Lists of Qing dynasty princes consorts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Qing dynasty developed a complicated system of ranks and titles. Princess's consort was granted a title of efu (Manchu:ᡝᡶᡠ; Chinese: 额驸; 額駙; éfù), meaning "imperial charioter". However, the title was not granted to the spouses of clanswoman (untitled princesses or daughters of low-ranking clansmen). An efu retained his title and privileges as long as the princess remained his primary spouse – even after her death. However, if an efu remarried or promoted another consort to be his primary spouse, he lost all rights obtained from his marriage to the princess.
The following alphabetical lists contains the efus recorded in the imperial genealogy. However, not all efus are mentioned because daughters of princes not adopted into the palace were not recorded in genealogy of the Aisin Gioro clan.
| Title | Translation | Title equivalent | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gurun efu | Prince Consort of the First Rank | Prince of the Fourth Rank | Above the rank |
| Heshuo efu[1] | Prince Consort of the Second Rank | Imperial duke | |
| Prince Consort of the Third Rank | Defender General | 1 | |
| Duoluo efu[2] | Prince Consort of the Fourth Rank | Bulwark General | 2 |
| Prince consort of the Fifth Rank | Supporter General | 3 | |
| Gushan efu | Prince Consort of the Sixth Rank | Grace General | 4 |
| Xiangjun efu | Prince Consort of the Seventh Rank | 5 |
