Romantic Relationship
Number 2 in Chinese Culture
However, Two has another interesting use in dialects of different places of China, but mostly negative. In Shaanxi Province, 二 (Two) pronounced ‘Er’ in Chinese is used as an adjective to ironically describe those who are intemperate, reckless, or intrepid. So when someone says you are Er or Er Bai Wu (Two Hundred and Fifty), it is not a word of praise. In Baoding and some cities in the northeastern China, it has the meaning of stupidity, and people usually make fun of each other with it. Among Nankang Hakka people in Jiangxi Province, they give kids diminutive names such as ‘Er Zai’ or ‘Er Zei’. People think that a child with a lowly name is more easily to be brought up. Here 2 is used as a term of affection. There is also a standard song-and-dance duet popular in the northeastern China named Er Ren Zhuan.
For a family with three children in countryside, there is a popular saying ‘the eldest child gets most love because he or she is the baby and the youngest child is most cared because he or she is so young; then the child in the middle is usually roughly brought up’. Therefore, people often say the second baby in such a family gets least love but become most independent.
In recent years, the derogatory meaning of 2 lessened a lot. Among many young people, Er is an increasingly popular adjective, which is partially a synonym of frank, innocent, and with pioneering spirit. They believe that Er stands for a positive attitude towards life and some even love to be called Er Ge (second elder brother) or Er Jie (second elder sister).
