There are several ways to address your lover.

China was called a country of etiquette in ancient times, which is reflected in various aspects, such as the appellation between husband and wife, which is quite different from the straightforward and vulgar "husband" and "wife" now.

Let's talk about the saying that the ancients called their wives:

First of all, my humble Jing. This statement is rare now. Stupidity is modesty, thorns are thorns, and shrubs. In ancient times, women often used shrubs as hairpins. Therefore, it is a modest name to refer to your wife with humble Jing. ?

Second, Zitong. This can also be seen in TV dramas. Generally, the emperor called the queen Zitong, but it was rare among ordinary people. Catalpa is a very expensive tree, so catalpa generally refers to the queen.

Third, my wife. This title is relatively common, and everyone knows it when watching costume TV series. Most college students like to call their wives that way. ?

Fourth, the wife. This statement is similar to my wife's, except that it is modest. In ancient times, base did not modify "inside", that is to say, base does not refer to the wife, but to the man himself.

Fifth, madam. This title is also very common. When it comes to ladies, the first thing that comes to mind is "Lady ~ Aha ~" written by White Snake or Phoenix Legend. The name "madam" became popular in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was generally called this way in the Yuan Dynasty. ?

Number six, madam. This statement is familiar to everyone, madam. This statement has a long history. But the real change was in the Republic of China.

Seven, madam. Everyone must have heard of this, but in ancient times, women with certain status and status could be called ladies. ?

Corresponding to the above, it is the wife's address to her husband:

First, a lover. At the earliest time in our country, wives always called their husbands lovers. In ancient poems, there is a saying that "my concubine rises from a garden in a tall building, and my lover holds a halberd in the open". The image of a tall man immediately jumped to the page, giving people a flash of imagination.

Second, lang. Because the name "lover" does not show gender, a man is called a wife, and a wife is called a husband. Both of them are lovers, so people later added "Lian" to the right of "good" and became "good"; Add "female" to the left of "good" to form "mother". "Chen" means husband, which makes people feel gentle and affectionate.

Third, Mr. Lang. Later, the ancients thought it was too sweet to call Lang, and many good women were ashamed to call it out in front of people, so they added a disyllabic word before or after Lang, that is, a gentleman word after Lang; Became an intimate husband. A wife calls her husband a husband, which is an elegant name for her husband, a bit like a man's enthusiasm for reading poetry.

Fourth, the official. In Song Dynasty, there were frequent cultural exchanges between North and South. As a result, the word "official" appeared in the imperial court at that time, and it also produced the title of "official" among the people, such as "Simon Daguan" in Water Margin. An official is a title of respect for an official, which later developed into a title of respect for a wife to her husband. Up to now, the folks still call the newlyweds groom officials. It can also be seen from this title that with the prosperity of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, the family status of men has also reached a new level.

5.my wife. Similarly, in the Song Dynasty, the wife also called her husband an outsider, called her husband more gently, and her husband called her wife. It may represent a man or a mistress, who has a certain status, or there will be no man grovelling in front of others and grovelling in front of his wife. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, Pan Jinlian called Simon A Qingtian a "Lian Guan", while the virtuous and elegant Li Qingzhao might call Zhao Mingcheng a "wife".

Sixth, xianggong. In many Peking Opera, Yue Opera and Huangmei Opera, we often hear the long sound of "xianggong-",which shows that this title should be quite popular in ancient times. This is a step further than the official position, and it is not only an official, but also the highest official position. Men's family status thus reached its peak.

Seven, sir. Since modern times, some people have addressed their husbands as Mr. This is also a kind of respect for older and ethical workers. It can be seen that this title also includes respect for people with certain knowledge and higher age. Calling her husband by Mr. is very elegant and means admiration and respect. This shows that the dignity of men is still widely used by overseas Chinese and Hong Kong and Taiwan. ?
