Gege, is a kind of title for the daughter of the Manchurian nobility, in the post-Jin Dynasty, the monarch and the daughter of Belle are called Gege, for example, the eldest daughter of Nurhaci is Dongguo Gege, the Emperor Taiji is called the Empress, imitating the Ming system, the emperor's daughter is renamed a princess, but only the daughter of the emperor who is about to marry can get the princess title, and before marriage is still called Gege, today the author wants to say that gege refers to the daughter of the emperor, and the longest-lived one, that is, the seventh daughter of Nurhaci.
Nurhaci had a total of eight daughters, and this seventh girl was in 1604, when Nurhaci was gradually developing and growing, encroaching on the four Jurchen departments of Haixi, and there was a great potential to unify the Jurchen departments.
The seventh daughter's mother was Nurhaci Concubine Ilgen Jue Luoshi, Ilgen Jue Luoshi was nurhaci's tenth Fujin, the historical records do not record the family lineage of Ilgen Jue Luoshi, but from her status in nurhaci's harem (concubine), this woman's origin may be relatively low, most likely Nurhaci's booty.
When the seventh daughter was 16 years old, her father Nurhaci led the Eight Banners Army to defeat the Ming army at Salhu, completely reversing the disadvantage against the Ming Dynasty, and from then on, Hou Jin began to take an offensive against the Ming army. It was also in this year that the seventh daughter was given the title of Township Prince by her father and married to Otoi, the knight of the Nara clan.
During the Qing Dynasty, the daughter of the prince Feng he ShuoGege, called the county lord, the daughter of the county king Feng Duo Luoge, called the county lord, the daughter of Belle Feng Duo Luo Ge, called the county jun, the daughter of Bei Zi Feng Gu Shan Ge Ge, called the county jun, the daughter of the zhenguo gong, the daughter of the fuguo duke Feng Gege, called the township jun.
Why did nurhaci's seventh daughter receive only an embarrassing title of a country prince, and she did not marry the daughter of a Mongol prince or minister with status, but only a small knight lieutenant? In my opinion, there may be two reasons:
First, at that time, in the Guanwai period, the title system of the daughter of the nobleman was not perfect, and it was normal for the seventh daughter to receive a title of a township prince.
Second, the seventh daughter's mother, Ilgen Jueluoshi, did not have a strong family background and had a very low status in the Nurhaci harem, so her daughter was given a title of a village prince.
According to historical records, in the year when the seventh daughter was 38 years old, that is, in the sixth year of Chongde (1641), her husband Otoi was killed on the battlefield, after which the seventh daughter was not able to remarry, but this seventh daughter was a long-lived woman, she lived through the five dynasties of Mandate of Heaven, Tiancong, Chongde, Shunzhi and Kangxi, and lived until the twenty-fourth year of Kangxi, at the age of 82, which was higher than any princess in the Qing Dynasty.
Postscript: Some readers may ask, if we only talk about the imperial daughter who has obtained the title of princess, which one is the longest-lived? He is Princess Heshuo Shushen.
Princess Heshuo Shushen was the sixth daughter of the Kangxi deposed prince Yinrong, born to the Tang clan of Fujin, who was raised in the palace in the early years of Yongzheng, this princess was born in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, when her father Yinrong was first deposed, yongzheng succeeded to the throne, and married Guanyin Bao of the Mongolian Horqin Department with the title of Princess Heshuo, who lived until the forty-ninth year of Qianlong at the age of 77, the longest-lived princess of the Qing Dynasty.
