After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty emperor, the emperor was called the empress.
"Zhou Li" stipulates that after the establishment of the Emperor of Heaven, there will be three wives (one product), nine wives (two products), twenty-seven wives (three products to five products) and eighty-one royal wives (six products to eight products). A total of 12 1 person.
These five factors are interrelated to determine the grade. It corresponds to the six palaces, three palaces, nine ladies, twenty-seven doctors and eighty-one scholars of foreign dynasties. The sixth house is the first house and the last five houses. The last five refers to the last one; Three ladies and one palace; Nine palaces and one palace; The 27th Women's Palace; Eighty-one wives and one palace. After entering the palace, he was like the king; The lady sat at the ceremony; Nine wives teach four virtues; The wife of the world knows how to mourn the guests; The female emperor ordered Rebecca to sleep.
The king of Qin obtained the government's annexation of six countries, unified the world, called himself the emperor, and his official position was called the queen.
The Empress system of the Han Empire inherited the Qin system, and clearly stipulated that the emperor's grandmother was called the Empress Dowager and his mother was called the Empress Dowager, thus determining the title of Empress Dowager of China.
The imperial power system was established in the Han Dynasty, and the harem system continued for four emperors in the early Han Dynasty, and was later established and acquired by Emperor Wudi and Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty. The titles of the imperial court are divided into 14 grades: Zhao Yi, Jieyu, Hubei, Hua Rong, Beauty, Bazi, Chongyi, Qizi, Good Man, Long Envoy, Less Envoy, Five Signs, Shun Chang, No Trickling, No Trickling, which also includes Republic, Performing Arts, Protecting the Law, Good Envoy and Night Envoy.
In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the special title of the emperor was Empress, and other imperial titles were Lady, Beauty, Lover, Eight sons, Seven sons, Long Ambassador and Small Ambassador.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty added Jieyu, Hubei, Hua Rong and Chongyi.
Yuan Di added Zhao Yi, which is also a good messenger with five senses, smoothness, non-trickling, republicanism, entertainment, forest protection.
The number of harem in the Eastern Han Dynasty did not decrease, but in view of the weight of consorts in the Western Han Dynasty, the harem was reformed, and the title of emperor was only set at the fourth level. Before Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty ruled the province, there were only nobles, beautiful women and colorful women except the queen. Later, imperial secretary and concubines were added. There are only queens and nobles in the harem. The noble gold ribbon is still there, but Lu Feng is only a few dozen welcome millet. There are also beauties, imperial secretaries and cainv, but there are no titles, only rewards. )
Cao Wei's concubines are divided into 12: Guidi, Madam, Shu Fei, Shuyuan, Zhao Yi, Zhao Hua, Xiurong, Yixiu, Jieyu, Ronghua, Beauty, and Lover, due to the romance of literature and his love for nicknames.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Wei Taizu was divided into five queens: Madam, Zhao Yi, Jieyu, Ronghua and Beauty.
Wendi was promoted to five levels: Guidi, Shuyuan, Xiurong, Shuncheng and Lover.
Zeng,,,, etc. Except shuncheng.
At the time of Taihe, Ming Di's imperial edict to his wife was above Shu Fei and below her was 12. Your wife, your wife is the queen, you can't see it; Shu Fei is in the same country, and the nobility is not as good as the princes; Shu Yuan is both a physician and a magistrate; Hou of Zhaoyi County; Zhaohuabi Township Hou; Repair capacity is not as good as pavilion; A break is better than Shanhaiguan pass; Jieyu saw two thousand stones among them; Hua Rong saw two thousand stones; Beauty sees two thousand stones; Love is blind.
Jin Shesan's wife: your wife, imperial concubine and distinguished guests; Nine wives: Shu Fei, Shu Yuan, Yi Shu, Xiuhua, Xiurong, Yixiu, Jie Yu, Hua Rong and Zhong Hua. There are other beautiful women, talented people, talented people.
