What occupation did the ancient "three religions and nine streams" refer to?

In ancient China, there were three religions and nine streams. The three religions are easy to understand, namely Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. However, there are still many differences between the nine streams, which are divided into upper nine streams, middle nine streams and lower nine streams, representing all walks of life at that time. From top to bottom, we can see the division of professional quality.

Shang Jiuliu probably refers to emperors, sages, hermits, children's immortals and so on. And its position in ancient times is relatively noble. The middle nine streams refer to children, doctors, fortune tellers, painters, scholars and so on. Dirty people refer to touts, poor officials, matchmakers, pawns and so on. This was in ancient times, and most occupations were divided in this way. Different occupations had different positions in ancient society.

But it's not the past now. Maybe some professions were not worth mentioning in ancient times. Nowadays, with the development of economy and culture, more and more professions have their own glory, and they will not be looked down upon by people because of the saying of "three religions and nine streams".

For example, the social status of ancient businessmen was very low, and all aspects were hit. However, it's different now. Some businessmen have strong abilities and high social status, and the state will not deliberately attack their development. On the contrary, it will carry out preferential policies for the better development of the country, which is completely different from ancient times.

In ancient times, the status of actors was extremely low, but with the changes of the times, the status of entertainment stars has also been greatly improved. Good stars can also increase and change the world's view of us by virtue of their influence.

As long as we can work hard in our own posts, we will certainly become useful people to society. The old saying "three religions and nine streams" has long been unable to adapt to today's society. We should look forward, strive and work hard.
