Hide the setting book

Since this work is a typical "setting is like a big iceberg, only a small piece of water is used", in order to satisfy the curiosity of some readers about Xike Cuige Shijie, and to avoid the spider web of columns and blogs, the characters in the book are invited to explain some hidden settings that are not known to readers.

The second lesson is the lecturer of the title problem: Xiao Xuan, Seren

Xiao Xuan: "Hello readers!"

Seren: "Hello everyone!"

Xiao Zhen (bright smile): "The author said that there are too many hidden settings in the second episode, and I want to pick the best explanation to fill the layout, so I also captured the knight (even brighter smile)!"

Seren: "I'm going to explain that I called 'Mr. Sayvernon' and 'Mr. Tregg' respectively. 」

Xiao Xuan: "In my country, it is more common to use 'adult', right? For example, Xi Ke often uses the director's 'adult'. 」

Seren: "Yes. Because of the legacy of the former aristocratic society, in fact, there are many words that belong to the class society. The habitual use of "adult" is one of them. "Sir" is closer to the equal status of both parties, or the honorific title when you have a higher status. However, since I usually use the word "adult", when I really use Mr., if the tone is a little more "special", it can be used sarcastically!"

Xiao Xuan: "Normally, if you just want to express intimacy, you don't add honorific titles at all. 」

Seren: "Yes. In addition, in the past, people with higher status than themselves must only be called by their surnames, but later the class opened up, and in order to show that they did not care about the class, to show their intimate relationship with people of different classes, and to eliminate the barrier, everyone called them directly by their first names. Therefore, the correct way to use the title of person now is "Lord Xike". 」

Xiaojiao: "Then you call us by our last name?"

Seren: "Emphasis on distance. It's a manifestation of "anti-intimacy". 」

Xiao Xuan: "Nowadays, we still use our last names to call people, which will become an overly formal usage. 」

Seren: "It's called that in some very traditional places. It is true that in some places, it is still considered inappropriate to call people by name. However, it would be awkward to call it so in a more trendy area. 」

Author: "It's like writing a novel in classical Chinese. Seems deliberate. 」

Seren: "Yes. (laughs)"

Xiao Xuan: "Although 'adult' is very commonly used, not everyone is like this. There will be some people who follow any customs and habits, and some people who do not abide by them. 」

Seren: "Rick is the kind of person who is very obedient, and grown-ups come and go all day long. 」

Author: "If this book were translated into Japanese, it would become an honorific character. 」

Xiao Xuan: "Ha! In the local area, all kinds of traditional etiquette have actually developed in a simpler and more relaxed direction, and if it continues to develop, maybe the honorific title will disappear another day?"

Seren: "That's easy, the knight class has a lot of etiquette lessons, and a bunch of people are complaining every time. 」

Xiao Zhen: "It's easy, but it's only temporary. When one class standard disappears, another must take its place. For example, the new one: "Use bags and carts to represent class. In line with the theme of the banquet, you can wear a variety of brand-name clothes to show respect for the host's family. These new standards may not be easier to implement than the old ones. 」

Seren: "That's what Master Cha said?"

Xiaojiao: "yes. 」

Seren: "There is no more insightful word than this. 」

(Xiao Zhen and Serian face each other with a big smile.) ）

Author: "The VIP of the second episode decided to be Grandpa Cha! That's it for the second lesson, thanks to the two lecturers!"
