Actually the above comment by the previous poster is NOT the answer.
The Chinese caste system was based on basic Confucius views. The following list represents the caste system from greatest to lowest
1) scholars
2) farmers
3) artisans
4) merchants
Scholars are on top because they are considered to be of great value, because they are always learning and expanding the wealth of knowledge that belongs to the empire.
farmers are second because they are the main providers of food in china.
Artisans provide us with their baskets,pots,and cloth which helped in the daily chores
Merchants were considered to be on the bottom because they were seen as people who were out for profit and did not contribute to the over all prosperity of the empire.
