Introduction of age designation:

Age designation is an ancient name for age, and the age of the ancients was sometimes not expressed in numbers, but in other designations. Most of the age designations were recorded in books, and then used to this day.

A tuft of hair is a child between the ages of three or four and eight or nine (tufts of hair, the short hair hanging down from a child's head in ancient times). The total horn is a young man between the ages of eight or nine and thirteen or fourteen (in ancient times, children divided their hair into left and right halves and tied them into a knot at the top of their head, which was shaped like two ram's horns, hence the name "total horn").
