I want to know the answer to the following question:
What does 'si-min' mean?
All the background I'm provided with is that ""In 1727 the to-min or 'idle people' of Cheh Kiang province (a Ningpo name still existing), the yoh-hu or 'music people' of Shanxi province, the si-min or 'small people' of Kiang Su (Jiangsu) province, and the Tanka people or 'egg-people' of Canton (to this day the boat population there), were all freed from their social disabilities, and allowed to count as free men."". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
