A Study Of The Social Division Of Labor And Social Stratification In The Secret History Of The Mongols

Most scholars believe that social stratification exists in both lower and higher societies.That is to say,today’s society also exists class phenomenon to some extent.From the literal meaning of "social stratification",social stratification refers to the phenomenon of unequal social status.According to the academic circles,"social stratification" refers to the stratification or difference phenomenon of social members and social groups due to the different possession of social resources.Therefore,there are some different levels of hierarchy between people and groups.In human society,social stratification is a universal phenomenon,but its form and degree are different.Comparatively speaking,in the more equal society,social stratification is less divided to some extent,while in the non-equal society,social resources and status are often distributed by hierarchy,hereditary system and feudal hierarchy.As the earliest extant historical work of the Mongolian nation,the secret history of Mongolia covers the history of the Mongolian nation of about 500 years.Therefore,it is very correct and of great research value to interpret the social division of labor and social stratification of the Mongolian nation through the secret history of Mongolia.In the secret history of Mongolia,there are herdsmen,merchants,workers(craftsmen),farmers and soldiers because there is a clear division of labor among the Mongolian people,and herdsmen,workers,farmers and soldiers belong to the lower class groups in the society at that time.Therefore,before studying the social stratification in the secret history of Mongolia,it is necessary to understand the dialectical relationship between social division of labor and social stratification.The class is the difference between the classes formed after the disintegration of the clan society in the Mongolian nationality,which is the core problem of studying the social stratification.We can divide classes into two different classes: the ruling class and the ruled class.With the accumulation of personal assets,the gap between the rich and the poor in the Mongolian national society has become increasingly wide,and with it,class differences have emerged.Therefore,in the Mongolian national society,aristocratic names such as khan,king,official and so on began to appear.On the contrary,classes such as common people and slaves formed among the underclass people who were exploited.This article mainly to the ruling class of the landlord class and the ruled class civilians as the research object,in Max weber’s social stratification three criteria,namely the right standard(political),wealth standard(the standard),reputation standard(social),to interpret "the secret history of Mongolia" in the social division of labor and social stratification,this also is the innovation of this article.Social mobility and social stratification are two aspects of the same thing,which are closely linked.Therefore,this paper tries to expound the changes of social status and position in the secret history of Mongolia through social mobility,thus revealing the influencing factors,nature and historical orientation of social stratification at that time.At the same time also let more people understand the way of the rule of the royal aristocracy at the same time also hope that people in the balance of power in the choice of a reference case.
