imperial concubine
China ancient empresses collectively. The wife originally refers to the female official, and the concubine refers to the second-ranking concubine. According to records, the system of the Zhou Dynasty is: "The emperor has six palaces, three ladies, nine concubines, twenty-seven and eighty-one women are imperial", and all of them are concubines except the queen. Qin Shihuang unified the world, and all the maids in the six countries enriched the palace, ranking eighth in the official rank. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty classified concubines as 14, such as Zhaoyi, Jieyu,? E, wait In the Han and Tang dynasties, there were palace officials and maids under empresses, and there were often hundreds of them given to the squire. In the Ming dynasty, the six palaces were customized, and the access was strict, but there were still many concubines in the harem. The titles of imperial secretary include imperial secretary, servant selection, talented person, wife and so on. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were as many as 9,000 maids in the palace. Concubines in Qing Dynasty were divided into imperial concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine, noble, frequent and promising. Maid-in-waiting is divided into female repair and female confinement. Polygamy of feudal emperors is an evil system that destroys women. Once the concubines fall out of favor, they will be put in the cold palace. What's more, before Ming Yingzong, the emperor died and all the concubines and ladies were killed.
