"Calabash Brothers" and "Calabash Little King Kong" can be said to be the childhood memories of every generation born in the 80s and 90s. Each calabash boy has extraordinary abilities and fights against the snake spirit one after another to save his grandfather. But looking at it today, this anime has a different meaning.
In "The Calabash Little King Kong", the Calabash Brothers turned into seven-color peaks and suppressed the Snake Spirit and the Scorpion Spirit. The Snake Spirit's sister Green Snake knew this and was very angry and vowed to avenge her sister and brother-in-law. So he tried every means to dig out the Seven Color Peaks one by one, grabbed them one by one, and threw all the seven gourd brothers into the alchemy furnace.
Although the Calabash Brothers turned into Little King Kong in the end, do you know how the Calabash Brothers were caught?
Da Wa Hong Wa, he has infinite power and can grow to a huge size, but he was eventually caught by the snake spirit who used money to channel his spirit. The black hands in the money's eyes symbolize greed and desire for money.
The second child, Chengwa, has clairvoyance, ears for the wind, flexibility, intelligence, and extraordinary agility. Although he was aware of everything and could see everything far away, his eyes were fascinated by the evil wind of the snake spirit, and his eyes were blinded by the evil wind.
Three babies and yellow babies, with bronze heads and iron arms, steel bars and iron bones, invulnerable. The snake spirit tried many methods but failed to subdue him. Finally, the snake spirit put small shoes on him. Now Huang Wa had no way to escape and was caught by the snake spirit. Just like in reality, no matter how upright a person is, he will get into trouble as long as he is reported on or has his personal vendetta reported.
The fourth green boy is proficient in squirting, but he needs to absorb enough water first. The snake spirit takes advantage of this and fills him with dirty water, corroding him from the inside. Some people say that this symbolizes the harm and impact of environmental pollution on people.
Qingwa, also known as Wuwa, has the magical power of breathing fire. The Snake Spirit devised a plan to let Huo Wa cook a big pot of rice. The big pot of rice symbolizes egalitarianism in distribution. This approach suppresses people's enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity.
Lan Wa, also known as Liu Wa, has the ability to become invisible. Aren't you going to be invisible? I'll put a little tail on you and a big hat for you to hide!
Qiwa Ziwa has a treasure gourd that can inhale magic, weapons and monsters. The snake spirit and scorpion spirit are also sucked in by him. Although the snake spirit cannot defeat him from the outside, she can do it from the outside. This also tells us to be careful. Only the internal construction of the team can improve the team's combat effectiveness.
Snake spirits and scorpion spirits represent the hearts of snakes and scorpions. As long as the seven gourd boys unite as one, they will surely be able to defeat the evil tendencies of the snake spirits and scorpion spirits.
