The basic meaning of "master" is the same as that of "master", which generally refers to a teacher engaged in teaching. The distinction between "master" and "master" in modern society needs to start from ancient times. The word "master" appeared earlier, originally meaning teacher.
However, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the word "master" has evolved into a general reference to the teachers of emperors, that is, teachers and teachers. The so-called "being a master is extremely expensive", and the usage of "master" has certain exclusiveness. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the word "master" began to return to the people, and civilians could also use it.
Extended data:
The word "Master" has been circulated since the Tang Dynasty, which basically means teacher and can also be used as a courtesy title for monks.
The word "master" is much more emotional. The so-called "one day as a teacher, one life as a father". In ancient times, the master often adopted apprentices, who lived in the master's house, and the master gave them money to support them and treated them as family.
Although not so close, in the traditional concept, father and teacher are equally important, so the word "father and teacher" was used in the old days. Note that female teachers are also called masters.