The Northern Dynasties inherited the Wei-Jin system with a slight increase. "Daowu chased the ancestors from the emperor and served as the queen. Started standing in the palace. I am all or madam, how much is infinite, but there are levels. Wu Tai slightly increased the number of Zhao Yi, nobles, etc. There are more and more backyard. Wei's story tells us that when a queen is established, it is necessary to cast a golden man, so that the winner is auspicious, not ancient. "
Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty changed the inner palace;
The left and right Zhao Yi regards Fu, the third lady regards San Gong, the third lady regards Sanqing, the sixth lady regards Chinese medicine, and the imperial woman regards Yuan Shi. Later, I set up a female position to do the things in the code:
Internal affairs regard servants; As ministers, eunuchs and waiters, the three palaces are regarded as second-class; Prison, female history, beauty, female history, female saint, female calligraphy history, female scholar and little scholar are three things; Chinese talents, for the people, Chinese messengers, female talents, courtiers regard four products; Look at clothes, women's wine, women's food, women's food and women's slaves.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, the gold system was added or deleted. When it came to Emperor Song and Ming, it was stipulated that the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine were three wives; Shu Yuan, Yi Shu, Rong Shu, Zhao Hua, Zhao Yi, Zhao Rong, Xiuhua, Yixiu and Xiurong are his ninth wives; Take Jieyu, Ronghua, Chonghua, Cheng Wei and Lierong as five posts; Another set of temporary workers includes beautiful women, talented people and lovers.
In the first year of the Southern Dynasty, there was a minister who played for ladies, wives and nobles as the third lady. Xiuhua, Yixiu, Xiurong, Shu Fei, Academy, Yi Shu, Jieyu, Ronghua, Huawei; Beauty, talent, talent are scattered. After three years in Taigu, Liang Bi won the founding of the People's Republic of China. Pauling is better than waiting for five; Talent is not as good as Xu.
Southern Chao Liang, Chen Yigui, Guidi and Guiji are three wives; Shuyuan, Yi Shu, Rong Shu, Zhao Hua, Zhao Yi, Zhao Rong, Xiuhua, Yixiu and Xiurong; Jieyu, Ronghua, Chonghua, Cheng Wei and Lierong are five posts; Beauty, wit, lover, three jobs.
Xuan Di, Emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, claimed to be Emperor Tianyuan, and the Empress Dowager was honored as Queen Tianyuan. There are also Empress Zhengyang Palace, Empress Tian, Empress Tian, Empress Tian You and Empress Tian Zuo, and the harem system is completely chaotic.
In February of the second year, it was restructured into a heavenly system. Ode:
Empress Tian Yuan is Empress Dowager Wudi, Empress Li Tian is Empress Saint, Empress Tian Yang is Empress, Empress Zhu Shi is Empress Empress Tian You, Empress Chen Tian Zuo is Empress Tian Zuo, and Empress Zhengyang Palace is called Empress.
After Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty won the world, he innovated one by one in view of the accumulated disadvantages of past dynasties. The old system has also been changed in the harem, and only the queen is in the palace. In the second year of Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty, he ordered to reduce the number of concubines according to the official program of Zhou Li, set up three wives, take charge of teaching four virtues, and regard three things as right; There are 9 women in the world, who are responsible for guest sacrifices and regard the five products as positive; There are 38 imperial women, who are in charge of the silk table of female workers and look at the seven products.
When Yang Di was Emperor Yangdi, concubines didn't have full-time jobs. "They just acted as decorations and accompanied Yanyou." Emperor Yang-ti was fascinated by this matter and made a name for himself. He took the imperial concubine, Shu princess and De princess as his three wives, and Lu was the first. Shunyi, Shunrong, Shunhua, Yixiu, Xiurong, Xiuhua, Fuyi, Furong and Hua Fu, nine times, the quality is second; Jieyu 12 people, third. Beauty, talent 15 people, fourth. For the 27th wife; Lin Bao has 24 people, ranking fifth. There are 24 imperial women, ranking sixth. 37 women were selected, ranking seventh. For the royal wife. A total of 120 people. Others, such as clothes and knives, "tend to wait on the left and right, and there are no people, depending on the level below six."
Under the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, there were four wives: Empress, Shu Fei, De Fei and Xian Fei; Nine wives: Zhao Yi, Zhao Rong, Zhao Yuan, Yixiu, Xiurong, Xiu Yuan, Chongyi, Chongrong and Chongyuan; The 26th wife: 9 Jieyu, 9 beauties and 9 talented women; 8 1 royal wives: 26 in Lin Bao, 26 royal women and 26 female emperors.
During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the empress had four wives, which did not conform to the old system. "I have three concubines, namely Hui, Li and Hua, and I have two concubines each."
