The word "姑娘" (gūniang) is a common term in Chinese, often used to refer to a young woman or girl. It can come off as polite and somewhat formal, depending on the context. It is generally not considered old-fashioned or rude. The age range it describes typically refers to young women, often in their teens to early twenties.nThe equivalent term for "boy" in Chinese is "小伙子" (xiǎohuǒzi), which is commonly used to refer to a young man.
