Gu Huo 蛊惑 Bewitch/ Enchant - Chinese, Pinyin & English Translation

Hi, here are some references and elaborations :)
00:55
迷雾 refers to a thick and misty fog; a metaphor for things that confuse people with one of the meanings of 迷 is literally 'to bewilder/ confuse'.
01:06
江湖 literally means 'rivers and lakes' and refers to the world of martial artists. It is sometimes also used in real life to refer to society in general (though it's mostly within idioms or quotes from my experience).
01:31
质朴 describes a natural state, specifically a person's naivety/ innocence.
02:13
婀娜 is used to describe the graceful posture of slender plants such as willow branches, and is also used to express a woman's gentle grace.
02:17
翘楚 was originally used to refer to a certain type of tree that stood taller than other trees. Later, it was used to describe a person of outstanding talent.
03:09
牵肠挂肚 is an idiom that first appeared in the Yuan Dynasty work 《冤家债主》and can be used to describe intense uneasiness and worry for someone. The phrase's literal meaning (just from the characters) is 'to be led along by the intestines and suspended by the stomach'.
03:14
蛊 (in this case) is a type of venom-based poison from legends. Basically a mix of different venoms from creatures such as snakes, insects, etc concentrated into the body of a larvae. In folklore, a gu spirit is able to transform into different animals mostly snakes, scorpions, centipedes, pigs, etc. and cause harm/ manipulate to others.
