The TV series "Wei Zi Gege" and "Zhu Huan Gege" have been broadcast for so many years, in fact, we have made a mistake in a concept.

The name "princess" began in the Warring States period, because the daughters of emperors were all married to princes, and princes were also called "princes", so ... you know. It is no exaggeration to describe it as "simple and rude".

However, "Gege" only appeared in Qing Dynasty. "Gege" comes from "Manchu", which means "Sister" and "Miss". But "Gege" does not refer to the daughter of the emperor, but refers to the relatives of the emperor and the daughter of the country. The emperor's own daughter is still called "princess".

In ancient times, father-in-law was also graded. Among the daughters of the emperor, the daughter born to the queen is the most distinguished, called Princess Gulen, and the daughter born to the concubine is about to be demoted to Princess Heshuo.
