	Chinese style name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zi (Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese: 字; Pinyin: zì), or sometimes called Biao Zi (Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese: 表字; Pinyin: biǎo zì), or courtesy name, is a name traditionally given to Chinese males at the age of 20, marking their coming of age, or sometimes to females when they are married.
		Therefore, the given name is reserved for oneself and one's elders, while zi would be used by adults of the same generation to refer to one another in formal occasions or writings; hence the term "courtesy name".
		The relation between zi and the given name is evident in the case of Mao Zedong (毛泽东), whose zi was Runzhi (润之).
