In ancient times, uncles were not called dad. Why do people call them uncle now? Why didn't my uncle call me?

Appellations have been very complicated since ancient times, and all ethnic groups are different. Only mothers and brothers are called uncles, uncles, uncles, and in some places there is only one word, uncle. I don't know when and where these slightly different names began.

Nowadays, most areas call mother's brother uncle, both orally and in writing. But I am generally called uncle orally and uncle in writing here.

As for why not call mom uncle, it's really hard to answer. Maybe the initials are a little indecent. I don't think the mother letter is as good as the mother letter. We distinguish between male and female animals. Humans are advanced animals and should be different from other animals, so we can't generalize. I think the mother letter is better than the mother letter because the structure of the mother letter is a good woman!

In a word, no matter my uncle or my uncle, they used to be basically called uncles, and the names of a nation should be unified!

As the saying goes, an uncle is like a father. Because half the blood of a child still comes from the mother's family, the role of uncle in ancient times is very important.

If there is anything important in the family, such as family separation, the father will invite the family, of course, the baby's uncle, so that the husband-in-law will not bully the woman's family, and outsiders can see clearly and avoid some minor contradictions. Therefore, my uncle is still very important in a family.

Because uncle is matriarchal, there are also some titles with matriarchal characteristics. For example, in the Chaoshan area now, there is a mother and uncle. There is also Jiangsu and Zhejiang, called uncle. Actually, the meaning is very intuitive. Both mother and mother represent the origin of a bloodline.

Interestingly, the words "mother uncle" and "uncle uncle" are still used in places with rich Han culture in the south, which shows that these two words have a great relationship with the traditional culture of China. The name uncle has a long history.

"Biography of Historical Records and Filial Piety" records: "Zhao, uncle of Huainan Wang, was named Zhou Yanghou." The uncle here refers to the uncle of Huainan Wang. I feel that the word uncle is written and more formal. The words "Uncle Mom" and "Uncle Uncle" are colloquial. Of course, the word uncle is more common now. Not only oral use is ok, but also written expression is very popular.
