Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period
During these times, governments were replaced frequently, and as a result, it is difficult for modern scholars to get any solid information on ranking systems during these times.
However, it is known that the Later Tangs uses the following system:
- Zhaorong (昭容)
- Zhaoyi (昭儀)
- Zhaoyuan (昭媛)
- Chushi (出使)
- Yuzheng (御正)
- Shizhen (侍真)
- Yicai (懿才)
- Xianyi (咸一)
- Yaofang (瑤芳)
- Yiteh (懿德)
- Xuanyi (宣一)
Whether there were any limits to the holders of these titles are unknown.

“Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
