Nine Courts information


Nine Courts
Chinese九寺

The Nine Courts were nine service agencies in Imperial China that existed from the Northern Qi dynasty (550–577) to the Qing dynasty (1644–1912). Headed by the Nine Chamberlains, the offices were subordinate to the Three Departments and Six Ministries. They were mostly ceremonial in nature and held a fair amount of power. During the Ming dynasty, the heads of the nine court transitioned away from referring to the nine courts, but to the Six Ministries, the Censorate, the Office of Transmission, and the Grand Court of Revision. The number of courts was not always nine throughout history.

The nine courts throughout most of history were:

The Nine Courts and Ministers

Court of Imperial Sacrifices (太常寺) Minister of Ceremonies (太常)
Court of Imperial Entertainments (光祿寺) Minister of the Household (光祿勳)
Court of the Imperial Clan (宗正寺 or 宗人府) Minister of the Imperial Clan (宗正)
Court of the Imperial Stud (太僕寺) Minister Coachman (太僕)
