The '''''Xiao Erya''''' ({{zh-cpw|c=小爾雅/小尔雅|p=''Xiǎo Ěryǎ''|w=''Hsiao Erh-ya''}}; "Little [Er]ya") was an early [[Chinese dictionary]] that supplements the ''[[Erya]]''. It was supposedly compiled in the early [[Han Dynasty]] by Kong Fu (孔鮒 264?-208 BCE), a descendent of [[Confucius]]. However, the received ''Xiao Erya'' text was included in a [[Confucianist]] collection of debates, the ''Kongcongzi'' (孔叢子; ''K'ung-ts'ung-tzu''; "The Kong Family Master's Anthology"), which contains fabrications that its first editor [[Wang Su]] (王肅, 195-256 CE) added to win his arguments with [[Zheng Xuan]] (鄭玄, 127-200CE). The [[Qing Dynasty]] scholar Hu Chenggong (胡承珙, 1776-1832), who wrote the ''Xiao Erya yizheng'' (小爾雅義證 "Exegesis and Proof for the ''Xiao Erya''"), accepted Kong Fu as the author. Liu (2005) concludes the ''Xiao Erya'' reliably dates from the Western Han Dynasty and suggests its compiler was from the southern state of [[Chu (state)| Chu]].▼

The ''Xiao Erya'' has 374 entries, far less than the ''Erya'' with 2091. It simplifies the ''Erya'''s 19 semantically-based chapter divisions into 13, and entitles them with ''guang'' (廣 "expanding") instead of ''shi'' (釋 "explaining").

In comparison with the [[Erya#Contents| ''Erya'' chapter]] arrangement, ''Xiao Erya'' sections 1-31–3 (defining abstract words) are identical. Despite the different title with ''yi'' ("righteousness") instead of ''qin'' ("relatives"), both Section 4 and Chapter 4 ("Explaining Relatives") define kinship terms. Sections 6 and 7 divide Chapter 6 ("Explaining Utensils"). ''Xiao Erya'' Section 8 combines Chapters 13 ("Explaining Plants") and 14 ("Explaining Trees"); 9 mirrors 17; and Section 10 combines 18 ("Explaining Beasts") and 19 ("Explaining Domestic Animals"). ''Xiao Erya'' sections 5 (funeral terms) and 11-1311–13 (units of measurement) are not included in the ''Erya''. {{r|Ariel1995}}
