Xiao Riben (Chinese: 小日本; pinyin: xiǎo Rìběn) is a derogatory Chinese slang term for the Japanese people or a person of Japanese descent. Literally translated, it means "little Japan" or "little Japanese". It is often used with "guizi" or ghost/devil, such as "xiao Riben guizi", or "little Japanese devil".

Usage[edit]

This is a largely archaic term used in China as a result of the Sino-Japanese Wars in offense to the Japanese forces at the time.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
