Gambit openings for black recommendation?

I recently started to learn chess, but I play mid to advanced Chinese chess. So to get the most out of transferable skills, I would like to avoid positional/pawn play, but prefer aggressive openings to bring non-pawns into contact very early.

I tried a bit with King's Gambit and Smith-Morra for playing white. What are the aggressive (gambit?) defense lines for black against 1.e4 and 1.d4? Are there early gambits that are easy to reach but hard to decline, even if in theory white's better?

Thanks.
