Filosofía y Ética

Decision Points

• If service established the dynasty itself: highest rank (勋)
• If service was advisory but crucial: second tier (劳)
• If service was military action: third tier (功)
• If service was administrative: fourth tier (伐)
• If service was simply longevity: fifth tier (阅)

Expected Outcomes

• Fair and transparent title assignments
• Clear documentation of why titles were granted
• Basis for evaluating future hereditary claims

Validation

1. Confirm each title assignment is classified into one of the five tiers (勋劳功伐阅) with documented rationale
2. Verify that the oath recording includes the basis for the title, conditions for inheritance, and any limitations
3. Check that title rank and land grant size are proportional to the magnitude and type of service rendered
