What does it mean to be in charge?

Being the master is the master; People of the same family.

In Jinan dialect, "master" refers to: the person who presides over the housework; People with the same surname.

The twentieth source of "The Story of Awakening Marriage": "I didn't blame my grandmother for not saying anything just now, just saying that my husband didn't know about it, which made people laugh."

It should be noted that the word "dang" in this "master" should be read four times here, which is the pronunciation of dang. The so-called master is "a person of the same family or clan".

The ancients called their blood relatives "relatives". Later, people also called their married relatives "relatives", such as aunts and uncles. Therefore, the man's family (except parents) is also called his own family, commonly known as "master", which refers to uncles, cousins and so on.

Later, with the passage of time, the word "master" has long lost its original meaning in the process of interpersonal communication. In old Beijing, the meaning of being in charge is no longer the same family, but the same surname. For example, when introducing the interpersonal and social relationships of two or more people in public, they will say "they are my husbands".
