What is a handmaiden?

Handmaiden refers to men and women who lost their freedom and were enslaved, and later refers to male and female servants.

In ancient times, "handmaiden" refers to a person who lost his freedom and served his master for free. Its sources include sinners, prisoners and their families, and those bought from poor families. Usually men are called slaves, women are called maids, and later they are also used as a general term for male and female servants.

In the original ancient Chinese, "slave" and "handmaiden" were separated-male slaves were called "domestic slaves" and female slaves were called "handmaids". With the passage of time and the change of language, "slave" and "maid" gradually merged, and later names appeared. In other words, in ancient times, "handmaiden" had no gender orientation, as long as the servant called himself "handmaiden".
