Under the Yuan dynasty, the group that had the higher social status were the northern Chinese nobles. The Yuan dynasty, established by the Mongols, often favored the Mongol aristocracy and allied it with the northern Chinese elites. In contrast, the Song scholar-officials and southern Chinese merchants were generally considered to have lower status during this period. Turks and other Muslims, while given certain privileges, did not surpass the status of the northern Chinese nobles.
