What does Chongqing Yaomei mean?

Chongqing Yaomei has a humorous mood in the Chongqing dialect context. The youngest girl in the family is called "Yao Mei'er" by her parents or older siblings, mostly to express love and affection for their younger daughters and sisters. Outsiders can also call girls from other families "Yao Mei'er", but they are usually called by their surname. Such as: Chen Yaomei'er, Wang Yaomei'er, etc.

Yamei has three meanings:

The first refers to the youngest sister in the family, called Yaomei.

The second type refers to young women.

The last one is the name of a dance in the early days of liberation, called "Yao Mei" and so on.

Extended information

"Yaoer" usually refers to a boy, but it can also refer to a girl. However, "mei'er" only refers to girls. Just like "he" can refer to both men and women, while "she" can only refer to women. If a boy calls a girl "Yaoer", one means he is close to you, and the other means he is very close to you, a bit like a buddy.

Nowadays, in addition to rankings, people in Sichuan often call "the one they love most" with "yao". For example, they call babies "yaoyao" and "yao'er"; "yaomao" and "yaomao". "Yaoba", "Yaoyi", "Yaoshu", etc. specifically refer to the youngest one.

Because "yao" means "little", "tender", "young", etc., "yaomei" mostly refers to "girl" or "beautiful little girl". The name "Yao Mei" is mostly used in Sichuan, Chongqing and Guizhou. It is more common in the Tujia area and is also used in other provinces.
