Mrs. Decree has great power, do you believe it?
In ancient times, women had a low status and depended on male relatives for survival, with little autonomy. Although their fates were similar, there was a clear distinction between social classes, and very few ancient women were able to receive court titles such as "Lady of the First Grade", becoming the leaders of that era.
Women are given the title by the imperial court, which not only gives women in feudal society a glimmer of glory, but also indicates that the old habit of "male superiority and inferiority of women" is about to be broken.
When people first see the title of "Mrs. Yipin", most people will be attracted by the word "Yipin" and mistakenly think that this is the same honorable title as the Yipin Minister.
However, this is not the case. Rather than being a symbol of power, they represent a special case of women in the feudal era, although in a male-dominated society, they have managed to break free from male bondage and discipline and become a new direction of development.
It turns out that the First Rank Lady is the highest-ranking Lady of the Commandment, because their husbands or sons are the first rank in the class to which they belong. So, how do you become a lady of the first order?
From the Tang Dynasty onwards, the emperor would give the title of "Lady of Command" to the mother or wife of those ministers who were deeply favored or had great achievements. And their rank depends on the official rank of their husband or son, if the husband or son is a first-rank official, then they can be named the first rank of the wife.
Ancient"Commandment", originated in the Zhou Dynasty, originally meant that the emperor rewarded the minister's documents, the Tang and Song dynasties gradually evolved into a gift for women, to the Qing Dynasty, the scope of the object of the gift was further expanded, and even some civilian women were given because of their chastity and martyrdom.
Therefore,"Commandment"It's not just the evolution of words, it's the embodiment of power and morality.
The Lady of the First Order: A Symbol of Female Status with Glory and Privilege The Lady of the First Rank Decree given by the emperor himself symbolizes noble status and supreme glory, but they have no actual political power and cannot participate in decision-making.
Despite this, the Lady of the First Rank still enjoys many privileges that other ranks of the Lady of the Decree and ordinary women do not have. They could enter the court, communicate with concubines, attend royal banquets, and get acquainted with princesses, princes, and other dignitaries.
These privileges not only give the Lady the opportunity to showcase her talents and style, but also a way for them to help build a network with their families. If they can get along well with the royal relatives, they can further consolidate the status of their husbands and sons.
In general, although the Lady of the First Rank is unable to participate in political decision-making, they are still able to influence the status and glory of the family to a certain extent through their special status and privileges.

Mrs. Yipin was born in the family of a first-class master, wearing jewelry, enjoying delicacies, and the protection of the imperial court, so she lived a worry-free life. In addition, their funeral specifications, clothing grades and etiquette codes are also higher than ordinary people's, reflecting the importance and respect of the ancients.
Historically, the funeral specifications of different levels of characters have different specifications, for example, the scene in the TV series where the emperor is buried with the specifications of the prince for the meritorious hero, which reflects the importance that the ancients attached to the funeral rites.
The high-profile funeral made Mrs. Yipin feel her noble social status. When their families are grieving, they will also feel honored because of this honor.
Normally, only royal ladies such as the Empress and the Empress Dowager were allowed to wear clothes with a phoenix pattern, while the Lady of the First Rank also had the right to wear a smaller phoenix patterned costume, which indicated their status and rank.
In addition, Mrs. Yipin's Decree can even avoid bowing and bowing when she sees **, because they are upper-class figures bestowed by the emperor himself. Here are a few well-known Mrs. Fate.
