700 years ago when China was under the rule of the Mongols, the Chinese men who overthrew the Yuan dynasty with violent uprisings such as the Red Turban rebellion were largely ricecels.
"A more compelling question is the extent to which the Red Turban rebel-lions were an outgrowth of class-based economic grievances, or perhaps even of Nor does a single peasant or practicing farmer of any kind appear among the rebellion's leaders; they were itinerant monks and diviners, traveling ped-dlers, ironmongers, fishermen, boatmen, constables, and yamen clerks-a motley group of men whom the Yuan shi at one point convincingly lumps together as "the rootless ones" (wulai). Indeed, it may not be too far amiss to see in Tianwan a rebellion of dispossessed, familyless, marginalized males against a landed (or at least settled) agrarian establishment."
