What is the meaning of women in ancient China?

In traditional Chinese parlance, woman generally also refers to a married woman. Woman is a generic term for an adult woman. It does not simply refer to married women, but also young women who have reached the age of 18 can be called women, girls under 18, young girls under 14, and children under 7. There is no legal provision for this, and it can be said that all women are legally recognized as "women".
