The history of concubines' self-improvement in Qing Dynasty
Empresses in Qing Dynasty were generally divided into eight grades, including one queen, one imperial concubine, two imperial concubines, four concubines and six concubines. In addition, there is no limit on the number of people with lower status, such as nobles, guests and legislators. Concubines in the harem are generally obtained through the draft, and the selected female practitioners are called young masters, and generally they can get noble or above positions. In addition, ladies-in-waiting who are favored by the emperor can also become concubines. Generally, ladies-in-waiting favored by the emperor should start with official ladies and then be named ladies-in-waiting or above.