The names of Yu Yu in Song Dynasty have no certain regularity, and they are quite diverse and messy. Generally speaking, when entering the palace for the first time, women's names are: Shi Yu and Hong Xiapei. Further, Feng Jun and Ma Feng. The Southern Song Dynasty changed the monarch to be his wife. You and your wife are not sure about the number of people and the name of the county. Later wives, gifted scholars, gifted scholars and Jieyu will enter, followed by Zhao Yi, Zhao Rong, Xiu Yuan, Yixiu, Xiurong, Chongyuan, Wanrong, Wan Yi, Shunrong and Renyi. Then, the princess level: imperial princess, virtuous princess, virtuous princess, comfortable princess and Chen Fei. The remarkable feature of the Song harem is that it has no orientation, starting from the primary level, growing with the pet and making constant progress.
Under the Empress of Liao Dynasty, there were Yuan Fei, De Fei, Wen Fei and Hui Fei, and there was no hierarchy among them. In the Yuan Dynasty, the harem had no other titles except the title of queen and princess. Jin dynasty was more complicated and perfect.
Jin is a dynasty established by Jurchen. The rulers clearly stipulated that they should not take it from the cloth after the election. At the beginning of Jin Chuangguo, concubines in the harem were nameless. When I arrived in Emperor Xizong of Jin Dynasty, I was known as a noble princess, a virtuous princess and a virtuous princess. During the reign of King Hailing, there were many concubines, and there were twelve favorite concubines: Yuan, Shu, Xian, Li, Shu, De, Zhao, Wen and Rou. Jin Shizong days, harem Jane less. During the Ming Dynasty in Jin Zhangzong, the harem system was ready.
Jin harem modeled after the Han system established a set of imperial system, expressly stated:
The queen has three concubines, namely the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine, which are the same as the three wives in the Han Dynasty.
Zhao Yi, Zhao Rong, Zhao Yuan, Yixiu, Xiurong, Xiu Yuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, Chongyuan, Zheng Erpin, with Han Jiuqi;
Jieyu 9 people, all three products; 9 honey trap, four products; 9 talents, positive five products; Twenty-seventh wife of Tonghan;
Twenty-seven people in Lin Bao, positive six products; Imperial women twenty-seven, seven products; Twenty-seven women were chosen, all of them were eight products, and there were eighty-one wives in the Han Dynasty.
Otherwise, Shanggong, Shangyi, Fu Shang, Shangshi, Shangshu and Shanggong are all forbidden to be officials in the harem.
The Yuan Dynasty was founded by Mongols. There are no so-called two queens or three queens in the Yuan harem except the main queen. As long as the emperor is happy, he can have as many queens as he wants.
There were many harem wives in the Ming Dynasty. After being blessed by the emperor, the maid-in-waiting won the title of princess and entered the ranks of the emperor's concubines. However, in addition to the title of queen, the harem of the Ming Dynasty only had the title of princess, and there were no concubines. There are concubines, Shu concubines, Ning concubines, Xian concubines, Gong concubines, Kang concubines, Zhuang concubines and Yu concubines, among which concubines have the highest status.
The concubines system in Qing Dynasty was determined by Emperor Kangxi, the second emperor in Beijing after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs:
The emperor's grandmother is the empress dowager; Mother is the empress dowager; Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager live in Cining Palace, and Toffee and Empress Dowager live together.
The queen sat in the palace and presided over the harem affairs;
The queen consists of one concubine, two concubines, four concubines and six concubines, and lives in six palaces.
There are noble people, always there, promises, and no destiny. They live in the east and the west with the imperial concubine.
The harem system of the Qing Dynasty stipulated that before the emperor's wedding, eight ladies-in-waiting older than the emperor were selected to enter the palace, that is, they dedicated themselves to the emperor. These eight ladies-in-waiting were all famous and were given the titles of four female officials in the palace: treasurer, treasurer, emcee and secretary.
Respondent: calka-novice level 31-1kloc-0/2: 44.
Ever since there was a monarch, there have been empresses. Empresses and concubines of monarchs have different ranks. However, the historical data of Xia and Shang empresses system is unknown, so it is unknown.
