Describe the living conditions of scholars, farmers and businessmen in Song Dynasty.

Scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce were the main forces in Song society.

1, scholars are generally respected in society and have a high social status; In the Song Dynasty, the national policy of valuing literature over martial arts was implemented, and scholars could become state officials through the imperial examination, which was the reserve army of the bureaucratic class.

2. Farmers or semi-farmers who own a small amount of land live a self-sufficient life; Tenants who have no land are exploited by landlords and basically live below the poverty line, but their personal attachment is looser than before.

3. Artisans are employed laborers in government-run or private handicraft workshops. They get a day's salary according to the contract, and their status is relatively free.

Businessmen have played an important role in the development of urban and rural economic exchanges. They pay business tax according to regulations, and their social status has improved. The children of businessmen can go to school, take the imperial examinations or be officials.
