The daughter of the Qing emperor is called Gege, so why is the daughter of the vassal also called Gege?

"Gege" means "Miss" in Manchu, so the daughter of princes and ministers is called "Gege", while the daughter of the Qing emperor is not called "Gege". After the Qing army entered the customs, Huang Taiji acceded to the throne, stipulating that the emperor's daughter was called princess, not Gege. We think that the princess of Qing Dynasty will be called Gege, because in the familiar princess of Zhu Huan, Gege is used to address the emperor's daughter, but this is actually wrong.

We are all very familiar with Princess Zhu Huan, and even because this film and television work misunderstood many historical figures and habits of the Qing Dynasty at that time, calling the princess of the Qing Dynasty Princess Gege was the wrong influence brought by Princess Zhu Huan. When I was a child, I saw the swallow called Princess Zhu Huan. For a long time after that, I thought Gege was the title of Princess of Qing Dynasty. It was not until I grew up that I found myself misled by the TV series at that time. Of course, I can't say that there is anything wrong with the identity of the swallow being called Gege, because the swallow is not the daughter of Qianlong, but it is wrong for Wei Zi to be called the daughter of the emperor.

In Manchu, "Gege" means "Miss". There seems nothing wrong with calling the emperor's daughter "Gege", but the emperor is the emperor. How can the emperor's daughter be called like ordinary people? Therefore, after Huang taiji succeeded to the throne, he followed the example of the Han people, called his daughter a princess, and classified princesses. The queen's daughter is a princess in Gulen, the daughters of other concubines are called Princess Heshuo, and the daughters of princes and nobles or some high-ranking women are called Gege.

In fact, in the Qing Dynasty, the title of the emperor's daughter was the same as that of all previous dynasties, so it was not illegal for the emperor's daughter to be called Gege.
