Imperial Noble Consort
Imperial Noble Consort (Chinese: 皇貴妃, Vietnamese: hoàng quý phi, Korean: 황귀비) was the title of women who ranked second to the Empress in the imperial harem of China during most of the period spanning from 1457 to 1915.
In Ming Dynasty, the rank of Imperial Noble Consort was only a highest honorary title of an imperial consort.
On the contrast, in Qing Dynasty, the rank of Imperial Noble Consort was considered to be Vice-Empress, making the rank closer to the Empress, therefore, the Emperor was very careful in promoting one of his imperial consorts in this rank while the Empress was alive. If the Empress agrees to the promotion of an imperial consort to Imperial Noble Consort, it should be in the following causes:
In the Qing dynasty, a Manchu-led dynasty, the title of Imperial Noble Consort was the highest-ranking position that women of Han descent could achieve.
According to the Illustrated Regulations for Ceremonial Paraphernalia of the Present Dynasty (1766), Imperial Noble Consorts were one of the few positions of women allowed to wear attire featuring insignia of the Chinese dragon; the other positions being those of Empress Dowager, Empress, and Princesses. Women lower than Imperial Noble Consort were forbidden from wearing any clothing featuring dragon patterns.
