ALT A copy of The Way Spring Arrives and Other Stories with half of it balancing on a brick wall and grass and daffodils under the other half.
I wonder why there’s not that much fiction/YA series about Chinese ancient deities 🧐
My last series Necropolis Immortal (free on @Wuxiaworld_Ltd) made the deities an integral part of modern history, but most books seem to mention them in passing
Is it the pinyin that’s odd?
Bonus: traditional Taiwanese theater that happened to be playing at the same time. The place was absolutely PACKED, watch the performance @ instagram.com/p/DJPHXGjhAUz/
I feel this is an underrepresented part of Chinese culture in modern culture export, so worth a watch!

Here’s a real life adaptation of big weddings in Chinese period dramas!
Friends of mine got married & this decor was a rare treat. It’s limited to fiction settings in modern times & don’t seem common in xianxia/wuxia either 🧐
Luckily, @Wuxiaworld_Ltd has a ton of all genres 😆
Here are some of the plants that I’ve kept alive over the years, def envy those with a green thumb!
It’s kinda hard to imagine going from this to the plant spirits in xianxia novels, esp with Li Hao doing some major exploitation in Star Gate atm 🤣 Baby General Pagoda, anyone?

What a fantastic breakdown, especially mapping it to actual dramas to make it clearer.
Those who get hooked through web novels might often be confused by the genre names thrown around, especially as @Wuxiaworld_Ltd focused a ton on xianxia in the early days hehe 😆
Confused by Chinese fantasy genres in CDramas? They can be a bit tricky to navigate, and even seasoned drama producers sometimes get them wrong.
Let’s break it down! 👇

Dangkang(當康), also known as the Tooth Pig(牙豚), is one of the mythical beasts in ancient Chinese #mythology and is considered a symbol of abundance and prosperity.
When Dangkang appears, it enjoys dancing while calling its own name, "Dangkang, Dangkang." The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" states, "In Qin Mountain, there is a beast. It resembles a pig but has teeth, and its name is Dangkang. It calls out its own name, and when seen, the world will be filled with great abundance.(欽山，有獸焉，其狀如豚而有牙，其名曰當康，其名自叫，見則天下大穰 )"

This is definitely the worst I’ve felt since the 921 earthquake nearly tenth years ago (7.6, epicenter closer to center of island). Everyone I know is fine, though some folks have suffered property damage. A cracked toilet is the most hilarious that I’ve heard this far.
Taiwan Earthquake Latest: At least four people are dead and dozens have been injured after a magnitude-7.2 earthquake struck Taiwan on Wednesday morning.
