This week we discussed the Bone-Rank (Gompuldaejo) system that was prominent in the Silla Kingdom. The bone-rank system was rigid and was used to determine the ranks within the nobility. This system was abolished in the Unified Kingdom of Silla in 935. This system was interesting as it showed the classism that existed in ancient times, and that has continued to exist in the future. Moreover, the bone-rank system directly influenced how people acted towards one another. I believe that it is interesting that this system does not necessarily impact the lower classes, but more so impacts the nobility.
