Fan Jinzhong was equivalent to a fourth-grade official, which was the official position of the deputy county.
"Commander" had two meanings. One was the action of commanding a leader, and the other was the official name. Just the title 'Commander' alone was difficult to accurately correspond to a certain official position in modern times or a specific official position in ancient times. In the Qing Dynasty, there was the "Commander of the Nine Gates Infantry Army Patrol and Commander of the Five Battalions", which was also known as the commander of the nine gates or the commander of the infantry army. It was an official position that was in charge of the garrison and public security of the capital. It was usually held by the emperor's trusted ministers. Their main responsibilities were to guard the city, inspect the city gates, arrest thieves, and enforce the ban on patrolling the night. It was a second-grade official.(In the fourth year of Jiaqing, he was promoted to a first-grade Yamen), commanding the Eight Banners Infantry of the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han armies and the Horse Infantry of the Green Camp in the capital. In different context, the "commander" represented different official positions, and their functions and status were also different.

The temple was an ancient official position. During the Ming Dynasty, he was an official of the Dali Temple. He was in charge of the temple and was responsible for the review of criminal names throughout the country. Due to the huge differences in the judicial system and the division of functions between ancient and modern times, it was difficult to find a modern official position that completely corresponded to it. Generally speaking, their functions were similar to the judicial officials involved in the review of criminal cases in the modern judicial system, such as some judicial personnel involved in the review of cases in the court system. However, this was only a rough analogy and not exactly the same. While waiting for the TV series, you can also click on the link below to read the classic original work of "Dafeng Nightwatchman"!
Prince was a feudal title, which was fundamentally different from the official system in modern society. It could not simply correspond to a certain official position in modern society. In the feudal dynasties, the prince was the highest rank among the royal family and nobles. In different dynasties, the prince had different powers and functions. For example, the Liao Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty's prince controlled the military. However, in modern society, there was no royal family and title system under the feudal imperial system. The political system of modern society was based on the principles of democracy, equality, and the rule of law. There were completely different job classifications and functional systems.

In modern times, there was no official position that completely corresponded to the governor of the Qing Dynasty. The governor of the Qing Dynasty was the chief officer who governed the administration, economy, and military of one or more provinces. He had extremely high administrative and military power within his jurisdiction. He was the governor of the border. The administrative division and governance system of modern society were very different from that of the Qing Dynasty. From some aspects of their functions, if the affairs of the provinces under the jurisdiction of the governor were compared to modern times, they might be similar to the heads of the regions in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.(For example, the heads of the North China Bureau and the East China Bureau were responsible for coordinating the political, economic, and other aspects of the region. However, modern regional governance emphasized multi-party cooperation and division of labor under the system of democratic centralism, which was fundamentally different from the source and nature of the feudal governor's power.) However, this analogy was only a very broad comparison and was not completely equivalent.

Duke and marquis were not official positions, but titles. In the pre-Qin period of China, there were emperors who conferred marquises, which was the second rank of the feudal five-rank nobility (dukes, marquises, uncles, and uncles) in the Zhou Dynasty. In ancient times, official positions represented actual power and authority, while titles were more of a symbol of status. For example, the Duke of the State was a Secondary Rank One, second only to the Prince. However, the Duke of the State was a symbol of status and not an official position. It was usually granted to relatives of the royal family or meritorious officials who had contributed to the country. After being granted the title of Duke of the State, they often had no real power. The Shangzhu Kingdom was an official position with real power in different periods. Its main function was to control the army. The three dukes had different meanings in different dynasties. Sometimes, they referred to three official positions, but their power flourished and declined in different dynasties. In the later period, they were mostly empty positions. In short, dukes and marquises were essentially different from official positions. However, different titles would be related to certain official positions or status in different dynasties, but they could not be equated to official positions.

The provincial examination was not directly equivalent to an official position. Juren was the name of the person who took the imperial examination. However, after passing the examination, one would have the qualifications to be an official. They could participate in further selections such as the imperial examination, or they could take up some low-level official positions in some places, such as county school teaching and other positions. However, the specific official appointment would depend on the subsequent development and the needs of the officials at that time.

Commissioner was an official position in the Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to the duties and authority of the current local court and judicial department (bureau). The commissioner was the chief officer in charge of prison affairs and litigation. In modern times, the position of commissioner could be compared to the position of a local court, responsible for handling criminal and litigation cases.
State Guarding Duke was an ancient title of nobility, and had no direct relationship with the modern official system. In ancient times, State Guarding Dukes were a type of feudal title system. In the Qing Dynasty, they were imperial clan titles. Their status was noble, but it was not equivalent to the official positions with clear functions and jurisdiction in the modern sense. Modern society was a socialistic society, and its governance system was based on the principles of the rule of law. It was fundamentally different from the feudal nobility system.

Si Li Jian was a special eunuch organization in the Ming Dynasty. Its functions and roles were formed under the specific political, social, and palace systems of the Ming Dynasty. It was difficult to be completely equivalent to a modern official position. In the Ming Dynasty, the Si Li Jian was responsible for managing the etiquette in the palace, supervising the etiquette and law of the eunuchs in the palace, and in the later period, he was granted the right to approve the red power of the acting emperor, so he could compete with the cabinet and interfere with the decision-making of the court. If one were to make a rough analogy, the ceremonial director's management of court etiquette was a bit like the modern department staff responsible for large-scale event organization, etiquette arrangements, and other functions, but this was only a very broad analogy of etiquette functions. The part that participated in the decision-making was a bit like a part of the president's secretary team or consultant team. It could influence the direction of decision-making to a certain extent, but this analogy was also very inaccurate, because the political system of modern society was fundamentally different from the feudal autocratic system of the Ming Dynasty.
