Wei Zi's Identity in Zhen Huan's Biography

Qing palace dramas are often interpreted in modern times, and people have a certain understanding of Qing history. Influenced by Princess Zhu Huan, many people think that the emperor's daughter is called Princess Gege, but the appearance of "Princess of the Lost Moon" and "Princess of Wen Yi" in the palace has puzzled the monks in Zhang Er. After all, what's the difference between a princess and a princess in the Qing Dynasty?

The title of Princess existed in ancient China. In the biography of the Spring and Autumn Ram, it is clearly mentioned that "the son of heaven married a woman as a vassal". The public here refers to the "Duke" and the "Lord" refers to the marriage, which means that the Duke personally presided over the wedding, which is also an honor that the princess can enjoy.

Despite the change of dynasties, the title of princess has continued. In addition to the song dynasty called "emperor Ji", the Qing dynasty called "Gege". However, Gege and Princess are completely different. They are not the same thing at all Don't confuse them after reading this article.

In the post-Jin period, the title of Gege appeared in history. They called the monarch and Baylor's daughter "Gege", and there was no regulation about Gege at this time. But with the succession of Huang Taiji, everything changed. 1636, Huang taiji announced that he would follow the example of the Ming system, calling the emperor's daughter a princess and clearly distinguishing between concubines and concubines. If it is the queen's daughter, it becomes "Princess Gulen", and the daughter of a concubine or the adopted daughter of the queen becomes "Princess Heshuo". In Manchu, Gulun means "world, country and honor" and Heshuo means "one side".

Of course, the rules can be changed. If the princess is loved by the emperor, it is also possible to be raised, such as the daughter of emperor Qianlong, Gu Lun and Princess Xiao.

But there was no specific classification of Gege, so the emperors had a whim and gave an order to show their identity. For example, the daughter of the prince is named "Princess Heshuo". If she was born in Defujin, she was named as the princess. If she was born in the side room, she was named as the princess. The daughters of the prince and the county king are named "Dorogege", and the daughter of Dorobel is also called "Doro Brother", which is also divided into official and ordinary. In addition, the daughter of Beizi in Gushan is called "Gege in Gushan", and the daughters of Zhen Guogong and Fu Guogong are called "Gege". Neither of them has a title.

Of course, in some informal situations, Gege can also be used for women with high status. For example, sourdrang queen's maid, Aunt Summala, was once called "Gege". Some princes' concubines are also called "Gege". The Draft of the History of Qing Dynasty once recorded that Niu Zhilu, princess of Yongzheng, was called "Gege" when she was hiding in her mansion.

From this point of view, in the Qing Dynasty, Manchu had a very high status and class order was everywhere. But in the early Qing dynasty, there were Han people in groups. However, with the gradual stabilization of the Qing dynasty's rule, the Han people rarely divided into groups for various reasons.

From this perspective, the film and television drama Princess Zhu Huan made mistakes not only in the headdress, but also in the title. If it is really the emperor's daughter, it is absolutely impossible to be named "princess", and if Ganlong is really happy for the return of Xia's daughter, it is naturally impossible for her to use the same title as the imperial daughter. In an orderly palace, if Wei Zi has always been called a princess, Galeries Lafayette and Empress absolutely need not worry.
