What's the difference between Gege and Princess?

Gege and princess are completely different things, okay?

But we have misunderstood for decades, orz.

Today, let's delve into this problem!

Princess? This title began in the Warring States period.

Why is it called princess? Because at that time, the emperor's daughters were all born as princes? Lord? Married, princes are also called? Public? So it's a simple and rude name.

Gege? How about this title? Only in the Qing dynasty. Because it comes from Manchu, which means miss and sister. Gege in the Qing Dynasty refers to the daughter of royalty and the emperor's own daughter, right? Princess? .

So, the following two, although we shouted for a long time, are actually princesses.

They are not Wei Zi Gege and Zhu Huan Gege, but Princess Wei Zi and Princess Zhu Huan (said 2333 after the truth was exposed)

In fact, the princess and Li Gege are also graded and have many doorways.

For example, among the daughters of the emperor, the daughter born to the queen is the most distinguished, called Princess Julun. The daughter born to a concubine will be demoted to Princess Heshuo.

There are many famous princesses in history:

Ambitious princess Taiping

Her mother is a legendary woman like Wu Zetian, who never lacks scheming and means, so she is ambitious to replicate her mother's success. But it's also fate. Despite her best efforts, she met an excellent opponent like Li Longji. The little boy who affectionately called her aunt at that time finally drove her to the bottom.

The deviant princess Gaoyang

She was born in a period doomed to love, and she didn't have her mother's care since she was a child. She loved her father very much, but she was the initiator of her mother's injury. Such a complicated life experience makes her long for recognition and powerful people. So she is very attached to the prince of Wu, far beyond the fetters between brother and sister. She despises Xu's weakness, and she is a husband and wife in name only. She found herself trapped in the debate machine and the salvation of her soul, but finally pushed the promising monk into hell.

In the end, her heart was only extremely lonely.

The face value of this play is too high, I want to see it back! )
