For example, parents are called Gao Tang, Chun Xuan and parents; Call other people's parents your parents; Call other people's brothers and sisters your brothers and sisters; Call other people's children your son, your daughter; Claiming that my parents and brothers and sisters are my father, strict family, kind family, brothers and sisters; Call someone else's yard your home and respect your home; Call yourself a humble abode, shed and thatched cottage. Wife and father, commonly known as husbands, are as elegant as father-in-law and Mount Tai. Brother is Kun Zhong, Tang Di, brother. Husband and wife are beautiful, and spouses are partners. A woman is a woman; Men are men. Old teachers are teachers, masters and mentors; Students are students, and students are also students. The school is a cold window; Classmates are classmates again. After the death of parents, add the word "first" to the address. When the father dies, he is called my late father, and he is strict and takes the test first; Mother's death is called first mother, first kindness, first *; Add the word "death" after the death of peers, such as deceased wives, brothers and sisters. Husband and wife are widowed when they die, and wives are widowed when their husbands die. After his wife died, she called her husband a widow. The ancients had different names for different ages. For example, the total angle: children, hair tied into a bun. "Book of Rites Neize" "Fuji, the general angle." Zheng Xuan's note: "Total angle, send and receive." Later, children's childhood was called "the general perspective". Tao Qian's preface to Murong: "When you hear this word from the general perspective, if you are white, you will not achieve anything." The "white head" here is called old age. Hanging a bun: also refers to a child's childhood. In ancient times, when children were minors, they didn't wear hats and their hair drooped, so "hanging bun" was called children's childhood. Tao Qian's Peach Blossom Garden: "I am happy when the yellow hair hangs down." The yellow hair here is also called old age. Bundle of hair: Ancient men wore their hair in a bun on their heads in childhood, and later called it childhood. Dai Fu Bao: "Let's go to college, learn great arts and complete the festival." Gui Youguang's Selected Records of Ji Xiang: "I am reading." Adult children: In ancient times, men were called "adult children" when they reached the age of fifteen. Inside Li Xin: "Become a child, dance like an elephant, and learn to shoot." Zheng Xuan's Note: "Adults and children are over 15 years old." "Biography of Gu Li in the Later Han Dynasty": "Gu disciple, Runan Guo Liang, became a child at the age of 18 and studied in Luoyang." Li Xian's Note: "An adult child is fifteen years old." There is also "The Biography of Gu Liang Zhao Gong in Nineteen Years": "If the son does not have the Lord, the father will be guilty." Fan Ning's Note: "Adults and children are over eight years old." It can be seen that there are different opinions about how old to be an adult. Harmony: the fifteenth day of the ancient women's year was called "Harmony Year", also called "Harmony Year". It's a hairpin. It's the age at which you can insert a hairpin. Yi Li in the Soul: "Women are allowed to marry, but this is a word." The Book of Rites: "A woman promises to marry, ... ten years and five years." It also points out the age of marriage. "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio Rouge": "Dongchang Bian Shi, Doctor Niu, has a daughter, small print Rouge ... so he can't find the word." Broken melon: In the old days, the literati took the word "melon" apart and made it into two characters. 16 years old was called "broken melon", which was mostly used for women in poetry. Because eight times eight is sixty-four, and sixty-four is also called "broken melon". Yan Lu wrote a poem for Zhang: "Attack in the year of breaking melons." Weak crown: Ancient men were crowned at the age of 20. Therefore, the Lord calls 20 years old a "weak crown". Weakness means youth, and a crown means wearing an adult hat and holding a big gift. Zuo Si's poem "Ode to Friends" said: "A weak crown makes a soft one, and an old man looks at a group of books." There is a saying in The Analects of Confucius: "Confucius said,' At ten, I am determined to learn five; at thirty, I stand; at forty, I am not confused; at fifty, I know my destiny; at sixty, I follow my ears; at seventy, I follow my wishes; I do not overstep my bounds'". Later, he was called 30 years old by Foothold, and Strange Stories from a Lonely Studio, Monk Changqing said, "Friends may go to their hometown. Taking "No doubt" as 40 years old, I responded to "Answering Han Wenxian's letter": "I was not confused when I was young"; Taking "know life" as the pronoun of 50 years old, Pan Yue wrote in "Preface to Living Idlely": "Being weak in the crown is related to the year of know life, and eight disciples have joined the ranks. "With" Ershun "as the 60-year-old representative, Geng Xin wrote" Nanming of Aunt Li's Tomb ":"My wife has passed the age of Ershun, and her voice and image remain forever. " The ancients also called 50 years old "Ai" and 60 years old "Mao". "Book of Rites Quli": "Fifty