The 'Four Occupations' was an ancient Chinese social classification system, with scholars (shi), farmers (nong), artisans (gong), and merchants (shang). While an idealization, it influenced societal structure and was adapted in neighboring countries like Japan and Korea.
Ever wondered how ancient China organized its society? It was through the 'Four Occupations'! At the top were the 'shi' – scholars and officials, originally warrior nobles. Then came the 'nong', the hardworking farmers who fed everyone. Next were the 'gong', the skilled artisans and craftsmen. Bringing up the rear were the 'shang', the merchants and traders.

This ancient classification even influenced societies like Japan and Korea. Subscribe for more history facts!
