Imperial concubine, a high-ranking concubine, is one of the titles of the emperor's concubines. Liu Jun, Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty, was established in the third year of Xiaojian in the Southern Dynasty. His position was second to that of empress, and most of them were established from Sui Dynasty to Qing Dynasty. In the early years of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, it was suspended and restored. During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty set up another imperial concubine on top of it. It was used in Qing Dynasty.

The imperial concubine is the title of the ancient emperor's senior concubine room. It is the first class of the inner wives, and its status is equal to that of the most advanced Pro Princess and the eldest princess among the outer wives.

Evolution history

Imperial concubine, the title of imperial concubine in ancient times. At first, it was established by Emperor Xiaowu of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was named as the third lady with his concubines and noble people. Most of the descendants use its name.

In the Tang and Song Dynasties, imperial concubines were second only to Queens. Imperial concubines, Shu concubines, de concubines and Xian concubines were called four ladies, and their grades were the same.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were many titles for imperial concubines in the palace, such as Shunfei, Ningfei, liangfei and so on, but Guifei was still the most senior title. Xianzong first set up huangguifei, and Guifei became the second-class title.

The imperial concubines of the Qing Dynasty were: empress, imperial concubines, imperial concubines, concubines, concubines, noble people, Chang Zai, Hui Hui, official women, and pretty women. The imperial concubine is the third title of the harem.

Before the establishment of the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine was always the first class of the inner wives. The status of a princess is roughly the same as that of the prince's wife and the princess of the same generation. A princess is the first class of a woman's inner life, while a princess and a princess are the first class of a woman's outer life.
