      The word 儿 is the simplified form of the conventional character 兒. The pictogram of the conventional character shows an infant with a big head and a small body. The opening at the top of the pictogram represents the soft spot found in the head of the infants. The simplified form retains just the body without the head.

      The word 儿 refers to a child of either sex and is used in combination with other words to form phrases such as 儿歌 (ér gē, ’nursery rhymes’),儿童 (ér tóng, ‘children’), 儿女 (ér nǚ, ‘sons and daughters’).

      儿 can be also used as a component in word-formation. Words containing this component generally refers to humans and their actions, for example, 元 (yuán, ‘chief’), 兄 (xiōng, ’elder brother’), 允 (yǔn, ’allow’) and 先 (xiān, ‘first’).

      In Chinese, 儿子 (ér zi) means ‘son’. In the traditional agriculture society of China, sons were preferred to daughters because they could prolong the family line, as well as provide much-needed labor on farms.
