Firefly / Glow Worm
螢 is the Chinese, older Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja way to write firefly, lightning bug, or glow worm (Luciola cruciata).
Note: After post WWII language reforms in Japan, they started using a more simple version of this Kanji. This version is shown to the right. If you want this modern Japanese version, please click on the Kanji to the right instead of the button above.
Divine Light
líng guāng
This Chinese word means "divine light".
This can refer to the glow or halo around the Buddha. It can also be a miraculous column of light.
In slang, it can be like saying "jolly good!".
Firefly / Lightning Bug
yíng huǒ chóng
螢火蟲 is a very verbose Chinese title for a firefly, glowworm, or lightning bug.
The first character, 螢 means firefly or glow-worm by itself. This title adds the character for fire (火) and bug (蟲).
