What kinds of people did ancient times refer to? Why?

The so-called "three religions and nine streams" refers to the classification of social status and occupations of different groups in a long historical period. Specifically, nine streams can be divided into upper nine streams, middle nine streams and lower nine streams.

"Down to nine streams" originally refers to first-class platform, second-rate blowing, third-rate circus, fourth-class pushing, fifth-class pool, six backs, seven repairs, eight matches and nine prostitutes. However, with the development of society, the seven connotations have gradually changed. Generally speaking, they refer to people who live in society and make their way around the world by engaging in various businesses next time, such as darts, chivalrous men, bandits, hooligans, gamblers, actresses, fortune tellers, prostitutes, pawns, beggars and so on.

What is "nine streams", if divided from the traditional academic point of view, refers to Confucianism, Taoism, Yin and Yang, famous artists, Mohists, strategists, miscellaneous scholars and peasants; According to various industries in society, it generally refers to different industries and people engaged in different industries in society.

Among them, the first-class Buddha, the second-class fairy, the third-class emperor, the fourth-class official, the fifth-class boiler, the sixth-class pawn, the seventh-class merchant, the eighth-class guest and the ninth-class farmer.

Buddha refers to Sakyamuni, and "immortal" refers to the Buddha, Grand Priest, the Upper Eight Immortals, the Middle Eight Immortals and the Lower Eight Immortals. Emperors of past dynasties and "real dragons" and feudal emperors; The "official" is not only an official of the imperial court, but also an official of the winery. In the past, the brewing industry was very developed, and the largest factory was the winery. "Dang" is also a pawnshop, "Shang" is a commercial industry, "Ke" is a manor owner, and "Zhuangtian" is also a farmer.

The nine schools in the middle are: first-class doctor, second-class doctor, third-class geomantic omen, fourth-class critic, fifth-class painter, sixth-class physiognomy, seventh-class monk, eighth-class Taoist, ninth-class Chyi Chin.

The winners in the list are that the doctor is a doctor, Feng Shui refers to Mr. Feng Shui, Pi is a fortune teller, Dan Qing is a painter, and the physiognomy is both a fortuneteller and a fortuneteller. "Monk" is both a monk and a Taoist. Chyi Chin refers to a scholar here.

First-rate witches, second-rate prostitutes, third-rate gods, fourth-rate bangs, fifth-rate haircuts, sixth-rate trumpeters, seventh-rate performers, eighth-rate street prostitutes and ninth-rate candy sellers.

"Witch" refers to wizards and witches in the south who specialize in chanting and calling gods to exorcise ghosts. Unlike dancing in the north, wizards don't dance or sing, but recite spells. "Prostitute" is a prostitute, "Great God" is a so-called immortal possession, a witch who cures diseases by singing, dancing and singing, and "Bang" is also a night watchman engaged in timing work. "Shaving one's head" means a barber, and "blowing one's hand" means a drummer, a trumpeter, and a "band" that blows around the gate at weddings, funerals and weddings. The word "player" is easy to understand, that is, an actor who sings operas, "calling the street" refers to beggars, and "selling sugar" refers to people who blow sugar.

Of course, there are not only these 3,927 lines in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the division of the Ninth Five-Year Plan varies from place to place. Every first-class industry includes many occupations of peers or similar peers, such as shaving hair, not only hairdressers, but also pedicures, bathing, running errands, pulling carts, as well as massage, shop assistants, dancers and helping others, all of which belong to the service industry.

In the north, people's division of nine streams is different from the above division. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the local nine streams were only divided into two grades: the upper nine streams and the lower nine streams, and there was no such thing as the middle nine streams.

Specifically, Shangjiuliu is: First-class Buddha, Second-rate Fairy, Third-rate Emperor, Fourth-rate Official, Fifth-rate Worker, Sixth-rate Farmer, Seventh-rate Greedy, Eighth-rate Lazy and Ninth-rate Money Player.

First-rate workers are diligent, second-rate artists, third-rate quails, fourth-rate monkeys, five pedicures, six hairdressers, seven prostitutes, eight classics and nine hand-blowers.

What is particularly interesting here is that the "greed", "laziness" and "playing with money" of the top nine students actually refer to hedonists, that is, people who get something for nothing and have to be served.

In fact, there are many versions about the division of "nine streams", and different regions have different names, but "the next nine streams" basically refers to those who are struggling at the bottom of society, who have no land and are not engaged in farming, unlike those who have scores in business, or even craftsmen.
