms of women, they were subjugate to men and taught to respect them. They were given more freedom in China when communism came about.
