Why do you call your mother sister?

I call my mother my sister because my parents are gone, my eldest brother is my father and my elder sister is my mother. First, it is convenient for unmarried children to remarry, so they have always been called sisters. It is also possible that they are still young, so they are more confident when calling their sisters. There is also a stepmother who is not her own, and is not called mother. Some people in the folk also go to fortune telling. Mr. Wang said that if she called her sisters to avoid conflicts, mother and son would be safe.

The characteristics of mother calling her sister.

There are many names for mothers in ancient times. During the Han Dynasty, Sichuanese called their mother Sister. Xu Shen, a great scholar in the Han Dynasty, said in his Essays that Shu people called her sister. The so-called Shu people refer to Sichuanese. Xu Shen means that the elder sister is called by Sichuanese, which shows that the mother can be called the elder sister in the Han Dynasty.

However, in the Song Dynasty, elder sister did refer to mother, but in the modern sense, elder sister was called female brother. In fact, in the Song Dynasty, people called their father their father, their mother-in-law their sister, their mother-in-law their uncle, their father their concubine, and so on. In short, the names are very rich, and you can be brothers with the people.