is Ai, ... sixty is Mao ..." It can also refer to old age. Xunzi Shi Zhi: "Xin Ai can be a teacher. "Gu Xi: Du Fu's Qujiang poem:" Wine debts are common, and life is seventy years old. "Later, I took Gu Xi as my 70-year-old agent. Yi: "Poetry Qin Neighbourhood": "The dead are gone. "Mao Chuan:" I am old. Eighty years old. "Zuo Zhuan Xi Gong Jiu Nian": "Treat the old with your uncle, and you will get the first class, and you will have nothing to worship. Du Pre-note: "Eighty days." Mao: On the Book of Rites Quli: Eighty or ninety is Mao. Huan Kuan's "On Salt and Iron and Filial Piety" is also called "80 points". Qi: Li Xinqu Li Shang: "One hundred years is a long time." . Zheng Xuan's note: "The period is still there; Hey, lift it up. Kong Xidan explained: "The diet, shelter and activities of a centenarian are all necessary conditions for raising. Later, I used "Yi" to represent centenarians. Su Shi's "Two Rhymes and Three Trilogy": "You might as well build it everywhere, and you can count on it in a few years. There is also the saying of "Ding Nian", which generally refers to the mature year, that is, the prime of life. The poem "Su Wu Temple" says: "Looking back at the balcony doesn't count, so I'll keep my hat and sword for my youth. "However, different dynasties have different regulations, such as the lazy dynasty's 20-year-old and the Tang Xuanzong Tianbao's 23-year-old. Your Highness's first step "Your Majesty", "Your Highness", "Your Excellency" and "Your First Step" are all honorifics in ancient times. " "Your Majesty" refers to the steps of the palace. "Your majesty reflected the waiter standing at the foot of the steps. Courtiers speak to the son of heaven and dare not call him by his first name. They must call the waiter at the bottom of the steps to tell them first. Later, "Your Majesty" became a tribute to the emperor. " Your Highness "and" Your Majesty "are the same meaning. It was originally a tribute to the son of heaven, but the appellation object changed with the development of history. After the Han dynasty, it evolved into a tribute to the prince and the prince. After the Tang Dynasty, only the Crown Prince, Empress and Empress Dowager can be called "Your Highness." Your Excellency "is an ancient respect for others. Often used in letters. At first, because it is not convenient for relatives and peers to call each other by their first names, they often call attendants to tell them first, and call them "Your Excellency", which gradually evolved into honorifics for relatives and friends. In ancient times, the word "first step" was used as a title or as a peer. For example, "Historical Records of Xiang Yu":' Sean entered Xie Yue:' ... I would like to ask you to present a pair of white walls and then worship the king's feet; Fight a pair of jade and then worship the general. ""These honorifics are still often used in foreign exchanges (letters, speeches at banquets). Mr. Miss "Mr.": It first appeared in the Analects of Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period. For politics: "There is wine and food" Mr. Note: "Mr. refers to father and brother. "In the Warring States period," Mr. "generally refers to a virtuous and learned elder. For the first time in history, "Mr." was used to address teachers, which only appeared in Quli. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, Taoist priests, doctors, fortune tellers, drug sellers and fortune tellers have all been called Mr. ... From the Qing Dynasty, the title of Mr. began to fade in people's minds, and it was not until the Revolution of 1911 that the title of Mr. was widely circulated. " Miss ":The truest names are maids, concubines, artists and so on with lower status. In the Yuan Dynasty, "Miss" gradually rose to the title of unmarried woman among nobles. For example, "The West Chamber" only gave birth to a young lady, the word Yingying. "In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the word' Miss' finally developed into a respectful name for aristocratic unmarried women and gradually spread to the people." Lady ":First seen in The Book of Songs, Elegant and Drunk: Lady Lear. "The' lady' here refers to a virtuous woman. Just like the later' daughter', it is a respectful name for women and unmarried women. Various titles of wives: Xiaojun and Xijun: the first title is the wife of the vassal, and later it is the general name of the wife. Wife: In the past, husbands used to address their wives to others, which was rooted in the old concept of being outside the man and inside the woman. Roommate: Most of them are addresses for other people's wives. Humble Jing Yu: Originated from "Chai Jing Cloth Skirt", it originally refers to the clothes of Meng Guang, the wife of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later generations regard it as a modest title for his wife. Torture room, Jing's wife: It means modesty and poverty. Hair salon: original wife. Second wife, second wife: Because the ancients often compared the relationship between husband and wife with harps, they called the death of their wives "second wife". Concubine, concubine, little wife, Xiaoxing, such as wife, such as wife, wing room, wing room, auxiliary room are all little wives.
