The Study About The Changes Of Chinese Couple's Appellations Both In Ancient And Modern Time

Chinese couple' s appellations have been changed during the long years of history. First, I'll explain and analyze the reasons from social and cultural aspects. Let' s focus on the social structure and social ethics. The different social structure makes husband and wife have the different status in society; for this, they will surely have different appellations for each other. As we know, China is a country that attaches importance to social ethics; that can be reflected by the couple's appellation, either from its formalization and development or its changes. Further more, the language and morals are the reasons, too. The internal development of language strongly pushes the changes of these appellations forward. Affected by the language and cultural background, the Aappellations adapt positively. This kind of regulative system makes Chinese couple' s appellations change from one kind of balance to the other kind.
