One character a day, easy to master Chinese characters. Let's take a look at the basic knowledge of "夫".

夫 fū  
Explanation：man; husband
Phrases：夫妇(fū fù) husband and wife  ; 夫人(fū rén) lady;Madame;Mrs
古时，一个男孩子到了二十岁，就要用发簪把头发束起来，还要戴上一顶帽子，表示已是成年人，成年后的男子称“夫”。“夫”字还包含着受别人尊敬的意思。
夫 is formed by adding a horizontal stroke above “person”（人）, yet this horizontal stroke does not mean “head of the person”. Rather, it means the hairpin in a man’s hair. In ancient times, when a boy reached the age of 20, he had to bind his hair with a hairpin in a ritual initation, to be considered a grown up man. Therefore, the hairpin is the sign of “a grownup man ”,and this is also the original meaning of "夫" .
