The division of the next nine streams

In ancient China, people were divided into nine streams according to their status. More complicated are the upper nine streams, the middle nine streams and the lower nine streams. For example, Ban Gu divided a hundred schools of thought contending during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period into nine streams:

Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Legalism, Militarism, Miscellaneous, Famous, Yin and Yang, Peasant.

It can also be called Confucianism, Taoism and so on. Later, Confucianism and Taoism became "religion" and Buddhism, and there was a saying of "three religions and nine streams".

Ancient folks divided Jianghu people into upper and lower classes;

Shangjiuliu: Monks, Taoist priests, painters, practitioners, geomancers, fortune tellers, Mr. Xue, pharmacies;

Dirty people: actresses, maids, prostitutes, beggars, villains, hairdressers, pawnbrokers, kitchen chefs, bathhouses, carpenters.

The reason why the first nine kinds of people enter the upper class seems to lie not in how noble their status is, but in their frequent contact with the upper class and a little light.

Another way is to classify all people in society, so there are three streams:

Shangjiuliu: emperors, sages, hermits, children's immortals, literati, warriors, farmers, workers and businessmen.

Zhong Jiuliu: Ju Zi, Doctor, Xiang Ming, Dan Qing (painter), scholar, monk, Tao, Ni.

Dirty people: master, servant, scale (scale), matchmaker, pawn, time demon (kidnapper, witch), thief, thief and prostitute.

The "scholar" who is now called the elite is not bad, but he can't get up and down. However, the arrangement of the top five people in poor schools is a bit class biased.

Now there is also a funny way to divide people from all walks of life, that is:

International clubs are first-rate, entertainment cities are second-rate, hotels are third-rate,

The fourth-rate restaurant protects the stomach, the fifth-rate restaurant walks the cat in the karaoke room, and the sixth-rate hairdressing shop has a cool pedicure.

Seven streams stood on the night road, eight streams set up stalls on the roadside, and nine streams fainted in the corner.

This is not based on identity, but on consumption grade.

The above differences show that the world is very complicated and can be divided in this way or that way. Therefore, it is not easy for anyone to sit in the right position. It is really hard to say who is what stream and what faction. Even in the same kind of shunt, some people are not easy to determine their position.

For example, as far as the author is concerned, it is really difficult to find a suitable position except the first, second, third and ninth streams. In my character, the restaurant passed, the ballroom skipped and the foot bath was washed; I stood on the side of the road several times at night, looking for someone to go through the back door; There is no air conditioning at home so far, and I sleep on branches on the roadside in summer. How many streams are there?

As for netizens, many of them are upper-class people, such as the site of Banxian, Yunnan today and Northeast tomorrow; For example, the site of crazy monks, sometimes in Britain and France, sometimes in Asahi, is not considered indecent, regardless of public expenses and private use, where public expenses mean status above and private use means consumption above. But the rest is hard to say. They may be extravagant and well dressed, but they are full of servility and disgusting faces, and the next generation may be arrogant.
