In costume dramas before the Qing Dynasty, it is wrong to address someone as "Mr. So-and-so".

In the Tang Dynasty, "Sir" was originally the name that children used to address their fathers in formal occasions. Later, some corrupt officials, in order to curry favor with their superiors, also called people of higher ranks "Sir", but this was only done in private and only in a few cases.

It was during the Qing Dynasty that "Sir" truly became a title for officials.

Therefore, before the Qing Dynasty, it was wrong to refer to people who were not parents as "Mr. So-and-so". Recall whether this mistake is very common in costume dramas. You may want to find it out next time you watch a TV series.

Here is another little-known fact: in addition to adults, older brothers and grandfathers, in ancient times, fathers were also called "Family Father", "Family Honored", "Master of the Family", "Big", "Elder", "Big", "Uncle", "Uncle" and so on. Some of these titles are even still used today in some areas.
