China once liked to call young women "Miss", but "Miss" was originally a bad name. According to Zhao Yi's "Yuyu Cong Kao", a literary historian in the Qing Dynasty, "the female boudoir in the Song Dynasty was called the little lady, and the young lady was called the cheap one", which was taboo for the ladies. In Song Dynasty, Qian Weiyan recorded "Miss Han from the Palace of Tea and Wine" in Yutang Fengchen Lu.
It can be seen from this that "Miss" originally referred to the palace maid; in the "Yijian Zhi" written by Hongmai in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is recorded: "Fu Jiu, who is good for traveling, often makes arrangements with Miss Sanlelin." "Miss Lin" is an artist. Su Shi's "Sister Yang, a prostitute from Sichuan, was presented to a prostitute on the banquet of Cheng Bo", and his poem said: "It is really suitable to sit down, pay close attention to the lips and lightly thrush the eyebrows. You must trust the beauty of the Yang family, and Luochuan has its own bathing concubine pool. ".
It can be seen that prostitutes in Song Dynasty were also called "Miss". In Song and Yuan dynasties, concubines were often called "Miss". Today, miss is used to address unmarried women and has become people's daily appellation.
