Ancient aristocratic hierarchy: Asia

China

Main item: Chinese title

China has a long history, and its appellation changes with the change of dynasties. Generally speaking, there are five appellations: Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi and Gong. The title system is a part of the imperial system. 19 12 After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the title system was abolished by the established Republic of China.

Japan

Is it expensive? , is to create the aristocracy. Subsequently, the royal family was divided into four families, namely, Orange, Genji and Ping. Later, five photographers, seven Tsinghua, nine Tsinghua and other aristocratic families were developed. The local tycoons became celebrities. 1884, the Chinese system was implemented, and five titles were given to the old official, Daming and Meiji Restoration hero: Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi and Gong.

Ancient aristocratic hierarchy: Europe

European aristocrats

In Chinese, the aristocratic system in Britain and France is usually used as a reference, and the aristocratic system in the west is divided into five grades according to Chinese titles, in the following order:

Duke (duke)

Marquis (Marquis, Marquis outside England)

Earl (Earl, Earl outside England)

viscount

tycoon

There are also noble titles such as prince, archduke, prince, baron and knight.

The aristocratic system in western countries is similar to that in Britain, but there are also differences. For example, German titles are divided into 15, Polish titles are divided into four levels (excluding viscount), and Hungarian titles are divided into three levels (excluding marquis and viscount).

Britain

The feudal system and jazz system in Britain have a long historical background. Titles are divided into seven grades, which are divided into two parts: nobles and civilians. In addition to the British royal family, nobles are divided into five categories; Because the governors of the Zhou Dynasty in China were also divided into five classes, Chinese was directly translated into Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron. There are also two titles: baronet and knight, belonging to civilians, not nobles.
