There are also names based on physiological characteristics. For example, newborns are called "babies" because newborns need to be held in front of the chest for feeding. Ying can communicate with Ying, Ying is the chest. The baby is the one held in the chest. In addition to being called "mourning", the age of seven is also called "羾龀" and also called "ruining teeth".
