The western nobility and the China nobility

The title of nobility in China was a title awarded by the ancient emperors to their relatives and meritorious officials who were related by blood. It was a symbol of social status and the amount of material benefits they enjoyed. Generally, different titles were awarded according to the degree of kinship or the size of their contributions. Different dynasties had different ways to promote titles. For example, in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, knighthood was to enfeoff vassals, and knighthood was also an official title. During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, many countries mainly awarded titles according to their contributions to the country. In the Qin Dynasty, the promotion of titles mainly included military merit, paying grain, catching thieves, accumulating merit, and special knighthood. In the past, it was said that there were five kinds of titles in the Zhou Dynasty: duke, marquis, uncle, son and male. Later generations often changed their titles and titles according to the times. In the West, there were dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons. According to whether they could be passed on to future generations, they were divided into hereditary noble titles and lifelong noble titles. The former could be inherited by the eldest son after death, while the latter could only be held when the person was alive.

What rank is a viscount in China?

In ancient China, the title system and the rank system were two different systems. The title mainly reflected status and certain political and economic privileges, while the rank was mainly used to measure the administrative level of officials. The two were difficult to directly correspond. In the Qing Dynasty, titles were divided into different ranks. Viscounts were divided into four ranks. The first rank was also a cloud cavalry captain, first rank, second rank, and third rank. However, this did not have a direct corresponding conversion relationship with the nine ranks and eighteen ranks of officials. During the Zhou Dynasty, the nobility system also existed independently. Similarly, there was no clear corresponding relationship with the rank system. Therefore, it was not easy to say that a Viscount was equivalent to a rank in China.

Ancient Rank Rankings

In ancient times, the ranks of nobility were more complicated and varied in different dynasties. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were titles of nobility, which were divided into Prince and Prince. Prince ("One Word King", usually using the name of the country in history) had a higher status than Prince ("Two Word King", usually using the name of the county, but there were exceptions with one word). During the Cao Wei and Sima Jin dynasties, there were two levels of nobility. The higher ranked Prince was usually granted to the imperial clan, while the lower ranked Prince was the King. Taking the Song Dynasty as an example, the source of the title of nobility was divided into three levels: big country, secondary country, and small country. This also reflected a certain difference in the level of nobility. The big countries mainly included Qin, Qi, Wei, Yan, Chu, Lu, Chen, Wu, Yue, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Han, Tang, Xu, Ji, Yong, Yang, Yi, Zhen, Deng, He, Yan, Jing, Yun, Liang, etc.(Originally,"Jin" was also included, but because Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne as King of Jin, Jin was no longer a vassal state). The secondary countries mainly included Wei, Zheng, Cai, Xu, Dai, Ying, Qi, Sui, Xing, Jing, Guang, Fu, Hua, Su, Mi, Su, Xiang, etc. There were more small countries. In the Qing Dynasty, the titles of nobility were divided into two classes: Prince Heshuo (Prince) and Prince Duoluo (Prince). Some of the titles were not subject to the rule of "descending rank inheritance"(the title was reduced by one rank in each generation of inheritance). These titles were inherited while maintaining the original title (original rank inheritance), commonly known as the Iron Hat King. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty had the emperor's father, the Prince Regent, who nominally exercised his power when the emperor was young. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the feudal land of the nobility was banned, and the title of nobility became more of an honorary title. The difference in the rank of nobility was more reflected in the sense of honor and related fields. Click on the link below to read the comic "The Viscountess Bits Everyone When She's Crazy"
