On the changes of appellations of elders, peers and younger generations.

The country I live in has a vast territory, vast territory and abundant resources, a long culture and various customs, but it is different in the names of relatives.

I just want to talk about the changes of the appellation of elders, peers and younger generations in a county where I live at the junction of Sulu, Henan and Anhui.

According to my careful textual research and personal experience, the names of these three generations were unchanged before 1950. It changed slowly after 1950.

Say the parents' address first. Before 1950, my father was called "Ye" in most places, no matter in towns or villages, and the popular name was "My Ye". In a few places, the father is called "A" (Da, the sound between the second and third sounds, is only used to get this pronunciation, and there seems to be no such word in written language, the same below), and the spoken language is called "A”(da". There are still a few places that call their father "Da" (Da, read the second sound, it seems that there is no such word in written language), and the spoken language is "Anda". Mothers are called "Niang" in a unified way.

From 1950 to the early 1990s, parents' addresses gradually changed. One of the parents has a business meal, and some no longer call their father "grandpa" but "dad" and "my dad" in spoken English; Some no longer call their mothers "Niang", but "Mom" and "My Mom" in spoken language; Some people call their father "Ye" and their mother "Ma". Some people call their father "father" and their mother "mother". If both parents don't eat official meals, they will continue to use their previous names.

Since the mid-1990s, the number of people going to work and doing business in cities has exploded year by year. Calling fathers "ye" and mothers "Niang" is decreasing year by year. At the same time, the number of people calling their fathers "Dad" and their mothers "Mom" is increasing year by year.

Then say the names of grandparents and grandparents. This change, later than the change of parents' address, began after 2000. In the past, grandpa was called "Lao" and grandma was called "Nai", and the spoken language was called "Elderly" or "Annai" respectively. Call my grandfather "the old man outside" and my grandmother "Lang Nian San Niang"; After that, the number of people calling grandpa "grandpa" and grandma "grandma" gradually increased. Address grandpa and grandma as "grandpa", "grandma" or "grandpa" and "grandma" gradually increased; Of course, some people call their grandparents "grandpa" and "grandma". In this title, it is in line with the world-English words, grandpa and grandpa are the same vocabulary: grandpa, grandma and grandma are the same vocabulary: Granma.

To sum up, the changes in the appellation of parents, grandparents and grandmothers not only reflect the narrowing of urban-rural differences, but also highlight the aggravation of inferiority complex. It is estimated that this strange change is not found in other countries.

Besides, peers. The names of lineal relatives, whether before 1950 or after 1950, have not changed until now. Brother should be called "elder brother", sister should be called "elder sister", brother should be called "younger brother" and sister should be called "younger sister". However, the names of "sister-in-law" and "brother-in-law" have changed. In most families, those who should be called "sister-in-law" are called "elder sister" and those who should be called "brother-in-law" are called "elder brother". Is it more intimate to call it that? Don't look angry? Not really. In the same county, there are many people who regard "sister-in-law" as their family and "sister" as their relatives. It is an indisputable fact that "brother-in-law" is called "brother-in-law", but when he is a brother-in-law, he dare not joke with his sister-in-law.

Besides, the younger generation. For boys, calling them "sons" has never changed. The girl's address, but followed the written language. In the past, girls were called "girls", but after the 1990s, the number of people called "girls" gradually decreased, and the written language was changed to "daughters". I want to know what the change is.

Finally, talk about the change of address between husband and wife. When I first entered, I specially wrote this content. Let me say a few more words here.

I will focus on the word "husband". Husband, a name teased, disrespected or even despised by gang members, was copied by mainlanders without thinking or discriminating, and even blew all over Kyushu like a gale, causing endless harm and making generations of gang members laugh their heads off! It's really not as authentic as "my husband", "my man" or even "the father of the child" rather than "the long and short husband". At worst, call me "my husband" gracefully instead of "my husband"! Obviously, this man is your real husband. How can he be a "eunuch" in the palace? In the palace, eunuchs with high rank are called "grandfather"? Do you understand? Okay？
