1. It's different in size. In the 47th chapter of Wu Chengen's journey to the West in the Ming Dynasty, "there are 30 or 40 people in seven big and eight small schools." Chapter 20 of Lao Can's Travels: stones are seven big and eight small, and there are endless thorns, which can't be reached in a lifetime! 2. Scattered appearance.

The 18th chapter of Cao Xueqin's a dream of Red Mansions in Qing Dynasty: "these twelve hairpins belong to Jinling. How can these people in the family now have only these few." 2. Many wives and concubines. Chapter 44: there are no seven big and eight small families in Di's family's house, and there are no three small groups under the knee.
