With the unique social status and living background, gentry hold varieties of statuses: agent of ruling class in primary-level society; class maintainer of traditional political system, ethics organizations and local social order. They are representatives of ruling class in grass-root level.Under the influence of Confucian thought and the great tradition of dynastic rule, gentry appeared in ethnic minority border areas.
