蒼頭（漢書蒼頭應邵曰秦稱民曰黔𩠐黔黑也𩠐頭也奴曰蒼頭非純黑以別於民也）。

蒼頭 ("head servant / slave": Ying Shao's Hanshu commentary says: 'The Qin called commoners "dark heads" (黔首); 黔 means black, and 首 means head. Slaves were called "green-headed" (蒼頭) because their scarves were not purely black, in order to distinguish them from commoners').
