As we all know, in the Qing dynasty, people who were called brothers were generally the sons of emperors, and they were generally called brothers to underage princes, because adult brothers usually had different titles. However, in order to show the intimacy of the relationship, the elders or peers in the royal family may also address the adult prince brother in more private occasions. Although they are all sons of the emperor, their ranks, treatment and status are also very different. According to different levels, from high to low, it can be divided into the following twelve levels: Prince Heshuo, King of Duoluo County, Duoluobeile, Gushan Beizi, Lord Zhen, Lord Fu, Lord Zhen, Lord Fu, General Guo Feng and General Feng En.
Among the above twelve grades, Prince Heshuo is the prince in our popular sense, the king of Duoluo County is the king of the county, Duoluo Baylor is Baylor, and the isolated mountain Beizi is Beizi. Among them? Eight points? It is a symbol of the Qing dynasty, mainly used to show aristocratic status. The last four generals are equivalent to the first, second, third and fourth military attaché s of the imperial court.
It is worth mentioning that the Qing Dynasty is different from the previous dynasty-the Ming Dynasty: under normal circumstances, the princes of the Ming Dynasty were born with royal titles, and the throne was hereditary. The title of prince in Qing dynasty was sealed according to his reputation and political and military achievements. Except for the titles of ten iron hat kings and two county kings, the rank of princes of other titles decreased from generation to generation until the fourth generation did not inherit the titles.
