This is a social system based on the hierarchical enfeoffment of the aristocratic ruling class and the possession of land, farmers (or serfs) and other wealth. Its basic forms are feudal hierarchy and manor system. Farmers (or serfs) cultivated the land products of most landlords and paid them to feudal owners. Superstructure is mainly a feudal country characterized by hierarchy. The dominant ideology is to maintain the feudal system and feudal hierarchy and carry forward traditional morality as its main content. Under the feudal system, the basic social classes were feudal lords and peasants (or serfs).
