The ancient Chinese established a feudal fief system. In this system the whiole country was divided into a number of areas each of which was assigned to a member of the royal family. There were altogether ten classes in the system each class having to pay tribute and offer services to the one above.
Before the Industrial revolution, China was a trend-setter in science and technology. Unfortunately, this aspect of Chinese culture was ignored by the world and by China herself ,until very late. Though not the home of Buddhism, China has a vast treasure of Buddhist scriptures. Confucianism too is a leading religion.
