Because most of these women in the Eight Banners of Qing Dynasty want to enter the palace and become the concubines or even queens of the monarch, it is not appropriate in etiquette if they bow down to their elders before marriage, which is equivalent to the concubines or queens of the monarch saluting them.

The Qing Dynasty was established after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. In order to ensure the purity of blood, the Qing Dynasty also formulated a system for selecting women: all women of the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty aged 13- 16 must register their information in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Household Affairs must report the registered information of the Eight Banners to the monarch, and then the Ministry of Ritual will make relevant selection, and the final list will be decided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This draft is held every three years, and Han women are not allowed to participate. Moreover, these eight banners women are not allowed to marry for life. If they are found married for life, they will be punished.

Some of these eventually selected nuns will become concubines of monarchs, and some nuns with good family background and good conduct will become queens. There are also some beautiful women who can't be concubines. Those who look good will be assigned to princes, county kings, princes, grandchildren and other people with higher status. Therefore, once you choose a female study, you may stand out in your position.

Perhaps it is for this reason that women in the Eight Banners can't bow down to their elders before marriage. After all, the monarch was revered in ancient times. As the future concubine of the monarch, it is impossible for the queen to salute the courtiers at will. Because in this case, it is equivalent to indirectly equating the status of elders with that of today's monarch, so these women can't bow down, not even their elders and relatives.
