Some farmers have gained more freedom and profound changes have taken place in social relations of production. The class contradiction is sharp and fierce, and the merger war continues year after year. The whole society presents a complicated situation of great turmoil and reorganization.
During this period, a new social stratum came into being, that is, scholars. They come from all aspects of society, although their status is low, but many of them are learned and talented people, some are scholars who are familiar with astronomy, calendar and geography, and some are outstanding political and military talents.
