Chapter 52 Appendix 3 Official Rank and Taste of the Tang Dynasty No. 1
Although the Sui Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty, it was the founder of the political structure of China's feudal dynasties, and pioneered the model of separation of powers in which Western regimes followed suit! The official system formulated by it also had a strong influence and guiding force on the subsequent Tang and Song dynasties until the Qing Dynasty, laying the foundation for the development of the feudal official system.

The Sui Dynasty divided the ranks of officials into nine grades and thirty ranks, and these officials above the nine grades (including nine ranks) were collectively called Liunei officials, which were official civil and military officials. In addition, there are also nine outflow nine products under the nine grades, but they are no longer in the establishment of official officials, but officials and clerks. Ascending from the outside of the stream to the inside of the stream is called "entering the stream".
It is divided into nine grades and thirty levels, "inside the stream" and "outside the stream", which is to maintain the strict hierarchy of feudal society, which is used to distinguish between the noble and the low, the high and the low, the light and the heavy, and the superior and inferior.
There are four main categories of officials: knights, lords, loose officers, and ministry officers.
Jue: That is, the title and title of knighthood, which is the emperor's gift to the royal family, nobles and meritorious heroes.
Xun: It was originally an honorary title given by the emperor to those who had military merits, whether it was a soldier or a general, and it had nothing to do with his status. Later, it was expanded to include court officials, including civil officials. There is only grade and no authority.
Loose officials: Relative to the ministry officials with the right to office, it refers to those officials who do not have a fixed position and do not bear actual responsibilities, but have rank, so they are also called rank officials. Their official rank is the basis for receiving a salary and enjoying certain courtesies, and they are generally promoted with seniority. Loose officials can also serve as ministry officials who are not much different from their ranks, and those who concurrently serve as officials below this rank are called "Xing", and those who concurrently serve as officials above this rank are called "Shou".
Minister: An official who has the authority to take charge of specific government affairs in a government department, that is, an "official" in the usual sense.
