WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)

Direct spoken expression in this communicative setting.

💡 Cultural Insight: Cheng Jing (Becoming a Spirit)

In Chinese mythology and folk belief, animals that live long enough absorb cosmic essence and turn into spirits (成精). Colloquially, saying an animal 'has turned into a spirit' is the ultimate compliment for pets exhibiting eerily human-like cleverness.
