In ancient times, a woman’s twenty-year-old age was called Peach and Plum Nianhua.

Originally refers to the season of peach and plum blossoms, generally refers to spring, and by extension refers to youth, a metaphor for youth. "The pink light fragrance comes from the same family, and the peach and plum years are not allowed to occupy the years" is often used to describe women. Early summer is not what it is like in midsummer, so the peach and plum years are used to refer to women in their twenties.

Hua Xin Nian Hua (women aged 20-25): Nowadays, when women reach the age of 24 or 25, they are called "leftover women", but the ancients gave women of this age a very beautiful title─ ─Flower years.

Flower letters are the wind that comes during the flowering season. The trade wind in the solar term brings the news of flowering. The woman is twenty-four years old, and she is still young and beautiful.

In the process of reading ancient Chinese, we often come across some words expressing age titles, such as: "Weak Crown", "Old Age", etc. Students often find this difficult to understand. In fact, there are many words like this, which are all knowledge that we must understand in the process of reading ancient Chinese.

The ancient people’s age titles had different origins. Most of them were named according to the physiological characteristics of different ages, but some became fixed titles based on what the predecessors said.

Among all the age titles, the title "ninety" is the most common and interesting. It is also called "fish back". Mackerel is a kind of fish, and the spots on its back are like the wrinkled skin of an old man. In old age, age spots appear on the skin like the skin of a frozen pear, so it is also called "frozen pear".

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 child held in the chest. At the age of seven, in addition to being called "mourning", it is also called "羾龀" and "ruining teeth".

It is called this because it is the period when teeth are changing. Fifteen-year-olds are called "children". In ancient times, they became adults at the age of sixteen. At the age of fifteen, men were not crowned with crowns, and women were not crowned with hairpins. The meaning used here is metaphorical.
