What's the difference between "Master" and "Master"?

Master, in ancient times, was a general term for teachers and a respectful title for monks. Respecting teachers and attaching importance to morality has always been a fine tradition of our Chinese nation. As the saying goes, "My parents gave birth to me and taught me to be a master." In ancient times, teachers and students were like father and son, teachers were real teachers, students were doers, teachers regarded students as their own children, and students regarded teachers as their second parents. Students' union helps to take care of teachers' children and family affairs, and teachers and classmates help to take care of students' families with difficulties, just like a family.

Even in some industries, once you worship Master, you will be fully disciplined by Master. Parents can't interfere with it for several years, and they can't even meet their children. In the Han and Tang dynasties, in order to show people's attention to this relationship between teachers and students, a formal ceremony of learning from teachers was gradually formed, which was called learning from teachers. When students learn from teachers, they should give them three salutes, nine knocks, kneel down and offer red envelopes, and there are other specific etiquette, so I won't say much here.

We read the Analects of Confucius and saw that Confucius and his disciples were really in love between teachers and students, which was very touching. Many disciples of Confucius were born in poverty, such as Yan Hui. He got a free meal and a ladle of drinks. Their daily life is basically funded by their classmates, and after their death, their classmates chip in to help arrange the funeral. After the death of Confucius, Zigong and his classmates mourned for Confucius for three years. Then Zigong built a hut in front of Confucius' grave and stayed alone for three years, a total of six years. What a profound relationship between teachers and students! Up to now, the word "master" is basically only used as a title of respect for monks, nuns and Taoist priests.

Master, in ancient times, was an apprentice's honorific title to the person who taught his skills, with a certain emotional color; It is also a polite address for some craftsmen with professional skills; Up to now, we are used to calling ordinary male workers masters.

For example, the teachers of ancient governors were called a surname, a teacher, Shao Shi and Shao Fu, all of which were honorifics for teachers. Respect some people with special skills, such as drivers, carpenters, shoe repairers and electric car repairers.
