Nan (男，Baron) in the Inscriptions on Oracle and Bone Is a Tittle of Nobility　

Some times The character of 男（(nan) in the inscriptions on oracle and bone are put before a man's name and some times behind a man's name, this is the same case of伯(bo),侯 (hou) and子(zi). So all of them should be tittles of ranks of nobility. In the inscriptions on the early Western Zhou bronze vessels and some early literature such as zhou shu周书 in Shang shu商书, 男（(nan) were all refered as a tittle of rank, because most of the scholars agreed that the ritual system of Zhou came from the Shang system, so we can guess that 男（(nan)is also a tittle of ranks of nobility in Shang Dynasty.
