Dad".with"Daddy".What's the difference?Isn't the difference between two words with the same meaning in the glyph?
In fact, although Dad and Dad agree that they are different, the difference is not limited to this. After disassembling these two words, it is clear that it is no wonder that the ancients liked to call them"Daddy"., instead of calling"Dad"
will"Daddy".The word is split into two parts, and it becomes"Parent".with"Many".The simplest way to interpret these two words is that a father has at least three or more children.
Therefore, the ancients called"Daddy"., there is another layer of requirements, that is, onlyPeople who have given birth to more than 3 children, to be worthy of being called by a child"Daddy".
Taking the mythical story that everyone is very familiar with as an example, when Nezha called Li Jing, he always used it"Daddy".Commensurate. On top of Nezha, he also has two brothers, Jinzha and Muzha.
Of course, there are no corresponding limitations to this statement, and in some one-child families in ancient times, they were also referred to as "father". However, at this time, the emotional meaning of calling "Dad" will be somewhat different.
There are already three or more children in the family, and the "father" is just stating the facts. There is only one child in the family, so "father" is the most sincere longing for the father to have many sons and blessings.
There are many similar ancient visions, like many ancient families, who clearly gave birth to daughters, but masculinized their names, which also belong to one of them.
Of course, in addition to the good hope, there is another explanation for the origin of "Dad". In primitive societies, the composition of human society is often matrilineal. The importance of men in the history of social development and change cannot be compared with that of women.
For the continuation, survival and development of human beings, society often implements the following:Polyandry。In other words, after a child is born, he does not know who his biological father is.
In this case, the meaning of "daddy".In fact, it is multiple fathersThis means that a child does not know who his father is, so it is generally seen as having many fathers.
Nowadays, when people make fun of someone, why do they like to use it?"Happy to be a father"., instead of "happy to be a dad", and that's why.
The same as Dad, the word "Dad" can also be interpreted separately, and the explanation here can be divided into three main ones, and their interpretations are completely different in different times and contexts.
First of all, during the Qing Dynasty, which is closest to us, after the Jurchen people entered the customs and unified the world, they were very fond of using overlapping words. They like to use it when they call their father"DadCommensurate.
In the process of ethnic integration, it is not only the culture of the Han nationality that influences other ethnic groups, but also the culture of other ethnic groups that has an important impact on the Han nationality.
Therefore, under the influence of the Jurchen rulers, the title "Dad" also became popular throughout the country, and the number of uses of "Dad" gradually decreased. Although it won't disappear completely, it still allows Dad to occupy a certain percentage.
Secondly, it is the Bashu region thousands of years ago, which is often called by the ancients in other places"Ba people".。Unlike people in other places, the Ba people are naturally good at climbing trees and cliffs due to environmental reasons.
After this characteristic was Xi by the world, the character "Ba" was also given the meaning of climbing. As a result, as the male elders of a certain family or a certain family, they will naturally be relied on and attached to by other family members.
When a father character is added to the word "ba", the word "dad" is derived from this.
As the communication between different regions gradually deepened, the title "Daddy" also spread to other places, and affected the way fathers were addressed in other places.
The most is also traced back to ancient times, but the "ba" at that time had nothing to do with the region, only to refer to"Giant Serpent".
The ancients deduced from the appearance of the giant snake opening its big mouth and wanting to eat"Hope and hope."meaning.
Therefore, the emergence of the word father is to express the father's hope for the child and hope that the child will grow up and become a talent.
In addition, before understanding the difference between dad and dad, people can also correctly understand the meaning of father through the help of "Shuowen Jie Zi".
There is an explanation in the ancient books: "Father, moment also, the parent is the one who calls." ”In other words, the identity of the father is not only a simple title, but also represents the rule-maker in a family.
The elder of the family is commensurate with his father, which is the most basic respect for the elder. When this tradition is passed down, no matter whatDad".Commensurate or to"Daddy".Commensurate, it doesn't matter much.
Of course, there are also parts of the world that refer to the father these days"Lord"., the father's younger brother or elder brother, according to the different order, are sorted by the eldest and second masters, which is another name that distinguishes it from "father" and "dad".
But no matter which one it is, there is actually no difference, the important thing is that the Chinese nation respects his father, which is worth passing on from generation to generation.
