Why is there still a hierarchical concept that so many people carry around in Chinese society?

The concept of hierarchy is y rooted in Chinese history. The traditions of feudalism and Confucianism, and the lack of an equality-conscious education and value system have resulted in a long-standing hierarchical order and solidified class structure. Although Chinese society is gradually transitioning from a traditional to a modernized society, the deep-rooted hierarchical concepts and patterns of interests in the process of social transformation continue to impede social development and the building of a fair and just society.

These concepts manifest themselves in different ways in the economy, culture and politics. In daily life, people often focus on other people's family background, wealth status, educational background and other factors, emphasizing their relative status to others. This hierarchical concept not only affects the mindset of individuals, but also social fairness and justice.

To overcome this phenomenon, cultural, educational and institutional reforms need to be y promoted. Only on the basis of building a more open, equal and inclusive society can the gap between different groups be gradually narrowed and the concept of equality for all be realized.
