Qing Dynasty Li Yu, "Naihe Tian? The Seal: "Besides, my master is not the one who can organize the rules and regulations, and can distinguish between the first and the concubine and suppress the women." Qing Yuan Mei (清 袁枚)《续新齐谐?》:"Li Sheng Encounters a Fox". Li Sheng Encounters the Fox: "Besides, my youngest uncle has already been betrothed to a certain room, who will be the first concubine when he enters the house?" The first concubine system was the core of the ancient Chinese marriage system. In ancient China, monogamy and concubinage were practiced, but the status of each wife was not equal, and this difference was the difference between the first wife and the concubine. The first wife was the first wife and her children, while the concubine was the concubine and her children. The difference between the first wife and the concubine was more important before the Tang and Song dynasties, and was weakened from generation to generation by the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Polygamy in China was initially popular only among the aristocracy, while the commoners were mostly monogamous and called "Pifu Piwu". Under normal circumstances, in a polygamous family, a man could only have one wife, known as the first wife (before the Song Dynasty, only Jia Chong and a few others had the permission of the emperor to have equal status left and right wives due to special circumstances). The status of the wife and her husband are equal, in the clothing system, car system and other ceremonial system to enjoy the same treatment, such as the empress's clothes and the emperor's twelve chapters of the clothes, the benefit, new, about, Pei, ribbons, and other accessories are exactly the same. In most dynasties before the Song and Yuan dynasties, the act of having two wives without special permission will be punished by more than one year's imprisonment and the corresponding punishment of caning, and be forced to divorce, but the later generations are becoming more and more relaxed, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties there were a lot of men who had flat wives. A man who marries a wife is usually required to marry a woman of comparable background, and when he does so, he writes down information such as the family rank, first wife, and age of both parties in the marriage contract. In some dynasties, such as the Tang Dynasty, if a woman was married to a woman of a different background, whether the woman was of higher or lower status than the man, the marriage would usually be forcibly dissolved, and the party who had committed the forgery would be held legally liable. The ceremony of marrying a wife was very solemn, and it took more than a year for the son of Zhou to marry his wife, and more than half a year for his vassals to marry their wives. In later times, although the marriage ceremony was simplified, it still included three documents (three books), such as the book of appointment, the book of rites, the book of welcome, and so on, and went through six steps (six rituals), such as natsui, asking for the name of the man, naji (also known as the over-writing), naji, the period of time to ask (also known as begging for the day) and the pro-meeting (or welcoming the family). Sometimes the man himself must shoot geese for the goose ceremony, and in some dynasties the man is required to prepare poems for the makeup. A wife could not be reduced to a concubine, and was usually only repudiated if she committed the seven crimes, while some dynasties also stipulated that even if she committed the seven crimes, she could not be repudiated if any of the following three conditions were met (three don't go): first, she had experienced or presided over her father-in-law's or mother-in-law's funeral; second, the man's status was low at the time of the marriage, but he later became rich and powerful, which is also known as not going to the "chaff wife"; third, the wife's wife's status was not high at the time of marriage, but later on, he was rich and powerful. "Thirdly, the wife's family was scattered, and if the wife was repudiated, she had no home to go to. Common Wife The spouse other than the main wife is the common wife, but usually called concubine, according to the status from high to low there is the difference between the bridegroom (the main wife of the same family to accompany the woman), concubines, but also there will be some women who did not go through the formal marriage ceremony, mostly for the maidservant or *** and other pariah women, similar to modern-day mistresses, and sometimes also known as concubines, or concubines. The concubine was prevalent in the Zhou Dynasty, where noble women were married off and needed to be accompanied by sisters or aunts and nephews of the same clan, known as concubines, which were rarely seen in later times. Concubine is usually a man who marries a woman whose status is lower than his own, without going through the three books and six rites, but with a simpler ceremony to be taken as a spouse, known as concubinage, and after the formal ceremony of concubinage is also known as the side room. Concubines could be bought and sold, but not wives. Before the Song and Yuan dynasties, a concubine could not be a wife, or the man could be sentenced to one and a half years in prison. From the Song and Yuan dynasties onwards, there were cases where a man made his concubine his wife after the death or repudiation of his main wife, which required a heavy ceremony known as fuzheng (扶正). In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the distinction between the first wife and the concubine was no longer strict, and it became more common for concubines to be made into regular wives, as well as for men to buy and sell wives. Handmaiden The handmaiden, on the other hand, is a woman of inferior status to the man's wife, such as the handmaiden of the family or a bought courtesan. These women, because of their status, belonged to the untouchable class, and could not be the concubines of the scholars, but could only be the handmaiden or the favored concubine, which was similar to a mistress. There is a difference between a concubine and a maidservant, the status cannot be interchanged, and to use a maidservant as a concubine is also a violation of the law, only ...... >>

Question 2: What do you mean by concubine, what is the meaning of the first concubine Ordinary people (shùrén): a general reference to the common people without official title; people. The Zhou Dynasty ruling clan lived in the state (city) and the suburbs of the state, called the state people. The upper echelon of the state people were the ministers, the great physicians, and the scholars, and the lower echelon were the plebeians. Most of the commoners lived on the outskirts of the city, cultivated the land given to them by the nobles, and enjoyed the political and military rights given to them by the nobles. They enjoyed the political and military rights granted by the nobles, such as participating in the general assemblies of the people, taking part in military activities, and serving as foot soldiers (tú cù, infantry). But they also bore heavy obligations, such as military service and payment of military taxes. In addition, young plebeians were burdened with a certain amount of labor. The commoners also included laborers with free status and slaves who were exempted from personal dependence. "The surname of the three queens is now commoner." (Zuo Zhuan? Zhaogong 32") means that the descendants of the emperors of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties have become commoners today.
