How old are peaches and plums?

The year of peaches and plums means that women are twenty years old, which means that women in this period are as beautiful as peaches and plums in full bloom. Its original name was "The Year of Peach and Plum". A poem by Lu You: "The powder is light and fragrant, and it is pure from home, so peaches and plums are not allowed to take up the years." In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Wei also wrote in the work Qi Gongyan: "I swear to accept the effect of Sang Yu and not humiliate peaches and plums to repay this statement." Peach and plum are in full bloom, bright and moving, which is a metaphor for women and an excellent compliment.

Age appellation is an ancient name for age. The age of ancient people is sometimes expressed by other titles instead of numbers. Age appellation is mostly recorded in books, and has been used ever since. The age of ancient people is sometimes not expressed by numbers, but by an age-related title. Tiáo is a child between the ages of three or four and eight or nine (Tiá o, short hair hanging from the head of an ancient child). The total angle is a teenager between the ages of eight or nine and thirteen or fourteen (ancient children divided their hair into left and right halves and tied it in a knot at the top of their heads, which is shaped like two horns, so it is called "total angle").

Of course, there were more than these appellations in ancient times, and many of them were scattered in various ancient books, but they were not handed down because they were used less. These mentioned above have been used by later generations because of their high frequency of use and strong vitality. Some of them have also entered our daily communication, such as Standing at Thirty. For example, from the words "baby" and "child", we can't see the difference between history and today.
