YearSocial systemEvidence
from 800 ADThese times were the barbaric epoch. After that, with the introduction of the feudal system small statelets were established.During the period when small statelets were established there were statelets such as the Thaton State of the Mon, Palaung and Wa lineages together, and the Thayay-khittaya of the Pyus. Ancient artifacts have been discovered that can serve as historical evidence to show that this was the case.
from 845 to 1800Starting from the establishment of the State of Bagan until the Konbaung era the ancient feudal system was pervasive.Agriculture implements, hand tools, advanced construction skills, the craft of blacksmithing, masonry, metal casting, wood carving, painting, animal husbandry, literary culture, law and such ancient feudal titles and feudal production systems were prominent.
from 1800 to 1885 ADFrom the start of the Konbaung era until the end (Thibaw) a new era of feudalism (agricultural land) was prominent.During this period tools for human use progressively advanced and transformed into new forms. The forms of production, trade, transportation, contact with foreign countries and literary culture were all transformed during the interval between feudalism and capitalism.
