The origin of my aunt

? The word "aunt" means "wife, wife" in one sense and refers to married women in another sense. Folk proverb in northern Shaanxi: aunt is in charge of Han, full of gold and silver; Mizhi's mother-in-law Suide's Han, Qingjian's slate Wayaobao's charcoal; Good food costs money, Aunt Han Fei.

According to scholars' research, the word "mother-in-law" originated from Buddhism. Buddhism calls female laymen "excellent women". Tang Dynasty's "Dunhuang Bianwen King Kong Prajna Paramita Sutra": "Anyone who is a' gifted woman' is close to a Buddhist man. Those who are' excellent women' are close to Buddha women. " When Buddhism was at its peak, everyone believed in Buddhism, and every woman was a layman. Many people's wives can be called "excellent women", and women other than wives are also "excellent women", and later they are slightly "women".

? Because the word "Poyi" has less and less religious significance to women, a female character named "Poyi" appears in the text. Later, the Tang Dynasty called the old woman "wife" and the Song Dynasty called the wife "wife", all of which evolved from "excellent wife". Now the whole world is called "wife, wife, madam", and the word "aunt" still exists in the Loess Plateau.
