What do modern people mean by being called childe?

Modern people's understanding of "childe" is biased. For example, words such as "playboy" add a derogatory color to "childe".

In ancient times, "childe" was a title for a prestigious person, such as childe Xiaobai, or a tribute to the children of dignitaries. If it is put into modern times, it is either following the ancient times, it is the title of the rich second generation, or it is ironic, alluding to this person who is playful and idle.

The word "childe" was not allowed to be called in ancient times.

After all, in the beginning, "childe" was the name of the children of princes, and princes were mostly powerful. If the children of ordinary people are also called "sons", it is disrespectful to the princes and is likely to lead to great disaster.

In the pre-Qin period, the son of a warlord was called a childe, and his daughter was also called a microscope. If we look at the explanation of "childe" in historical records, the word "childe" should have disappeared after the Qin Dynasty.

Because after the Qin Dynasty, the supreme ruler of mankind was no longer called "Gong" but "Emperor". Therefore, according to the source of "childe", the son of the emperor should be called "Prince".

However, unlike imagination, the word "childe" has not been abandoned by people. Later, the wise ancients began to give the word "childe" a new meaning. Since the Han Dynasty, the word "childe" has a new definition, and it has been used to describe the children of powerful people who come from famous families. Even later, I used "childe" to address other people's sons.
