What is Du Niang? Internet words Du Niang
For a long time, netizens have used to jokingly call Baidu "Du Niang". But why is Baidu called Du Niang? What does Du Niang mean? Du Niang is the alias of Baidu. This name has been circulated in the mouths of the majority of netizens, and Baidu officials themselves have admitted that it is not exclusive to SEO.
The source of the title Du Niang
The first explanation of Du Niang: "Niang" here is the Japanese, non-Chinese meaning of niang. In Japanese, "niang" means "young girl", and Baidu does not have "chicken" (see Du Niang's third explanation), and the ranking is fickle, completely arrogant, just to confirm the "niang" statement, so Baidu has the alias "Du Niang".
Du Niang's second explanation: In 2007-2008, due to the imperfection of the review system of Baidu Tieba's automatic review system, it often occurred that the "first floor" of the post was mistakenly deleted as advertising or politically sensitive content, resulting in a large number of posts without "first floor". Therefore, in order to avoid the trouble of incomplete content or additional posts after the post was "harmonious", the publisher usually vacated the first floor, or posted the same content on the first and second floors, or simply posted a sentence on the first floor: "Baidu on the first floor" to occupy the space. Later, due to the feminization of two-dimensional things, it gradually became a custom on the Internet, and Baidu was called "Du Niang", indicating a kind of ridicule. On the first floor, it was replaced by "Feeding Du Niang on the first floor" or "Feeding bears on the first floor".
A third explanation for Du Niang: The word Du Niang originated from Baidu Tieba search. Search on Tieba for rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, dogs, and pigs in the twelve zodiac signs. Tieba can be searched, but the search results for chickens are as follows: Sorry, according to relevant laws and policies, this bar is temporarily closed. And those who do not have a "chicken" bar are women, so Baidu personification is only female, and later there is the name "Du Niang".
The fourth explanation of Du Niang: This explanation is relative to Google. Google's Chinese name is "Google", which is homonym "Gu Ge". "Gu Ge" is the world's largest search engine, while Baidu is the largest search engine in China. The two search engines are a perfect match at some level, so there is "Du Niang".
The fifth expression of the title of Du Niang: "Baidu, you will know." This sentence is known by almost every Internet user. Baidu has brought great convenience to the online life of online games, so Baidu is called "Du Niang".
Duniang's title extension
Another reason is that Baidu often "swallows" stickers, blocking words are sensitive, etc., which makes some netizens feel that Du Niang is very "troublesome" and "mother-in-law", so the term "Du Niang" has been further expanded.
This spoof was widely accepted by Tieba, and following the public's demand, some netizens even gave this title a special picture.
Since Baidu often selects posts on the first floor, some posts with pictures basically say "First Floor Sacrifice to Du Niang" and other similar sentences on the first floor.

The new Duniang comes from Baidu's administrative, HR, product and other departments. In the Internet company where the engineer culture is dominant, Baidu borrows the popularity of "Duniang" employees to promote beautiful women other than engineers to the public, forming a unique Duniang culture.

It is worth mentioning that Baidu itself has also generously accepted this title in some activities. On the annual Tieba Club popularity list, the words "I love Du Niang" are written impressively.

In December 2011, a few netizens found a virtual image on the official website of Baidu's Japanese IME input method to guide netizens on how to use the Baidu version of the Japanese IME input method. According to the website, the virtual image is called Aimei and has certain cute attributes. The news spread on some forums, and some netizens believed that this image may be the image of Du Niang. Although many people think that this image is not perfect, in general, the characters used by Baidu officials are integrated into the local aesthetic concept of Japan, which can be said to have a certain attractiveness.
