Social Structure
The way order was established in ancient China was pyramid, with kings/emperors at the top, who ruled the empire and has the most power, to villagers and peasants at the bottom, who had little to no food, shelter or money. On top of villagers, there are metal workers, who made weapons, armor and other things with metal, and people with jobs. Above them are Diviners, who help people connect with gods.
