Q: Is it called [Fire Kirin]? A: [Fire Kirin] is a two-part allegorical saying in Guangdong, which means [systemic addiction] and "hyperactive disease". He is very active and likes everything around him. Q: What is the source? A: [Fire Kirin] seems to come from folklore and customs. Kirin is a legendary spirit beast in China. The man's name is Qi and the woman's name is Lin. Kirin looks like a deer and its tail looks like an ox's tail. It has only one horn, and it has no horn. It can spit fire with its mouth, and its voice is like thunder. In ancient China, Kirin symbolized auspiciousness. According to legend, this beast only appears in times of peace and prosperity, or when there are saints in the world. It is also called chime. There are many folk activities in Guangdong, such as the "Fire Kirin" dance in Dawan, to drive away evil and attract blessings and wishes for peace. "Fire Kirin" is divided into two parts: head and tail. Both parts are made of bamboo branches, and the two parts are connected by a 10-foot-long white cloth sprayed with red dots. This kind of "fire unicorn" loves to stir up firecrackers, and when dancing, it often makes the smoke diffuse and the fire sparkle. The person in charge of the dance "Fire Kirin" wore this bamboo "Fire Kirin" and traveled all over the village. These "Fire Kirin" dancers are brave people, because traditionally they have to go door to door. At this time, every household will prepare firecrackers, and when the "fire unicorn" passes by, it will be set off with firecrackers, so people who are not brave enough will never dare to take this responsibility. Dancers go shirtless and wear only a pair of shorts; In order to avoid the sulfur smell of firecrackers choking, I also took a bite of lettuce to moisten my throat. In this way, they jumped from street to street, one after another. After one firecracker is released, it goes to another, and the sound of bamboo firecrackers is endless. It was not until the fire unicorn was blown to pieces by firecrackers that it was called "? Fire Kirin ","the person who killed the fire Kirin is a hero; "Fire Kirin" quilt? , is the performance of prosperity. This custom is also regarded as an important intangible cultural heritage in modern times. Q: Why does "Fire Kirin" mean "whole body addiction"? A: This is because it is said that [Fire Kirin] is full of flames, and it will ignite instantly wherever it goes, even if it is slightly scratched. Therefore, the "fire unicorn" has a "fire trigger" all over its body, which is something that can cause burning. Because of this, "fire unicorn" means "whole body" (the whole body is the flame that causes burning). "Introduction" and "addiction" are homophonic, so "whole body introduction" becomes "whole body addiction", which brings out another meaning to be expressed-very active and interested. This explanation is by no means arbitrary. This can be another two-part allegorical saying in Cantonese: "Wet water firecrackers-death addiction". Firecrackers get wet when they meet water, and the fuse is also wet, which is "dead lead" Moreover, the words "lead" and "addiction" are homophones in Cantonese. So on the surface, it is "death", but actually it wants to express "death addiction". "Dead addiction" means addiction is too great to extricate oneself. Therefore, the so-called "introduction", two two-part allegorical sayings refer to "introduction fire"; Then because of the homophonic sound of quotation and addiction, it is specially used to express another meaning. Note: Of course, the phrase "wet firecrackers" can also express many meanings, such as "wet firecrackers-forbearance" (which means forbearance is also homophonic) and "wet firecrackers-the point will ring" (which is hopeless).
