What does "Huazi" mean in Hunan dialect?

In Hunan dialect, "Huazi" means "black sheep".

"Huazi" is a dialect word in northern Hunan, which is often used in a derogatory sense, with emphasis on "Hua" and long sound. The "zi" sound is light reading. The word comes from the Buddhist scriptures: "whoever is metaplastic, does not lack branches, dies without leaving a shape, that is, the so-called sudden birth and sudden extinction." The original meaning of this word refers to young people who died young, because in the custom of north of central Hunan, young people who lost their children should be buried in secret, which is considered unlucky. This is the same as "death is invisible" and "sudden birth and sudden death" in Buddhist scriptures. In the current dialect usage, "Huazi" is used to describe young people. People are not like people and ghosts are not like ghosts. Later, in Changsha dialect, it evolved into a censure title for close people. It usually means "black sheep", "worthless fellow" and "young people who make trouble"

With the popularization of Changsha dialect by Hunan Satellite TV, Xiang Jun and other media cultures, the universal scope of Changsha dialect has been greatly expanded.
