Peerless Bastard Son

In ancient times, the son of a bastard was also a bastard. A concubine's son referred to the son born to a concubine's wife, namely the son born to a concubine, concubine, or mistress. The status of a concubine's son was lower than that of a legitimate son. Generally, he could not accept the sacrifices of the ancestral temple and inherit the status of his father and grandfather. Therefore, the son of a bastard was also considered a bastard.

The difference between a legitimate son and a bastard son was mainly reflected in the following aspects: different birth mothers, different status, different rights, and different inheritance rights. Di son referred to the child born to the emperor's wife, while Shu son referred to the child born to a concubine or aunt who was lower than the wife. The status of Di sons was higher than that of Shu sons. They had more and greater rights and almost enjoyed priority. In terms of inheritance, the legitimate son had the qualifications to inherit his father's title, fief, official position, and property, while the illegitimate son had no inheritance rights and could only rely on the legitimate son to survive. Therefore, the legitimate son had the unquestionable right of inheritance and the highest status in the family, while the illegitimate son had no right of inheritance. He could only make a name for himself through his own efforts. Generally speaking, Di sons and Shu sons had different fates and treatment in ancient families.
