What’s interesting is that in ancient times, when a boy reached the age of 20, he had to have his hair tied and crowned as a sign of adulthood, and at this time he had to take his name. When a girl reaches the age of 15, she must have her hair tied and tied in a knot to show that she is ready for marriage. At this time, she also needs to pick her name. It can be seen that in ancient times, both men and women had their own prefixes. For example, the modern female revolutionary Qiu Jin had the prefix Xuanqing.
