What the hell is a master

Answer 1

The title 'Master' had many meanings. In history, it had appeared as early as the Warring States Period and was originally used to refer to teachers. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, it evolved to refer to the teacher of the emperor. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, there was almost no exception to this specific reference. From the Southern Song Dynasty, the scope of the reference gradually moved down, and the teachers of the common people could also be called "masters". After the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the people often used to refer to people with high craftsmanship and seniority in a certain industry, such as "Master Wang who repairs cars" and "Master Wu who makes sesame cakes". In modern times, one could also use " Master " to politely address a stranger on the street. For example, when asking for directions, one could ask " Master, how do I get there?" In addition," Master " was also the name of some film and television works, such as the emotional drama that debuted in 2011, which starred Li Youbin and Siqin Gaowa; the action, suspense, and crime short drama that aired in 2024, which starred Yu Ailei, Shi Zhan, Chen Simin, etc.
