Talk:Taifu

Bias caused by insufficient historical context
The name 'Taifu' (大夫) is originated and learnt from the ancient Chinese 'Dafu' (大夫). The description here is not accurate enough causing misleading. The creation of the term and the class 'Taifu' is because of the Confucian or Neo-Confucian. Sections in this article need to be rewritten. Several manuscripts are suggested (in APA):

I hope someone could take a good utilisation with these to polish this Article. -- だ ☆ ぜ (Dasze) 04:08, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
