Before Kublai Khan took over China, it had an open social hierarchy system wherein the citizens could take up civil examinations in order to move forward. Kublai Khan turned this open system into a closed one and demoted the elite literary group.

While this happened, the artisans and craftsmen were given increasing importance and therefore everyone turned towards art as a form of expression as a means of saving their lives. The- literati were made to write to entertain their elite masters.
