Editing Prince (section)

===China===
Before [[Qin dynasty]], prince (in the sense of royal family member) had no special title. Princes of the [[Zhou dynasty]] were specifically referred to as ''Wangzi'' (王子) and ''Wangsun'' (王孫), which mean "son of the king" and "grandson of the king," while princes of the [[List of Zhou dynasty states|vassal states]] were referred to as ''Gongzi'' (公子) and ''[[Gongsun]]'' (公孫), which mean "son of the lord" and "grandson of the lord," respectively. Sons of the vassals may receive nobility titles like Jun (君), Qing (卿), Daifu (大夫) and Shi (仕).

Since [[Han dynasty]], royal family members were entitled ''Wang'' ({{lang|ch|王}}, lit. King), the former highest title which was then replaced by ''Huang Di'' ({{lang|ch|皇帝}}, lit. Emperor). Since [[Western Jin]], the ''Wang'' rank was divided into two ranks, ''Qin Wang'' ({{lang|ch|親王}}, lit. King of the Blood) and ''Jun Wang'' ({{lang|ch|郡王}}, lit. King of the Commandery). Only family of the Emperor can be entitled ''Qin Wang'', so prince is usually translated as ''Qin Wang'', e.g. 菲利普親王 (Prince Philip). For the son of the ruler, prince is usually translated as ''Huang Zi'' ({{lang|ch|皇子}}, lit. Son of the Emperor) or ''Wang Zi'' ({{lang|ch|王子}} lit., Son of the King), e.g. 查爾斯王子 (Prince Charles).

As a title of nobility, prince can be translated as ''Qin Wang'' according to tradition, ''Da Gong'' (大公, lit., Grand Duke) if one want to emphasize that it is a very high rank but below the King (''Wang''), or just ''Zhu Hou'' ({{lang|ch|诸侯}}, lit. princes) which refers to princes of all ranks in general. For example, 摩納哥親王 (Prince of Monaco).
