Why were artisans and merchants to be considered the lower rank than peasants in the shang society?
I'm pretty sure it was because the Chinese considered their type of work to be unworthy, and they considered them to the lowest status. Mostly because they thought merchants were greedy and not at all profitable. -- merchants were considered to be of a lower rank because they did not produce their own goods which went against Confucian values and the values of Chinese. Other people, such as farmers, produced their own crops and they sold it for a living. These stuff they grew and produced. Merchants, on the other hand, used other people's products which they didn't make and made a living off of it, selling it. This was considered as a disgusting job as not producing one own's goods
