"Foot" is an honorific used in ancient times to be subordinate or commensurate with peers. In modern Chinese, "足下" is an honorific title for a friend, and is mostly used for letters.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes of the Jin Kingdom competed for the throne and killed each other. Gongzi Chong'er fled with his henchmen, and nineteen years later, with the help of Qin Mugong, he returned to the Jin Kingdom and ascended the throne, known as Jin Wengong in history. In order to repay the meritorious personnel during the exile, Jin Wengong decided to reward him. Jie Zitui was a meritorious man, but he was unwilling to accept the reward and fled to the mountains to live in seclusion. Duke Wen sent people to set fire to the mountain and forced him to leave the mountain as an official. Jie Zitui hugged the trunk of the tree and was burned to death. Jin Wengong was so grieved that he cut down the trunk of a tree to make clogs and wear them on his feet every day to commemorate the kindness of Jie Zitui. Since then, whenever he thinks of Jie Zitui, he hangs his head to the clogs and says bitterly: "It's really sad, foot!" This "foot" originally referred to the clogs under the feet, and was later extended to refer to the honorific of friends.
Similar to "under the foot", there is a group of honorifics for "because of the inferior": the emperor is called "Your Majesty", the prince and prince are called "Your Highness", the general is called "Jiexia", and the other party is called "Your Excellency". "Your Majesty" refers to the high steps of the palace, in front of which there are close ministers to serve, and the ministers play the play, which must be forwarded by the close ministers so as not to disturb the saints. The Son of Heaven is called "Your Majesty", and the rank of the Son of Heaven is called his master, so as to show the supremacy of the emperor and the humility of his subordinates. "Palace" refers to the palace, "Jie" refers to the Fu Festival, and "Lu" refers to the military flag; Calling the crown prince His Royal Highness, and calling the general a subordinate or subordinate means that you don't dare to trouble directly, and ask the people around you to convey it, but in fact it still refers to the other party.
"Che driving" originally referred to the chariot that the emperor sit, and "driving" was also used as a synonym for the emperor. Later, it was used as an honorific title for others, such as "respectful driving", "Taiwan driving" and "big driving".
