蒼頭 (Hanshu: "*Cangtou* (gray-heads)." Ying Shao states: "Qin called the common people *qianshou* (black heads); *qian* means black, and *shou* means head. Male slaves were called *cangtou* (gray-heads) because [their headwear] was not pure black, thereby distinguishing them from ordinary free persons").
