How to call their relatives, when calling their relatives, we often hear or see the words "home, house, death, first, dog, small".

For example, calling one's father the father and the family strict, calling the mother the mother and the family ci, calling the father-in-law the family father-in-law, the grandfather the family ancestor, as well as the brother, the family sister-in-law, and so on.
She is used to modestly refer to relatives who are inferior to oneself, such as brothers, sisters, nephews, and relatives, but not to mention children and daughters.
First, it contains feelings of remembrance and sorrow, which is an honorific title for the deceased elderly, such as calling the deceased father the father, the ancestor, the first strict, and the first examination, the mother being called the first mother, the first concubine, and the first kind, and the grandfather calling the ancestor, and so on.

Small people often use humble words to call their own side, such as calling their children, little girls, and so on.

The five sayings refer to father, mother, brother, brother, wife, and son, which is a more common term in modern times, and the six relatives in modern Chinese also refer to relatives.

The father's brother is called "uncle", the father's second brother is called "middle father", the middle father's brother is called "uncle", the youngest uncle is called "Ji father", and later the father's brothers are collectively called "uncle".

Ancient and modern titles for couples In ancient and modern times, the titles of husband and wife include knotted hair, mandarin duck, couple, spouse, partner, lianli, Qin Jin, and the good of a hundred years.
"Mandarin duck" originally referred to brothers, and in ancient China, Mandarin ducks were compared to brothers. Mandarin ducks are originally birds of the same fate, amphibious and double-lived, so the ancients used it as a metaphor for brotherhood and friendship. Later, the use of Mandarin ducks to compare the couple began with the Tang Dynasty Lu Zhaolin.
In ancient China, when we were young, we married each other, which was called knotting hair. Later, because of the "knotted hair" as a marriage, it refers to the original couple.
Husbands did not mean a woman's spouse in ancient times. In ancient times, when men were twenty years old, they held a crown ceremony called husband, which was an ancient ritual. In addition, in ancient times, burly men who were eight feet long were called husbands. At the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the meaning of "husband" expanded, not only to adult men, but also to male children and even baby boys.
"Niangzi" Small Talk Niangzi is a kind of love name for the husband to the wife, and before the Yuan Dynasty, it was wrong to call the wife "Niangzi". Before the Song Dynasty, "niangzi" specifically referred to unmarried maidens, meaning today's girls.
In the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong favored Yang Guifei, and Yang Guifei's status in the harem was unparalleled, and she was called "Niangzi" in the palace. The lady here obviously does not refer to a girl anymore, but it cannot be understood as a title for the wife.
By the Yuan Dynasty, married women were commonly referred to as "niangzi". In the Ming Dynasty, it was generally customary to call young women "niangzi", and it had a delicate taste.
With the popularity of calling wives "niangzi", ordinary women are also called a certain bride, such as calling midwives "old brides", calling witches "teachers", calling prostitutes "flower girls", calling women with unclear relationships between men and women "husbands", and despising women as "mothers-in-law", etc., and calling them "bridesmaids".
Zhangren "Zhangren" is now commonly referred to as father-in-law. But in ancient times, "zhangren" did not only refer to the father-in-law. There are four main sayings of "Zhangren": first, "Zhangren" is an honorific title for the elderly and predecessors; second, "Zhangren" refers to the parent or master; third, "Zhangren" is the woman's title for her husband; fourth, "Zhangren" represents her father-in-law.
In our folk, the husbands of the sisters are commonly referred to as "lianxiang", and the origin of "lianxiang" is related to the famous poets Du Fu and Hong Mai in China.
The earliest to appear in the pen was Du Fu. In his later years, he lived in Chuandong and became acquainted with an old man surnamed Li in the local area, and the two families were still relatives. The two were very compatible, and for three days the two ends exchanged letters or chatted and drank together, and later Du Fu wanted to go out of the gorge to go down to Huxiang and wrote a poem entitled "Send Li Fifteen Zhangbie", recalling the friendship process, and one sentence was "People and business are in harmony, and they are connected with each other." This is just a description of being close to each other, and it doesn't have the kind of relationship that came after that.
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Hongmai had a cousin who was a guest of Shiquan Prefecture, not very proud, his wife's brother-in-law was a festival envoy in the Jianghuai area, writing a letter of recommendation to recommend to serve in the capital, Hongmai's cousin was very grateful, Tuo Hongmai wrote a xie qi for him, which had a sentence of "connecting the plackets". It can be seen that during the Song Dynasty, the title of "lianxiang" was already in use and had the same content as now.
The origin of the title of father-in-law and mother-in-law Ancient emperors often came to the top of the famous mountain, set up altars to worship the heavens and the earth and mountains, and the Jin Dynasty was enfeoffed with hundreds of officials, and the history was called "Feng Zen". Tang Xuanzong Li Longji once "sealed Zen" Taishan, and Zhongshu ordered Zhang Xiang to be a "sealing Zen envoy". Zhang divided his son-in-law Zheng Yi from nine pins to five pins. Later, When Emperor Xuanzong asked about Zheng Yi's promotion, Zheng Yi was speechless. Huang Ha, who was next to him, sneered at him: "This is the power of Tarzan." Emperor Xuanzong was very unhappy to learn that Zhang Xiang was favoritism, and soon demoted Zheng Yi back to the original Jiupin. Later, when people learned of this, they called their wives and fathers "Taishan". Because Taishan is the head of the five mountains, he is also called "father-in-law", and at the same time, he also calls his wife and mother-in-law "mother-in-law".
The origin of the "East Bed" East Bed refers to the son-in-law. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xi Jian sent his disciples to Wang Dao's house to find a son-in-law. The doorman came back and said, "The young people of the Wang family are all good, but when they heard the news, they all pretended to be reserved, and there was only one young man, who was on the east bed and only cared about eating, as if he didn't hear us talking." Xi Jianyi heard this and said, "This person is the good son-in-law I am looking for!" This young man was the later great calligrapher Wang Xizhi. Since then, people have called the son-in-law "East Bed".
