Since the pre-Qin period, there has been a system that the monarch conferred the title of earl, and the earl was the third of the five products in the ancient feudal system of our country. "Book of Rites": "The king's system is Lu Jue, male and female, all five grades". Among the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty, the earl states were Wu, Qin, Cao, Zheng, Liang, Qi, Bi, Huo, Yun and Yan.

The 20-rank system used in Qin and Han Dynasties was uncounted. The county was set up in the Tang Dynasty, and Song and Ming had plans. In the Qing dynasty, there were counts, which were divided into three classes.
