烟火

• Pinyin: yān huǒ
• Desglose de hanzi: 烟 = 火 (fire radical) + 因 (phonetic/cause — smoke caused by fire); 火 = pictographic (upward-leaping flames)

Significado

fuegos artificiales; (fig.) calidez de la vida cotidiana

放烟火 / 烟火表演 = fireworks display. In literary and cultural usage, 烟火气 means the warmth and vitality of real, everyday life — as opposed to something cold, abstract, or other-worldly. 不食人间烟火 = to be so refined or remote as to seem entirely disconnected from ordinary human life. A rich phrase in both festive and literary registers.
