February** Dynamic Incentive Program
The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history, and its social structure was strictly stratified, especially within the imperial family, where there was a complex and elaborate hierarchy. In the harem system of the Qing Dynasty, the side Fu Jin, the Shu Fu Jin and the concubine were three different levels of female identity, each with a unique status and responsibilities.
First of all, the side fujin refers to one of the emperor's wives, usually the empress's own sister or aunt. She was of higher status than the other concubines and was one of the main consorts of the emperor. Fang Fujin enjoyed a high status in the harem, and her status and honor were directly affected by the emperor's favor and favor. Fang Fujin usually had more opportunities to participate in political affairs, and her children were eligible to inherit the throne.
Secondly, Shu Fujin refers to a wife other than the emperor's wife, whose status is inferior to that of the side Fujin but higher than that of ordinary concubines. Shu Fujin is usually the woman selected by the emperor through the harem draft, although she is not the emperor's wife, but she also enjoys a certain honorable status. Shu Fujin was in charge of managing affairs in the harem, taking care of other concubines, and possibly giving birth to a prince.
Finally, concubines are women with the lowest status among concubines, who are not the emperor's wife or concubines, and their status is more auxiliary. Concubines were usually held by women from the harem, and their main task was to serve the emperor and meet the emperor's life and sexual needs. Concubines were of a more humble status and were usually not involved in political affairs, but focused on the meticulous management of their personal lives.
In general, the side Fu Jin, Shu Fu Jin, and concubines each represented different female identities and statuses in the Qing Dynasty harem, and their lives and duties were different due to their hierarchical differences within the imperial family. While maintaining the stability and rule of feudal society, this system also reflected the extremes of feudal society at that time and the strict regulations on women.
