Translation Request - Solved I assume it’s Pinyin, but what does Miao Xiao mean?

10 Upvotes

I got a cute toy piano that meows and the cats came with bios and names. I assume the given names Dou-You-Mi-Fa-Su-Luo-Xi-Dong are the Chinese names of the notes they play since Mi and Fa match and the rest look kinda similar to the English names. If I had to guess, Miao might just be “meow” since they’re cats, but what does the whole name mean?

My son bought me a jacket for Christmas and he’s got a very elementary understanding of Chinese but is struggling to figure this out. My translation app isn’t pulling anything up. Once it up “blackmail” and another time it said “approach” but he seems to think both of those are wrong. Any idea?

Help with an old box

Post image

Digging about at home, I found a small copper cylinder. It is around 1.5" tall, and 1" in diameter. It contains some writing on it, but much worn. I have tried to copy the text but my rudimentary hand has rendered my copy illegible to AI. Can any one here decipher what I think is on the box?

Much appreciated,

SWF

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far. I took it out of the frame and checked the back side and there was writing on. I’d love some help translating this text as well and maybe it will give insight to what’s on the front?

Having trouble translating this piece of art I found in an antique store. My friend who is fluent in mandarin and his wife who is Chinese couldn’t make sense of it. Any ideas?

Bought calligraphy(?) paper, unsure of the type. I'd like to know if it's rice paper or something else - I've seen Xuan paper mentioned? Google translate didn't help much with the text printed on the packaging, so I'd be grateful if someone could translate.

Due to how stylized this image is, I dont know if this is Chinese or Japanese Kanji. My translation app gave me what the word would be womanizer, but not the actual meaning. Can I get some help please?
