Editing Posthumous name (section)

==== Members of the ruling family ====
According to the noble system since the [[Zhou dynasty]], the immediate family members of the emperor were given the titles like King, Prince, Duke, or Earl, with or without actual control over a region. After their death, they would be referred to by the same title, with the posthumous name (usually one character) inserted in the middle. The characters used are mainly those used for emperors. For example, [[Prince Gong]] of the Qing dynasty was posthumously named Zhong ({{Lang|zh|忠}}) and thus is referred to as Prince Gongzhong ({{Lang-zh|t=恭忠親王|labels=no|p=Gōngzhōng qīnwáng}}). [[Yixuan, Prince Chun|Prince Chun]] was posthumously named Xian ({{Lang|zh|賢}}), and is therefore referred to as Prince Chunxian ({{Lang-zh|t=醇賢親王|labels=no|p=Chúnxián qīnwáng}}).

The posthumous name could include more than one character. For example, [[Lekdehun|Prince Shuncheng Lekdehun]] was posthumously honoured as Prince Shuncheng Gonghui ({{Lang|zh|多罗顺承恭惠郡王}}). [[Yinxiang, Prince Yi]] was granted a posthumous name consisting of 9 characters, {{Lang|zh-latn-pinyin|Zhongjing chengzhi qinshen lianming xian}} ({{Lang|zh|忠敬诚直勤慎廉明贤}}).
