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

the contributions of the artisans and the merchants were the least important therefore so was their status. AND IT WAS FOR SURE RIGHT!!!!
The Chinese considered this type of work to be unworthy, and so the artisans and merchants had a low status. Because according to the Confucious beliefs artisans and merchants made their living of the labor of others, whereas peasants provided produce from their own land for both the empire and themselves.
Peasants are engaged in farming, they raise food, and everyone depends upon food, to a much higher degree than they depend on other products that are either made by artisans or sold by merchants, especially in an overpopulated society where the demand for food always tends to exceed the supply.
they were second in the greek social order. under aristocrats but above merchants and artisans.
They found this sort of work unworthy, and therefore gave them a lower rank.
social classes. kings and priests, merchants and artisans, farmers, and then slaves
Upper class, Middle class, and Lower class
