The Social Status of Ancient Businessmen in China
In feudal history, the merchant class in China did not always live in putting things in the last shadow.
In the pre-Qin period, especially in the middle and late Warring States period, commercial activities were supported and recognized by the rulers. Since Shang Yang's political reform, businessmen have been passively depressed for thousands of years.
After the Song Dynasty, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the traditional theory of "scholars, farmers, businessmen and four people" was challenged and questioned, and the relationship between scholars and businessmen changed greatly, and businessmen regained social recognition and respect to a certain extent.
Whether it is ups and downs, economic factors, changes in the ruling class's policies on business activities and cultural background are the main inducements. It was not until the invasion of western powers in modern times that the Qing government had to relax and allow private businessmen to develop that China's national capitalism developed.
