The harem system of the Qing Dynasty stipulated that before the emperor's wedding, eight ladies-in-waiting older than the emperor were selected to enter the palace, that is, they dedicated themselves to the emperor. These eight ladies-in-waiting were all famous and were given the titles of four female officials in the palace: treasurer, treasurer, emcee and secretary.

The concubines system in the Qing Dynasty was determined by Emperor Kangxi, the second emperor in Beijing after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.
