1. The title of royal women in ancient China. During the Han Dynasty, their status was equivalent to that of princes and kings, and only a few were named eldest princesses.
The eldest princess is generally the emperor's legitimate daughter or the meritorious emperor's sister and aunt. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperor's daughter is called the princess, the sister is called the eldest princess, and the aunt is the eldest princess.
The favored eldest princess has a higher status than ordinary concubines. In the Zhou Dynasty, the daughter of the emperor was called Wang Ji. During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, due to Cai Jing's suggestion, the Song court imitated the title of "Wang Ji" in the Zhou Dynasty and changed the title of "Princess" to "Di Ji", and the eldest princess was called "Chang Di Ji".
2. The reason why the emperors of the Qing Dynasty used the title "Lao Foye" is because the ancestor of the Manchus, the leader of the Jurchen tribe, was the first to be called "Manzhu".
"Manzhu" is the transliteration of the Buddha's name "Manshu", which means "Buddha" and "auspiciousness". Later, some prominent families and hereditary leaders were named "Manzhu". After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, "Manzhu" was translated into Chinese as "Buddha" and became the emperor's special title.
3. Crown Princess, the title of the Crown Prince’s spouse, is the Crown Prince’s wife, also known as the Crown Princess and the Eastern Palace Concubine.
In East Asia, the crown prince is the official title of the crown prince, so the crown prince is the official title of the crown prince's wife. In foreign countries, according to the different titles of princes in various countries, their head wives can obtain various official titles. Crown Princess, Crown Princess, and Grand Duke's Princess are common titles. Candidates for the crown princess are usually from nobles with relatively high status. The Crown Princess is the future Queen.
4. Emperor is the title of the supreme ruler during the Chinese imperial period.
The three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, such as Emperor Xi, Fuxi, Emperor Wa, Nuwa, Huangdi Xuanyuan, Yandi Shennong, etc. were not real emperors, but only tribal leaders or tribal alliance leaders. Their "emperor" or "emperor" titles were Added by later generations. The monarch of Xia Dynasty was called "Queen", the monarch of Shang Dynasty was called "Emperor", and the emperor of Zhou Dynasty was called "Wang".
Most of the princes during the Warring States period overrode the title of king and respected the Emperor of Zhou as the "King of Heaven". King Yingzheng of Qin unified China and believed that he had "the virtues of the three emperors and the merits of the five emperors". He coined the word "emperor" as the official title of the supreme ruler of China.
5. Titles are titles conferred and bestowed by emperors and monarchs. In China, titles began from the Zhou Dynasty at the latest until the Qing Dynasty and accompanied the entire feudal and imperial society of China; in Europe, titles have existed since the feudal era to the present constitutional monarchy; "title" is the same as "feudation". Most of it is reflected in the conferment of "titles".
