| The court rank system was originally designed for the purpose of avoiding the hereditary transfer of an official post, setting the court rank based on ability and giving the appropriate official post for the court rank and level of ability. |
本来は能力によって位階を位置付け、その位階と能力に見合った官職に就けることで、官職の世襲を妨げることを大きな目的とした。 |
