In the ancient days, China or the Classical China witnessed a hierarchical social structure in which the Chinese society was divided into different classes on the basis of the wealth, responsibilities as well as the social standing.
Chinese culture is one of the oldest in the world today. Over 6,000 years ago this culture began to develop in the Yellow River Valley and many of those ancient practices are still observed in the present. The Chinese developed a society based on respect for the spirits of the earth, one's ancestors, the gods, and other people. It was believed that the world was governed by spirits and deities and so people should behave as though they were in the presence of these spirits at all times.
