The Chinese characters 雀 meaning is sparrow.
The sparrow is a short-tailed bird, as compared with 鸟, a long-tailed bird. The sparrow is designated by the ideograph: 雀, literally small bird - a fitting symbol for anything insignificant and unworthy. Hence the proverbial reference to the irrational trouble-shooter. “He uses cannon to shoot a sparrow.”
