In the early years of the late Jin Dynasty, the predecessor of the Qing Dynasty, the monarch (that is, "Khan") and Baylor's daughter (sometimes including ordinary unmarried women) were all 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:
1. The daughter of the prince is called "Gege of Heshuo" and the Chinese name is "Princess";
Second, the daughter of the prince and the king of the county is called "Duoluogege", and the Chinese name is "the monarch";
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 daughter of the town owner and the auxiliary owner is called "Gege", and the Chinese name is "Xiang Jun";
In addition, all daughters below "public" are called "son preference". The name "Gege" was used until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. 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 example, the emperor's daughter was no longer called "Gege" in the Qing Dynasty from Huang Taiji, but was generally called "Princess". But the princess's family can also call her "Gege" in informal occasions, according to her ranking, such as "Big Gege" and "Ten Gege".