According to the Book of Rites, the order of concubines in the Zhou Dynasty is: the son of heaven has a queen, a wife, a common woman, a concubine, a wife and a concubine. The hierarchical structure of the emperor's court corresponds to the bureaucracy of the emperor's court. The son of heaven appointed six hundred, three public officials, nine ministers, twenty-seven doctors and eighty-one scholars to listen to the son of heaven and teach men on earth in order to achieve the goal of governing the country from outside. After the Emperor of Heaven, six officials, three wives, nine wives, twenty-seven wives and eighty-one concubines were established to obey the internal governance of the world, be obedient to women, make the world harmonious and put family first. From this point of view, in the traditional society of the unity of family and country, the queen of the son of heaven, as the spouse of the son of heaven, is the "king of the same body" and occupies a place in the monarchy. Their duty is to obey the internal governance of the world to cooperate with the external governance of the son of heaven.
Although the names and orders of Zhou empresses in pre-Qin classics and annotations are not incredible, they have a great influence on later generations. Wang Mang's New Deal flaunted the restoration of Zhou Li, and his harem system completely adopted the ideas of The Book of Rites and Zhou Li. Other dynasties also increased or decreased on this basis.
Qin died in six countries, and those concubines and princesses who died in the country "resigned from the downstairs hall, came to Qin, and sang at night for Qin Gongren". Therefore, in the harem of the Qin Dynasty, there are seven countries in the palace, and there are eight products in the rank. Every time Qin Shihuang broke the vassal, he imitated his palace in North Osakanoe in Xianyang, enriching the captured vassal beauty and the vocal music of the bell and drum. Therefore, Du Mu's Ode to Abang Palace said that the water washed by the beauties in the harem of many Qin emperors dyed Weishui red, showing that there were many women in his harem. Qin Huang's first wife was called the queen, and she was called the wife. There are beauties, lovers, eight sons, seven sons, long ambassadors, and few ambassadors. Unfortunately, although there were many concubines in the Qin Dynasty, no one left a name in history except the mother of Qin Shihuang, Empress Zhao.
After the Qin Dynasty, the number of concubines of Ye Ting increased to fourteen except the first wife, the queen. Zhao Yi 1, 2, Hydrocarbon 3, 4, Beauty 5, Bazi 6, Chong Yi 7, Qizi 8, Good Man 9, Ambassador Chang 10, Ambassador Shao 1 1, Wuzheng 12, Shunchang These people either have titles, positions or ranks. However, unless their deeds are particularly outstanding, they will generally not be included in the history books.
The Eastern Han Dynasty thought that the previous women's system was unreasonable, so it adopted the old system, and the names of the harem were only queens and nobles. In addition, it is also listed as beauty, imperial secretary and cainv, but there is no grade. Liu Xiuxian, Guangwu Emperor, married Yin Lihua, and later married Guo Shengtong for political needs. They are all noble people. On the question of who should be the queen, due to Yin Lihua's refusal, Guo Shengkun became the queen. Emperor Han Ming, Emperor Han and Emperor Deng were famous queens in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they were all promoted to queens by nobles.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were frequent changes in the names of the harem, including Chen Baxian who claimed to be simple and kept the harem, and the Northern Zhou emperor who was "ignorant of his ambition and insatiable in greed", so that it was impossible to record the names in detail. Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty took the place of Northern Zhou Dynasty, thinking about the disadvantages before the political reform, so the harem only took the queen as the room and did not seek personal gain. There are no three disciplines to avoid being forced. There are 60 people below. After the death of Queen Dugu, three nobles, nine nobles, twenty-seven wives and eighty-one imperial daughters were placed. After Yang Di acceded to the throne, "the queen's concubines don't marry, only adorn the beauty and accompany the banquet." In addition, Yang-ti also quoted allusions in detail, and gave names to the imperial concubine, nine concubines, vulgar wives and imperial women in an ingenious way, with different grades. The imperial concubine includes the imperial concubine, the Shu princess and the De princess, which are the first products of the three ladies. Nine: Shunyi, Shunrong, Shunhua, Yixiu, Xiurong, Xiuhua, Chongyi, Chongrong, Chonghua and Erpin; There are twelve women in the world and three products; Fifteen beauties and talented people, the fourth product; In addition, royal women include Lin Bao, royal women and vegetable women.
