lung hia Pronounced roughly "loong-hsyah," a contrived
compound whose literal meaning is "dragon
shrimp." Probably does not usually = freshwater
crayfish, but = lobster. [Chinese] Leang, 1878:201;
Yutang, 1972:421. The "crayfish" in the following
quotation is probably an inaccurate translation of the
word: "'Da long xia!' cried the same voice ... describing
officials in terms of large crayfish." (Ludlum,
1986:454). Note that the "da" = "large." Note also
that "crayfish" is said to be used as a term of scorn or
derision in China, probably because of the backward
mode of locomotion. Spelled also long xia, lung xia
and shia. See camaron reculador, crawdad (verb,
sense 1), crawfish (verb, sense 1), crawfish policy,
