【题目】 What age does doukou nianhua refer to?

In one of his poems,Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu compared girls around the age of 13 to blooming cardamom (豆蔻) flowers. Since then,people have used the phrase to refer to teenage girls of this age.

Rather than using numbers,ancient Chinese people described someone's age using titles (称谓). For example,Chuitiao,meaning "straight hair",referred to children from 3 to 8 years old. Chuitiao was a popular hairstyle for children of these ages.

Zongjiao,meaning "twisted (缠绕的) horn (角)",described children from 9 to 14 years old. Back then,children would comb their hair into two halves and twist each half into a knot. They looked like two horns on their heads.

Shufa,meaning a child ties his hair up,was used for boys who had reached the age of 15.

Ruoguan,or "junior cap" was used for young men in their twenties. These men would attend a hat-wearing ceremony when they turned 20,showing that they had become an adult.

"The year of independence" was the time when a man turned 30. He won't have a daydream any longer. He shouldn't speak more and work less.

At the age of 40,one has no doubts about the world.

When a man turned 50,he reached "the year of understanding the fate (命运)of heaven". It means he has become aware of his fate and will no longer make any useless efforts.

Finally,if you were lucky to live beyond 100 years,you would get the title "Qiyi".
