The emperor demoted [concubine] to [infinite]. What does this promise mean? Does anyone know that you can explain it? thank you

According to the system of concubines in the harem in Qing Dynasty, the women in the harem are maids-in-waiting, promising, constant attendants, nobles, concubines, concubines, empresses, queens and empresses.

In fact, there was infinity in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, with different sizes, but it was not the emperor's concubine at that time. In the Ming dynasty, the promise not only refers to maids, but also sometimes refers to eunuchs.

Since the Kangxi dynasty, Wuji has become the emperor's concubine. Their duty is to live in the harem with the concubines.

Extended data:

How humble the promise is, we have to start with Emperor Kangxi, the designer of the promise system. The concubines of Shunzhi have not promised yet. When Emperor Kangxi arrived, he redefined that "there are one concubine, two concubines, four concubines, and six concubines under the queen, which are divided into the East and West Zodiac and ruled by the left.

Starting from the title of imperial concubine, all titles were prepared and submitted by the cabinet, and titles were awarded by the king. Noble people, who are always there, promise to have no place, live in the twelfth house and practice their internal duties diligently. "It can be seen that the infinity designed by Kangxi is the lowest among the emperors' wives and concubines.

It is difficult to know how many promises the Qing emperor made, because there is no fixed number of promises. During the Qianlong period, the Ministry of Interior reported the situation of Kangxi concubines to the emperor, and the number of people in Gan Qing Palace, Jingyangmen Palace and Yuqing Palace alone reached more than 200, which was a bit exaggerated.

Among them, Gan Qing Palace promised 10, Jingyang Palace promised 47, Xiaoqinggong promised 82, Yuqing Palace promised 7, Xiaoqinggong promised 22 and Institute promised 4 1. Although Kangxi was criticized for his large number of concubines, this figure still seems a bit excessive.
