In the traditional culture of China, a taxi refers to

There is a special stratum in the traditional society of China: the "scholar stratum". This class includes the traditional intellectuals in China. If we must make an analogy, then taxis in China are probably equivalent to western knights and Japanese samurai. The so-called scholar in China's tradition refers to people who are not engaged in production, so "a scholar seeks the Tao without seeking food". The Tao here is politics, and the next way is education, emphasizing morality over morality, combining political undertakings with education, manipulating the government upward and leading the people downward. Mencius called "scholars" industrious people, while "agriculture, industry and commerce" were called cannibal workers. That's exactly what happened. The ancient government of China was composed of scholars, and the power of the government was not in nobles, soldiers and businessmen, but in scholars. From this perspective, it can also prove why there is no great development of capitalism in China's nearly two thousand years of history.

The gentry class rose in the early Spring and Autumn Period. It is pointed out in Zuo Zhuan of the Spring and Autumn Period that in the early years of the Spring and Autumn Period, the nobles were still influenced by the rites of the Duke of Zhou, showing profound cultural accomplishment. At that time, it can be said that an educational force was guiding the government. However, in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, the disintegration of the well-field system, the great social changes and the decline of the aristocratic class triggered a series of contradictions, which led to the emergence of the gentry class. At that time, taxis did not serve the nobles in the world, but guided the next civilian. They are composed of the declining children of nobles and the handsome talents of civilians. They studied etiquette and music and served the regime at that time. It was not until the Warring States period that the gentry class replaced the aristocratic status before the Spring and Autumn Period and became the political center. At that time, the teacher was the most respected, not the monarch, but the celebrities in the wild, not the ministers in the DPRK. For example, in the Warring States Period, Shang Yang was used in Qin Dynasty, Wuqi was used in Chu, Shen Buhai was used in North Korea, Le Yi was used in Yan Dynasty, Tian Dan was used in Qi Dynasty, and Zhang Yi and Su Qin were used in the Warring States Period. And the monarch attaches importance to the scholars, such as Yan moved, telling them that you are not expensive and helpless. When Zhao Haoqi of Qin saw Fan Ju, he had to "kneel down and plead". At that time, the scholars, dressed in white suits, stood among millions of troops. At the time of national survival, they were safe and secure, and when they saw state affairs, such as Lv Zhonglian's disloyalty to many emperors. The performance of such scholars really makes future generations dream.
