Why did the daughter born to concubines in the Qing Dynasty have a title?
In addition, it was Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty who began to imitate the Ming system, classified the daughters of the emperor as "princesses" and stipulated that the daughters born to the empress (that is, the middle palace) were called "Princess Julun". "Gulun" means "the world, the country and the nobility" in Manchu, but there are exceptions, such as the daughter of Emperor Kangxi, the daughter of Emperor Qianlong and the filial concubine. The daughter born to the concubine and the adopted daughter of the queen are called "Princess Heshuo", which means "one party" in Manchu. "Gege" is a special title for the daughter of the imperial clan who was knighted. Therefore, it is wrong to call the daughter of the emperor Gege, such as "Little Swallow Gege" and "Wei Zi Gege".
In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi (1660), Gege was divided into five grades, namely:
1. The daughter of the prince is called "Gege of Heshuo" and the Chinese name is "Princess";
Second, the daughter of the prince and the king of the county is called "Duoluogege", and the Chinese name is "the monarch";
Third, Dolobel's daughter, also known as "Dologe", is called "Jun Jun" in Chinese;
Fourth, Beizi's daughter is called "Gu Shan Ge Ge" and her Chinese name is "Jun Jun".
Fifth, the daughter of the town owner and the auxiliary owner is called "Gege", and the Chinese name is "Xiang Jun";
In addition, all daughters below "public" are called "son preference". The name "Gege" was used until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
