In ancient times, was a dowry maid equivalent to a concubine?

In ancient times, a maid was not considered a concubine.

In the old days, it referred to a maid who was nominally a maidservant, that is, a person who married into the man's house with the hostess, but was actually a concubine.

Tongfang maid, from the word "Tongfang" can be seen that it is the highest status of the maid, because it is convenient to serve the master at night, so her bedroom is connected with the master's bedroom. The maid (in his youth) is the easiest to glimpse the joy of the boudoir, so he is easy to be precocious, and has the advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first. In the ancient Chinese marriage system, the status of a maid was lower than that of a concubine.

Only a maid who has gone through the formalities can be called a concubine. The maid in the room is almost the same as the concubine in terms of sexuality, but the status is not as good as the concubine, but it is higher than the average girl.

In the classical masterpiece "Dream of Red Mansions", there are many maids in the house, Ping'er is the maid in Jia Lian's house, and the raider can also be regarded as the maid in the Baoyu house. Another example is that Chunmei in "Golden Vase Plum" is actually the maid in Pan Jinlian's house.
