Chinese Civilization and Culture
China started its transition from an aristocratic society earlier before the European countries. From a community in which the social status and the political powers were based on the side of kinship. China was transformed into a meritocracy where the social prestige and the political selection were determined by the written classical examination to establish genuine academic qualifications. Chinese transition was a very fast form of transition compared to that of Europe which took about 3 centuries.
