Excuse me: What industries were included in the old society?

In the old society, the people at the bottom included the following industries: touts, servants, scales, matchmakers, pawns, fashion monsters, thieves, thieves, high-platform players, blowers, circuses, pushers, pool players, back rubers, repairmen, prostitutes, dogs, oil sellers, pedicures, haircuts, food lifts, tailors, excellent players and drummers.

In ancient times, social strata were divided into nine grades according to the level of nobility and inferiority. Later, with the complexity of social division of labor, the saying of "upper nine streams, middle nine streams and lower nine streams" was derived. It should be noted that this method of dividing people is the dregs of feudal thought, even in ancient times, it was only a universal culture and was not respected by the mainstream literati class.

Basically, it can be summarized as: first-class actor, second-class pusher, third-class tortoise, fourth-class tortoise, five shaved heads, six back rubs, seven prostitutes, eight thieves and nine soot blowers (hookah vendors).
