What is social structure like in ancient china?

Social Classes are classes of people in for example work. If you were upper class, you would have a lot of money and you were the ruler or someone who has class under it. Ancient Chinese classes were divided into six social classes: Rulers: Kings, leaders or other kinds of rulers Nobles: The nobles made up the highest-ranking class after the ruling family. They fought in king's army, provided weapons, foot soldiers, and chariots. Shang nobles enjoyed life of luxury. They lived in great palaces and spent time on hunting. From hunting they had the oracle bones. Craftspeople: They formed a small social class. This class included bronze and jade workers, potters, and stonemasons. Bronze workers made the weapons and decorated containers for the king and nobles to use in religious ceremonies or simply as symbols of their wealth. Traders: Like craftspeople, traders ranked below nobles, but above farmers in Shang Society. Scholars believe that the Shang traded extensively because the modern Chinese word for merchant is shang ren, which could also mean Shang Men. During the dynasty people mostly traded gods. But they also used cowrie shells, a type of seashell as money. Farmers: Farmers were the largest social class in Shang society. They worked small plots of land, growing millet, wheat, barley, rice, fruit, vegetables, and nuts. The land was under the control of either the king on the nobles. The farmers didn't even get to keep most of their crops. They kept only enough to feed themselves and their families. Slaves: They were working for some rulers or other people who had a lot of money. For example they were working in some factory.

Is china the most polluting country in the world?

Yes, China may have many factories and other environmental hazards that cause smog and pollution all over China. In the bigger cities they even have to wear gas masks and medical masks. (Like ones used in surgical procedures) What is even worse is that they do not have an environmental protection agency like in the USA. It also leads to birth defects and many deaths every year in China, so yes it is much worse than you could possibly imagine, just be grateful you live in a country that cares very much about its environment.

(I am not an environmentalist, heck not even a liberal, I am a Republican and I severely care about our surroundings.)

Why is fine china called china if it is made in England or another country?

Fine china is made of a white clay made to imitate porcelain. Porcelain is one of the many types of clay used in China. Porcelain is considered valuable because of its white color and translucence.

Porcelain is made of three materials: quartz, feldspar & kaolin (refined white clay) fired at a very high temperature. This was first made in China, creating the category "chinaware" In the 1700's the Europeans tried to copy the formula by trial and error. Meissen succeeded. The raw materials were found in Germany and France (Limoges region) and these countries produced porcelain. In Britain, they substituted bone ash for the quartz and feldspar creating bone china. Fine china is a created category, usually referring to bone china and porcelain as opposed to stoneware, ironstone and earthenware which is fired at a lower temperature and prone to chipping and crazing.

Why are so many things made in China?

A huge labor force that is willing to work for cheap wages, however as wages there are creeping up you can expect to see the sweat shops of the world being relocated.

In order for you to truly understand why things are made in China, you have to understand history. China was the greatest civilization on the earth for thousands of years. They have made things that would take westerners, and other foreigners 100 more years to figure out how to make. The fact of the matter is, the Chinese people are educated, dedicated, and efficient workers. Even if you double their wages instantly, you will still see many things made in China. If you study Goldman Sach's report on the future, then you will see that China is set to claim 25%+ of the world's total GDP in the near future. Although textile companies and other manufacturing may shift to other countries, you can expect China to displace countries like Japan, and Europe in making fine quality goods as the Chinese have historically made. In 20-30 years time, people will not be after a Ferrari, but a Chinese car that no one has heard of yet. Another reason things are made in China is possibly political. Perhaps they have an arrangement with the U.S. government and other foreign governments for loans. If you have not noticed, China owns about $2trillion+ in U.S. treasury bonds, and have extensive investments in countries throughout the world. It's a 2 way street. China isn't just about manufacturing. They are contributing to the world in all sorts of ways.

In recent years, the tendency to move the manufacturing plants back to Europe and North America. The aim is to reduce unemployment and fight the economic crisis.
