Explanation:

In traditional Confucian social hierarchy, nobles (scholar-officials/noble elites) held the highest status as they governed and upheld Confucian values. Peasants were the second class because they produced food, which was essential for society. Artisans, who crafted goods, were the third class. Merchants were the lowest class as they were seen as only profiting from others' work without creating tangible goods.
