Princess is the title given to the princess, princess, and clan daughter in ancient China. It is referred to as "primary" and the male title corresponding to the princess is "king".
The origin, "Gongyang Zhuan" said, "When the emperor marries a woman to a prince, he must make the prince with the same surname the master of her", so she is called a princess. "The titles of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty can be roughly divided into six levels: king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male.
Below the king, the emperor of Zhou, there are the fifth level of male, prince, uncle, and male. The emperor of Zhou gave his daughter to When marrying a prince, he did not personally preside over the wedding, but let a prince with the same surname as Ji preside over the wedding. This is the origin of "princess".
And because the Zhou royal family's surname was Ji, the daughter of the Emperor Zhou also had the surname Ji. Called "Wang Ji", "The Book of Songs·Zhaonan·He Bi Zhu Ye" writes: "He Bi Zhu Ye, the beautiful Wang Ji is also. "Since then, "Wang Ji" has also become a nickname for the emperor's daughter. The daughters of princes are also called princesses. "Historical Records: Biography of Wu Qi" records that "the uncle is the prime minister and the princess of Wei. ”
If the princess did not die young but survived to adulthood, in most cases she would marry a courtier. In the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the princess either married directly to the princes, or married the courtiers at the same time. The courtiers were given the titles of princes, such as Lu Jing, who was granted the title of Marquis of Piling because of Princess Shang.
Since the princess's husband was basically from a prince, the princess could also be renamed after her husband, such as Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. The female Princess Yangxin was also called Princess Pingyang when she married Pingyang Hou Cao.
