This Buddhist terminology was mainly used to criticize novels, poems, and so on (for example, Bai Letian said, "Having been absorbed in worldly literature, I have made mistakes to lure people by using 'Kyogen Kigo.' Recognizing such a sin, I would like to admire Buddhism and devote myself to enlighten people by delivering sermons in the next life.")
この語は主に小説や詩などを批評する際に用いられた(例願以今生世俗文字業狂言綺語之誤翻為当来世々讃仏乗之因転法輪之縁白楽天)。
