Problem description:

Who can tell me: Why do some TV plays have Gege and Princess? What's the difference between them? Thank you very much

Analysis:

If you watch too many TV dramas, many words will naturally wear out your ears, such as "I" and "Gege". Gege is really flying all over the sky. Can you believe it? Now, which actress can mix a familiar face with "Gege" without stepping on a flowerpot with a crown on her head? However, people sitting in front of the TV gradually understood one thing: in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's daughter was not called princess, but called "Gege". So is this really the case? Looking up information is a big misunderstanding. It turns out that "Gege" and "Princess" are two different things.

It is clearly written in the Draft of Qing History: "Second-class princesses: Princess Gulun and Princess Shuo." "Gulen" in Manchu means "Gulen" in the world. The emperor is the statue of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the daughter born naturally deserves the word "Glen". Not all princesses can have the name "Glen". Only the daughter born of the queen can be named Princess Glen, and the daughters born of other concubines will naturally be classified as second-class and be named Princess Heshuo. As for "Gege", it is the title of the daughter of a member of the imperial clan below the prince. "Gege equals five: princess, princess, king of county, king of county and king of township." The prince's daughter is called Heshuo Gege, that is, the princess. The daughter of the king of the county is called Dorogege, that is, the princess. Baylor (full name Dolobelle, one level lower than the county king)' s daughter is Dolog, which is the county king. The daughter of Beizi (whose full name is Gu Shan Beizi, lower than Baylor) is Gu Shan Gege, that is, the county magistrate. The daughters of Zhen Guogong and Fu Guogong, who are lower than Beizi, are also called Gege, that is, Xiang Army. From the so-called Princess Glen to Gege, they all refer to grades, not specific names. For example, "Dorogege" can't represent a specific person.

The title of princess has a long history. The title of princess was very common in the Warring States period. The daughters of the emperor and the prince can both be called princesses. There is an allusion to the princess. It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the son of heaven married a woman to a vassal instead of himself, and ordered the vassal with the same surname to preside over the marriage. The princes are "public", so they are called princesses. In the Ming dynasty, the daughter of the prince was called the princess, and the daughter below the king was called the princess and the princess. The Qing dynasty generally followed the system of the Ming dynasty except that there were two titles of Manchu and Han under the monarch.

Then, according to these, the emperor's daughter is a "princess", and no matter what the emperor does, he can't belittle himself by calling the princess "Gege". For example, in Princess Huanzhu, no matter Wei Zi or Swallow, even if they are conferred by the emperor, they should be called Princess Huanzhu or Princess Huanzhu. However, the name of the eldest daughter of Zhan's family in "Da Zhai Men" is more appropriate. But the word "Gege" should be pronounced according to the old sound (Gege softly), not the pronunciation we heard in TV series.

The conferring of the princess is also a big event, and there should be a grand ceremony, which can not take effect immediately by pulling the neck and sealing the mouth like Zhang Tie-Lin. "The Draft of the History of Qing Dynasty" said: "The princess was conferred the title of envoy, and the princess led the maid to meet the right door, so that she was sent to the book, and the yellow case in front of Chen was moved to the front of the hall." The princess rose to the west level, six sous, three kneels and three knocks, announcing the end and awarding the maid. The princess knelt down and saluted as before. The messenger came back for me, but he was still sent outside the instrument door. It was the day when the emperor went to the temple. The princess went to preach, then went into the harem, knelt down and knocked three times. Once again, I walked up to the ladies, knocked on my knees, and returned to the government. It was a celebration, and the rest were like a prince's musical instrument. "

Please also refer to the following information:

"Gege" was originally transliterated in Manchu, and translated into Chinese means Miss and Sister. The title of the daughter of a noble family in the Qing Dynasty was that of a woman.

In the early years of the late Jin Dynasty, the monarch (that is, "Khan") and Baylor's daughter (sometimes including ordinary unmarried women) were called "Gege", and there was no customization. For example, the eldest daughter of the Qing emperor Nurhachi was called "Dongguo Gege" and the second daughter was called "Nenzhegege". After Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty succeeded to the throne, the imitation system began in the first year of Chongde (1636). The daughter of the emperor began to be called "princess", the daughter of the queen (that is, the middle palace) was called "princess Gulun", and the daughter of the concubine and the adopted daughter of the queen were called "princess Heshuo". "Gege" is a special title for daughters of princes and nobles. For example, Makata, the second daughter of Huang Taiji (born of Empress Xiaowen), was first named as Gulen princess royal, later changed to "Yongning princess royal" and later changed to "Wen Zhuang princess royal". It can be seen that it is inaccurate to refer to the emperor's daughter as "Gege" (such as "Princess Zhu Huan" and "Eighteen Gege") in film and television dramas. In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi (1660), Gege was divided into five grades, namely:

First, the prince's daughter, known as "He Shuo Ge Ge", is called "Princess" in Chinese;

Second, the daughter of the prince and the king of the county is called "Duoluogege", and the Chinese name is "Princess";

Turn from iron and blood

Third, Dolobel's daughter, also known as "Dologe", is called "Jun Jun" in Chinese;

Fourth, Beizi's daughter is called "Gu Shan Ge Ge" and her Chinese name is "Jun Jun".

Fifth, the daughters of Zhen Guogong and Fu Guogong are called "Gege" and the Chinese name is "Xiang Jun";

In addition, women below "male" are called "son preference". The name "Gege" was used until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and gradually ended. For example, Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty (Li Hong of Emperor Qianlong) gave birth to ten daughters, five of whom were not sealed because they died early, and the other five were sealed as princesses. That is, the third daughter (born in Empress Xiaoxianchun), Feng Jialun and Princess Jing; The fourth woman (Su, Chunhui Emperor Guifei) sealed the princess; Seventh daughter (born of Empress Xiaochun), Feng Jialun, Princess Jing; The ninth female (filial piety queen), Heshuo Princess Heke; Ten daughters (Fei), Feng Jialun and Princess Xiao. She is an exception, because she was born when Qianlong was sixty-five. She was the favorite daughter of Emperor Qianlong, and later married Feng?enyende, the eldest son of Hehe. She should be named Princess Heshuo. However, Qianlong made an exception and named him "Princess Julun". In addition, Emperor Qianlong adopted a daughter of his younger brother Hongzhou, who was later named Princess Heshuo and Princess Wan.

Judging from the above examples, the Qing Dynasty no longer called the emperor's daughter "Gege" from Huang Taiji, but generally called it "Princess".
