Peasants in the feudal era celebrated various festivals that marked the agricultural calendar, such as harvest festivals and spring planting celebrations. These events often included communal feasting, music, dancing, and religious rituals to give thanks for a bountiful harvest or to seek favor for future crops. Additionally, local saints' days and seasonal festivities provided opportunities for socializing and reinforcing community bonds. Such celebrations were essential for maintaining morale and fostering a sense of solidarity among peasant communities.
During the Shogun era in Japan, the Emperor held a largely symbolic and religious role, while real political power was wielded by the shogunate. This meant that peasants were primarily affected by the local daimyōs (feudal lords) and the shogun's policies rather than by the Emperor directly. While the Emperor's authority was acknowledged, the shogunate's governance dictated the peasants' lives through taxation, labor obligations, and agricultural practices. Consequently, the Emperor's influence on peasants was minimal, as their daily realities were shaped by the feudal hierarchy and local governance.

A villein is a peasant farmer in the feudal era tied to a lord of the manor. There is no believing or not, so there is no word to denote this position in feudal society. A person is a peasant or not.

Warriors, artisans, merchants, and peasants.
The medieval era refers to the feudal systems of lords and knights governing peasants in estates. This began after the fall of Rome and was solidified by the vikings forcing peasants to surrender liberty for protection (so much for give me liberty or give me death) and lasted for centuries until Renaissance ideals began to develop nationalist movements to support nations rather than lords. As such the medieval era is officially considered to end with the Renaissance that began with the Crusades that began in the 11th century and was gone everywhere but Russia by the 15th century. If you count serfdom in Russia, the medieval era lingered until 1861. The Renaissance is generally considerred to have been the end of the Dark Ages though.
