Ming Dynasty official rank table and function

In the Ming Dynasty, the official positions were divided from the first to the ninth grades: the first grade, the second grade, the second grade, the third grade, the third grade, the fourth grade, the fourth grade, and the fifth grade.

The official ranking system of the Ming Dynasty was divided according to the official's rank, which was divided into nine grades and eighteen grades. The ninth grade system was based on the ranking of officials. The first grade was the highest and the ninth grade was the lowest. Level 18 was the actual salary level of an official, corresponding to the ninth level. The promotion and treatment of officials were based on this hierarchy. The official ranks of the Ming Dynasty included three dukes, three orphans, governor, prefect, and governor. The three dukes and three orphans were the official titles given by the emperor to the ministers, and they had no actual jurisdiction. The governor was a local chief executive, equivalent to the current provincial chief executive. His rank was the second grade or the second grade. The prefect was the chief executive of a region, equivalent to the current chief executive of a prefecture-level city. His rank was the fourth grade or the fourth grade. A Zhizhou was a local chief executive, equivalent to the current chief executive of a county-level city. Its rank was either the sixth grade or the sixth grade. The promotion and treatment of officials in the Ming Dynasty also needed to go through recommendation and selection. The recommendation was recommended by higher-ups or other people with power to promote officials. The selection was based on the performance and ability of officials to select officials for promotion. Officials of different ranks and levels had different responsibilities and powers. First-rank officials were high-ranking officials in the imperial court and had important decision-making power and leadership abilities. Second-rank and third-rank officials were middle-ranking officials in the imperial court and were responsible for specific government affairs and administrative management. Fourth-rank to sixth-rank officials were low-ranking officials in the imperial court and were responsible for grassroots administrative management and social stability. Seventh-rank to ninth-rank officials were grassroots workers in the imperial court and were responsible for grassroots administrative management and social services.

The third-grade officials of the Ming Dynasty were not considered high officials. According to the information provided, the official positions of the Ming Dynasty were divided into nine grades. The first grade was the highest level of official positions. Grand Preceptor, Grand Tutor, Grand Protector, and so on were all in the first grade. As for the third rank officials, they were middle-rank officials, including the Crown Prince's Junior Teacher, Junior Fu, Junior Guardian, and the six ministers. Although the third-grade officials already had a certain amount of power, in the Ming Dynasty's hierarchy, they were not the highest-ranking officials. Therefore, it could be said that the third-grade officials of the Ming Dynasty were not considered high officials.

In the Ming Dynasty, the three official positions included General Zhao Yong and General Zhao Yi.

In the Ming Dynasty, the ranks and titles of nobility were divided into two systems: the imperial clan and the relatives of meritorious officials. The ranks of the imperial clan were Prince, King, Defending General, Supporting General, Fengguo General, Defending Lieutenant, Supporting Lieutenant, Fengguo Lieutenant, and so on. The order of titles for the imperial daughters was Eldest Princess, Eldest Princess, County Lord, County Lord, and County Lord. The ranks of the relatives of meritorious officials were duke, marquis, uncle, and son-in-law. Duke was the highest rank. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a system of titles of nobility in the early Ming Dynasty, but it was later abolished. There were only titles and food. The title of nobility was given by the emperor's edict, and the certificate was given to show the identity and rank. The certificate decided whether it was hereditary. The ranks and titles of nobility in the Ming Dynasty reflected the recognition of meritorious officials and contributions by the emperor and the court, and also encouraged people to make greater contributions to the country and the nation.

In the Ming Dynasty, the ranks of nobility were divided into the following levels: Prince, King, Defender General, Assistant General, Fengguo General, Defender Lieutenant, Assistant Lieutenant, and Fengguo Lieutenant. A prince was the emperor's son. Other than those who inherited the throne, the rest were basically princes. A Regional King was the son of a Prince. Other than those who inherited the title of Prince, the rest were basically all Regional Kings. The Defender General was the son of the Regional King. Other than those who inherited the title of Regional King, the rest were basically Defender Generals. And so on, after passing it down to the Fuguo First Lieutenant, all future generations would be Fengguo First Lieutenant. Different titles would lead to different income. A prince would receive 10,000 dan every year, a county king would only receive 2,000 dan, and a general would receive 1,000 dan. The worst of them, the first lieutenant of Fengguo, still had 200 stones.

In the Ming Dynasty, the salary of a third-grade official was thirty-five stone meters per month.

In the Ming Dynasty, the ranking of official positions was determined according to their grades. There were a total of 18 grades, from the first grade to the ninth grade. Among them, the three princes (Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor, Grand Protector) and the three orphans (Junior Tutor, Junior Tutor, Junior Protector) were the highest official positions in the Ming Dynasty. Three public is a product, three orphans are from a product. The Crown Prince's three teachers were of Secondary Rank One, and the Crown Prince's three orphans were of Primary Rank Two. In addition, the ministers of the six ministries (Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Works) were also important positions. The Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of War, the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Works were the highest officials of the six departments. However, the search results provided did not have a clear illustration or a detailed ranking of official positions. Therefore, the exact ranking of the Ming Dynasty's official ranks could not be determined at present.
