The first room of the prince is called the princess, so what is the name of the prince's side room?

First, the first house of the prince is called the princess, but the side house of the prince has different names in different dynasties.

For example, in the Han Dynasty, the wives and concubines of princes were divided into three classes. The first room was called concubine, and the second room was called obedient girl and obedient child.

Tang Dynasty: The wife's name is Crown Princess. The side rooms are: Feng Yi, Cheng Hui, Liang Yuan, Liang Di, Prince Ai, maid-in-waiting and side princess.

Qing Dynasty: My wife's name was Fujin. The lateral chambers are lateral Fujin and ordinary Fujin.

2. The Prince is the title of the legal heir of the ancient emperors in China, and has been designated as the heir to the throne and the throne. It should be noted that the prince before Qin Shihuang cannot be called the Crown Prince, and only the prince in the imperial era can be called the Crown Prince.

The legal heirs of emperors and princes in Shang and Zhou Dynasties were called princes or princes. In the Han Dynasty, both the emperor and the heir of the prince were called "princes", but only the crown prince was called "crown prince". After the Han Dynasty, the heirs of princes were renamed as "Prince", and "Prince" became the unique title of the heir to the throne. The prince of feudal society, second only to the emperor, has the right to supervise the country and has officials of the Eastern Palace similar to the imperial court.

It should be pointed out that the "prince" is not an innate identity, but an identity given by the emperor. Only by "conferring" will you get the identity of a prince.

Because of the different relationship between the canonized and the emperor, the titles similar to those of the prince are "grandson", "granduncle" and "granduncle". Most princes are sons of the emperor, and a few are nephews or adopted sons of the emperor. The Yuan Dynasty was not familiar with the etiquette of the Central Plains, which led to the joke that the younger brother was the eldest brother "Prince".

During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, princes who were not heirs were sometimes called "princes".

In view of the lessons learned by the Crown Prince during the Kangxi period, Emperor Sejong of the Qing Dynasty officially announced the decision to unfairly open a crown prince. It was changed to a secret custody system: before the emperor died, he put the testamentary edict containing the candidate of the Crown Prince into an urn and hid it in the "aboveboard" plaque in Gan Qing Palace. After the emperor died, Minister Gu Ming took it out and announced it.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the emperors Tongzhi, Guangxu and Xuan Tong were childless, and the secret storage system existed in name only.

Third, the princess, the original meaning is that the ancient princes, kings and princes of China were married by the matchmaker. Later extended to refer to the emperor's side room.

Fourth, the side room refers to the little wife. The side room of the feudal emperor was called princess, and the side room of the Qing dynasty maharaja was called side Fujin.
