Origin, "The Legend of the Ram" said, "The Son of Heaven marries a woman to the princes, and the princes will be the lord of the same surname", so it is called the princess. According to the Spring and Autumn Jue of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it can be roughly divided into six levels: king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. When Zhou Tianzi married his daughter to the princes, he did not personally preside over the wedding, and let the princes who were also surnamed Ji officiate the marriage, which is the origin of the "princess". And because the surname of the Zhou royal family is Ji, the daughter of Zhou Tianzi is also called "Wang Ji", and "The Book of Songs, Zhaonan, He Bi Xiang" wrote: "He Bi Xiang, the beautiful Wang Ji also." Since then, "Wang Ji" has also become a synonym for the emperor's daughter. The daughters of the princes are also called princesses, and the "Historical Records: The Biography of Wu Qilie" records that "the uncle is the prime minister, the princess of Shangwei." “

A princess is not the same as a princess, and a princess who dies before marriage is not awarded the title of princess in most dynasties. Conversely, there are also clan girls who will be granted the status of princesses. Marrying a princess is called "Princess Shang", and marrying a princess is called "general concubine".

The institution of marriage

Marriage

If a princess dies at a young age but survives to adulthood, most of the time she will marry a courtier. In the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the princess either directly married the princes, or married the courtiers at the same time as the courtiers were given the title of the princes, such as Lu Jing was awarded the title of Marquis of Biling because of Princess Shang. Since the princess's husband is basically from a liehou, the princess can also change her husband's title. For example, Princess Yangxin, the daughter of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, was also known as Princess Pingyang when she married Hou Cao of Pingyang.

After the Jin Dynasty, due to the restructuring of the title, the princess's husband was no longer a marquis, but a more concubine. In the Han Dynasty, the official position of the horse in charge of the deputy chariot was mostly granted to the relatives of the meritorious hero or the emperor, and later gradually became the exclusive official position of the person who married the princess. Therefore, later generations often called the husband of the princess a concubine (called the forehead in the Qing Dynasty).

Since the horse became the exclusive title of the princess's husband, the princess and her son-in-law's family have been strictly guarded against interference. Since the Tang Dynasty, most of the horses have been given idle positions after marriage, and they will not be granted important positions. In the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent princesses and sons-in-law from interfering in politics, princesses were mostly married to ordinary commoners rather than officials in the court. But sometimes it is because of inadvertent choices that cause marriage cheating incidents, such as the Princess Yongchun incident.
