They were mainly personal titles and were not closely related to specific fiefs. The titles differed in terms of social status, size of fief, and military power. For example, the Zhou emperor had jurisdiction over a thousand miles, while dukes and marquises had fiefs of a hundred miles, earls had fiefs of seventy miles, and viscounts and barons had fiefs of fifty miles. The later dynasties 'nobility system was mostly developed on the basis of the Zhou Dynasty. In Japan, after the Meiji Restoration, the Chinese were divided into five levels: duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron. The families of the old ministers and daimyo, the important ministers of the downfall movement and the Wuchen War, and some of the royal family who were demoted to ministers could obtain titles. These titles symbolized privilege and status, and influenced the government at that time.

The difference in rank between an earl and a marquis
In the European aristocratic hierarchy, the rank of a marquis was higher than that of an earl. In terms of social status, marquises belonged to the upper class of the aristocratic hierarchy, usually higher than earls, viscounts, and barons, but lower than dukes and princes. Earls belonged to the second highest class in the British aristocratic hierarchy and the French feudal aristocratic hierarchy, and their status was higher than viscounts and barons, but lower than marquises, dukes, and princes. In terms of inheritance rights, there were differences between the two. In the United Kingdom, the inheritance rights of earls and marquises were usually based on the male eldest son inheritance system. However, in European countries such as France, although the male eldest son inheritance system was basically followed, there were exceptions. For example, if an earl or marquis did not have a son, his daughter or younger brother might inherit. Relatively speaking, the inheritance rights of an earl were more flexible.