Tang inherited the Sui system and made some changes. By the time of Kaiyuan in Tang Dynasty, the Empress had three concubines, namely Hui, Li and Hua, six wives, beauties and gifted scholars. Wu Zetian was promoted by talented people. When she killed her daughter and framed the queen, Emperor Gaozong wanted to upgrade his rank to "Chen Fei", which was opposed by Han Zhongyuan and others. He thought that "the number of concubines is fixed, so it is not yet possible to set up a rank." Wu Zetian did not set up a princess, further framing the queen, so Emperor Gaozong simply abolished the queen and changed to Wu Zetian, crossing the level of the princess.
After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the numbering of empresses' titles began with the system of the Five Dynasties, and gradually began in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In addition to the Empress, there were empresses, concubines, concubines, nobles, talented people, waiters and maids in the Ming Dynasty. The Yuan and Qing Dynasties occupied the Central Plains with their neighboring nationalities, so they kept their original customs to some extent. Naive Kangxi gradually established a hierarchical post-discipline order. In addition to the imperial concubine, concubines, concubines and nobles, there have always been promises.
These harem ladies also have the right to hold titles and use maids. Empress is the wife of the emperor, and concubines with titles are the concubines of the emperor, which is a minority with high status in the palace.
An analysis of the hierarchy of harem women
It has become a historical fact that Emperor China liked women a lot. The question is, how to manage a large number of women in the imperial harem? Who has the most say except the emperor? What is the distribution standard of means of subsistence? How to arrange seats for major events in the palace? In the words of veteran cadres with modern management style, what is their treatment?
In different dynasties of China's long feudal society, there was a gradually mature feudal officialdom hierarchy that was always in operation. Similarly, in the harem of different emperors, an equally hierarchical hierarchy of harem women is quietly running.
In the Qin dynasty in the third century BC, the treatment of harem women was divided into eight grades. Among them, Super: The Queen. Level 1: "Madam". The second level: "beauty." Level 3: "lover". Level 4: "Eight sons". The fifth level: "seven sons". Level 6: "Dragon Ambassador". The seventh level: "Less envoy". My personal understanding of the original meaning of rank names without special professional training is: the mistress of the emperor's harem, the woman of the emperor's husband, the beautiful woman, the kind woman, the woman who can give birth to eight boys, the woman who can give birth to seven boys, the woman often used by the emperor, and the woman not often used by the emperor. There is no limit to the number of girls in each of the eight grades. In modern terms, these levels should be similar to a professional "title". Of course, people with professional titles do not necessarily have formal positions, which has become the basic common sense in the modern personnel system.
With Emperor Hanwu, the level of harem women began to be rich and colorful.
The old man's house of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cancelled the first-class "madam" among the eight women in Qin Shihuang's harem and replaced it with other four-level names. They are the first level: "Jieyu". The second level: "Jingwu". The third level: "Glory". The fourth level: "mending clothes". Perhaps, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose women's rank names because of some artistic appreciation factors. Grade five to ten are exactly the same as the names of women in grade two to seven in Qin Shihuang's harem. In this way, the post-official women in the Han Dynasty still enjoy the 1 1 grade hierarchy with the hierarchy of women in the Qin harem as the main content. This also proves that the so-called people who overthrew the old emperor only want to be emperors themselves.
It is particularly interesting that since the Han Dynasty, harem women began to have a clear concept of "treatment". Their "treatment", like other officials in the feudal dynasty, was measured by their food intake at that time.
For the convenience of narration, please allow me to illustrate the following ancient facts with two modern concepts of "professional title" and "position". Among them, "professional title" is equivalent to the treatment measured by the quantity of grain. "Position" is equivalent to comparing the rank of male officials in the ancient feudal dynasty government at that time.
Super: "Empress", whose title and position are equivalent to the emperor, and whose living conditions are exactly the same.
Level 1: "Festival", the title is equivalent to "Prime Minister", and the position is the same as that of the emperor's younger brother "Prince".
Second class: "Jing E", the title is equivalent to "Shangqing", and the position is the same as that of the emperor's relatives.
Grade III: "Hua Rong", whose professional titles are equivalent to "Deputy Prime Minister" and "Zhong" (one stone and ten buckets, one bucket is about 10.4 liter). The position is equivalent to the emperor's relatives.
Level 4: "mending clothes", the title is equivalent to "Minister" and "Real 2000 Stone". The position is equivalent to "civil servant".
