Abstract

This article presents a stylistic analysis of the gastronomic metaphors “烫手山芋” (tàng shǒu shān yù) and “陈谷子烂芝麻” (chén gǔzi làn zhīma). It explores their meanings in economic texts, their usage, emotional coloring, and both positive and negative connotations. The study also examines the literal meanings of these expressions and how they have undergone metaphorical transformation.
