Despite being suggested by MC Truong Giang, the player still could not give an answer. The audience present in the studio also had to… give up on the difficult question.
If you also do not have the answer, you can refer to the program’s answer: OIL LAMP.
“Black head like a crow” refers to the mouth of the lamp due to the burning of the fire for a long time, so it becomes smoky and turns black. “Skin is white as cotton” refers to the body of the lamp with a transparent glass shell. The body of the lamp bulges in the middle and tightens at the bottom, so it matches the “back of the neck” suggestion. The bottom of the lamp is designed to store oil to help light the lamp.
An oil lamp, also known as an American lamp, is a type of lamp that glows by a flame burning with kerosene. The oil lamp was invented by a Polish in 1853. The lamp has an oil bulb made of glass or ceramic. The lamp has a wick that is woven with cotton yarn, the lower part is dipped in oil to absorb the oil to the top. The upper segment protrudes completely from the bulb and is usually adjusted in length by a system of knobs.

When ignited on the protruding part of the wick, the oil soaked in the wick will burn and produce a yellow flame. When the oil burns, the capillary phenomenon inside the wick will pull more oil from the bottom of the container to the top to continue burning. The size of the flame is controlled by adjusting the length of the raised wick. The knob and wick together with the shaft rotate a metal gear with teeth embedded in the wick thread. As a result, the wick is pulled up or down depending on the direction the crown is turned.
The flame of the lamp is protected by a glass cover. The purpose is to avoid being blown out by the wind, to avoid causing a fire, and to increase the flow of air supplied to the fire by the thermal effect. Oil lamps can have an odor if the fire is not ignited, usually due to improper use or contaminated oil.
Nowadays, except for remote areas without national electricity grid, kerosene lamps are no longer a common means of lighting in Vietnam. However, oil lamps are still placed on altars in families or pagodas to “keep the fire” and to use fire to burn incense during rituals or anniversaries. Antique oil lamps also become a hobby for those who like to collect objects.
