1. Bourgeois: According to some schools of economic thought, especially Marxism, it is one of the affluent classes in the social division and the ruling class of capitalist society.

2. Landlord class: Under the landlord system economy in feudal society, the ruling class deprived people of land ownership, mainly exploiting farmers' land owners in the form of land rent.

Second, class characteristics are different.

(1) and imperialism. The big bourgeoisie and imperialism are closely related, while the petty bourgeoisie and imperialism are contradictory.

(2) The relationship with the feudal system in China. The big bourgeoisie is directly transformed from the feudal big landlord class. The exploited small-scale craftsmen and businessmen are petty bourgeoisie.

(3) the relationship with the national proletariat. The petty bourgeoisie can unite with the proletariat and other progressive revolutionary classes, while the big bourgeoisie can only unite or struggle with each other temporarily.

2. Class characteristics of the landlord class: China's landlord economy came into being when productivity and commodity economy developed to a certain extent. Its main characteristics are land circulation, small-scale peasant management and physical rent. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the use and popularization of iron farm tools and cattle industry improved the level of agricultural productivity, provided sufficient material conditions for individual labor, and contributed to the establishment of private ownership of land.

Extended data:

Among the landlord classes, there are classes with low social status and no political privileges. These landlords are generally called subaltern landlords. Most of them are small and medium-sized landlords, but there are also large households. Landlords are not only bullied by powerful landlords, but also through financial power, collusion between officials and businessmen, arbitrary local music, oppression of farmers and other means.

With the development of social productive forces, the minimum amount of land required to obtain the status of landlord has decreased, while the number of ordinary landlords has increased, and there has been a trend that the social status of landlords is mainly measured by economic strength, that is, the number of land use rights and the number of land use rights.
