Fire in the nose(bí duān chū huǒ)

Fire in the nose

Pronunciation: B í Du ā NCH ū Hu ǒ meaning: describes high spirited; emotional. source: biography of Cao Jingzong, a southern Historian: "I used to ride a horse as fast as a dragon in the countryside. I rode with ten young generations. I stretched the bow string to make a sharp sound. The arrow was like a hungry roar. I chased the deer in pingze and shot it in the ribs. I was thirsty for its blood and its breast. It was as sweet as mannose syrup. I felt the wind coming from behind my ears and the fire coming out of my nose give an example to make a sentence: when I was a young chivalrous man, I would be angry. (comments on Su Shi's biography of fangshanzi by Shen Deqian in Qing Dynasty)
