There were three princes (Taishi, Taifu and Taibao) and three orphans (Shao Shi, Shaofu and Shaobao) in the central part of the Ming Dynasty. They were assistant officials of the emperor. Their position is very high, there is no quota, and there is no special responsibility. This is actually a virtual title. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, officials were promoted or appointed (life was promoted and death was appointed). The preface of the List of Public Orphans introduces its historical evolution in detail. The list of public orphans is only the list of public orphans in the Ming Dynasty.
The three fairs in ancient times have been a generation of classics since the Duke of Zhou. And it's called a surname, a teacher, a Taibao, Sangong, and a Xiaofu, a Xiaobao and three orphans. Some people also say that being an official doesn't have to be immune to it, but to sit and talk about it. Its body is sincere, but it is not easy to choose honesty. Han inherited the Qin system and set up a prime minister, a doctor and even nine ministers, but stopped the three fairs and stopped setting them up. From the beginning of Han An's accession to the throne, he took himself as a teacher and worshipped Kong Guang, the prime minister, as a teacher, which was only in name only. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, only one Taifu was released, ranking in the third place, and his rank was raised. When he went to Dong Zhuo to steal the government, he worshipped a surname from his own country, ranking first among princes and became a leader several times. Jin Wei was taboo and changed his surname to Taizai, but he was still under the prime minister, and the generals, Fu, Qiu, Situ and Shang. After Jiang Zuo, since Wang Dao and Xie An, people who are not prominent in the imperial clan are not as good as them.
In the season of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Taishi and the Prime Minister were added together to wait for the minister of the country. Because of this, Northern Qi established Taishi and Taizai together. When Taishi moved to Taizai, he was moved to be the prime minister, but it was abolished. Yu Wentai began to imitate Zhou Guan in governing the country. He was an official of Taishi Museum and the handle of the five senses. And Yuwen Hu, because of this, although its things are beautiful and its heart is full of sadness, it wants to win three generations. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it has generally been regarded as three divisions by the Tai Shi Tai Bao, which is called Shanggong; There are also Qiu, Stuart and three people. Because of this, the Song family was put together from time to time, but the so-called three divisions had little to do with it.
