What is the order of the four ancient brothers from big to small?

The order of the four ancient brothers from big to small is Bo, Zhong, Shu and Ji, with Bo ranking the oldest, Zhong ranking the second, Uncle ranking the third and Ji ranking the smallest. From Zuo Qiuming's Twenty-six Years of Zuo Zhao Zhuan Gong in the Pre-Qin Dynasty: "Only the season of Uncle Zhong Bo." This means that the seniority order is divided like this.

"Bo", "Zhong", "Shu" and "Ji" were often used in ancient times to express people's respect. Sun Jian has four sons, the eldest son Sun Ce is an uncle, the second son Sun Quan is Zhong Mou, the third son Sun Yi is an uncle, and the fourth son is Ji Zuo. This is the representative word chosen by Uncle Zhong Ji. The ranking of "Uncle Season" is suitable for families with four brothers or less; But in ancient times, there were many family brothers with more than four people. After the fourth child, they are all called "some uncle" or "uncle".

In ancient China, the system of rites and music was strict, and there were strict requirements for patriarchal etiquette and respect for the elderly. Appellation can reflect rank, status, reputation, etc.

China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. In the long history, it has formed its own unique address system.