The fifth level: "Beauty", whose professional titles are equivalent to "Governor" and "Two Thousand Stones". The position is quite "civil servant".
Level 6: "Lover", with titles equivalent to "Governor" and "Shifting Time". The position is quite "civil servant".
The seventh level: "Eight sons", whose titles are equivalent to "Governor" and "Thousand Stones". The position is quite "civil servant".
Grade 8: "seven sons", the title is equivalent to "deputy commander-in-chief" and "eight hundred stones" The position is quite "civil servant".
Grade 9: "Dragon Ambassador", the title is equivalent to "Deputy Commander-in-Chief" and "Eight Hundred Stones". The position is quite "civil servant".
Level 10: "Shao Shi", the title is equivalent to "county magistrate" and "six hundred stones". The position is quite "civil servant".
You see, as long as ancient women had beauty, they were valued by the emperor, even if they were awarded the lowest level, which was equivalent to the county magistrate of Qipin at that time. Such treatment, for women, may be an appropriate honor to borrow the wind and clear the sky; However, for men who are frustrated in their studies, perhaps the fatal sadness is not as good as the daughter's honor and disgrace. According to historical records, the women's hierarchy in the eleventh harem of the Western Han Dynasty was implemented for 70 years. There were more than 20,000 harem women in the Han Dynasty. Therefore, in a place like Beijing, it is not surprising that ordinary people will meet someone who can be called "director" if they walk carelessly. Because people of this level have existed since ancient times.
By the eleventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, the national strength of the Western Han Dynasty had greatly increased, and there were many prosperous times. The number of women in the harem reached the highest level in China's ancient history: twice as many as in Hanwu period, and there were more than 40,000 women in the palace. In order to adapt to such a large number of women, the new emperor increased the number of women.
After the super queen, add a new level of "Zhao Yi" to enjoy the treatment of the original level of "Jie Yu". From the original 1 level to 10 level, it is downgraded by one level. In this way, the original 10 grade "Shaoshi" has become 1 1 grade, and her job title is not the "county magistrate" grade, but the last grade of civil servants, and the food is also less, from "600 stone" to "400 stone". Interestingly, the concept used in the newly added hierarchy is almost the same as the salary system of a state-owned enterprise in modern China two thousand years later.
/kloc-level 0/2: "five permanent members". /kloc-below 0/2 level, there is no professional title, only five grains "three hundred stones".
Grade 13: "Shunchang" and "200 Stone".
/kloc-Grade 0/4 Grade 1: Dancing Trickle, Hundred Stones.
14 level 2: Republic and Hundred Stones.
Grade 14 and Grade 3: "Entertainment Spirit" and "Hundred Stones"
Fourteenth and fourth grades: "Lin Bao" and "Hundred Stones".
Fourteen grades and five grades: "Good Emperor" and "Hundred Stones".
14th and 6th grades: "Ye Xiang" and "Hundred Stones". (equivalent to 14000 liters of grain)
One class in the fifteenth grade: "going home", "fighting for food" and fighting for food.
Level 15 and Level 2: The China Family and the Competition for Food.
Seeing this, I smiled: judging from the names of these harem women, the male emperor of the Western Han Dynasty may have begun to like the female stars of song and dance entertainment. As for what are "upper-class family members" and "middle-class family members", I am somewhat puzzled.
Of course, the queen also has specific treatment standards: the tax of "thirty counties of Tang Muyi". The treatment and daily expenses of more than 40 thousand women in the harem of the Western Han Dynasty should be an astronomical figure. The wealth of the Western Han Dynasty can be imagined. However, the good times did not last long. When Liu Xiu came to power in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the country's economy was weak, and the number of women in the emperor's harem was greatly reduced: except for the super "queen", only five female grades of "imperial concubine, belle, imperial secretary, chooser and master" were retained. This is another story.
From the ancient concept of a certain level and a certain level, I can see the confusion of modern people: in the communication industry in the 1960s and 1970s, a unified national eight-level wage system was implemented, including "seven-level first class" and "eight-level second class". It's really interesting: one after another borrowed the idea that harem women enjoyed treatment more than two thousand years ago. Also, many so-called famous modern personnel system reforms are not only between a certain grade difference and a certain grade, but also increase and decrease. Some people finally got out of the trap designed by their ancestors thousands of years ago.
Well, it's a bit much, but I hope you can read it patiently and help you.
