Features: the class difference is very obvious, and the children of nobles enjoy higher education and have the privilege to read poetry books; The children of ordinary people only teach general knowledge and skills, and the tuition fees are not low. In fact, at that time, only the children of well-off civilians and nobles went to school, and the poor families could not go to school at all.
