The Zhou Dynasty implemented the enfeoffment system, and the emperor was king. The titles of monarchs in different enfeoffment countries were different, but they all exceeded in the later period, such as Qi Huangong and Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, as earl; During the Warring States Period, after Shang Yang's political reform, the State of Qin abolished the royal title and established the system of 20 th rank title to reward contributions.
From the highest 20 to the lowest one, the order is: Che Hou, Guan Neihou, Da Shu Chang, Zhu Che Shu Chang, Da Shang Zao, Shao Shang Zao, You Geng, Zhong Geng, Zuo Geng, You Shu Chang, Wu Fu, Gong Cheng, Gong Fu, Guan Fu, Doctor, Bu Geng, Shang Zao, Male Scholar; Later generations did not implement the system of enfeoffment, but there was also a system of title management: the Qin and Han Dynasties changed to the twenty-grade system, the Three Kingdoms changed to the nine-grade system, and so on.

Cao Cao abolished the so-called knighthood of twenty products and knighthood of military commanders. In the early years of Huang Dynasty, the title system was divided into nine grades: Wang, Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi, Gong, County Hou, Township Hou and Guannei Hou. From baron to baron, there are titles and fiefs. There are no fiefs below the county level, but there are rents. In addition to Jiupin titles, Cao Cao also created titles such as Hou, Guan Zhonghou, Guan Waihou and Wufu Hou, which were reserved for knighthood, but they were still unopened and there was no food.
