In ancient China, people had different jobs depending on their social class. Here’s a simple breakdown:

Nobility:

• They owned land and had a lot of power.
• They made big decisions about the government and the army.
• They lived in rich and fancy homes.

Peasants:

• They worked on the farms and grew food.
• They had very few rights and had to pay a lot of taxes.
• They were super important because they helped support everyone else.

These different roles made a clear order in society. Most people couldn’t easily change their social class. Being loyal to family and land was really important, too.
