Why is The Journey to the West Nezha called the Third Prince?

Journey to the West Nezha is called the Third Prince because he is the third son of Li Jing, who is a vassal.

Before the Han Dynasty, sons who were not emperors were called "three princes". As long as the king or vassal is a king, he can be called a "prince", and those who have no inheritance rights will be named a "prince". The word Nezha comes from the list of gods. He described things before the Han Dynasty, so it is natural to call him "the Three Princes".
