[mdzs] In depth analysis of Lan Xichen’s name

It’s been 2.5 years since my last MDZS name analysis(!!), and since then I’ve gotten so many requests from the fandom wanting to see more. So here’s to everyone who have enjoyed reading my posts so far - today I’ll be diving into Lan Xichen’s name. Sit back as this is an interesting one!

Lan Xichen is his zi ,or courtesy name, which means ‘chancellor of the morning sunlight’ (Xi 曦 - morning sunlight; Chen 臣- chancellor, minister).

It derives from the poem ‘Xian Qing Fu’ 《闲情赋》 (Ode to a Quiet Life) by Eastern Jin dynasty recluse poet Tao Yuan Ming 陶渊明. Tao is remembered for his appreciation of beauty and serenity of the natural world around him, often admiring the good of others and documenting his wishes for a peaceful and fair society. (NB: The majority of Chinese people would know of the phrase ‘世外桃源’ - Xanadu / fantastical place of great idyllic magnificence and beauty, which originated from him.) This particular poem is a long study on the beauty and virtues of an idealised woman, and is known today as one of the most iconic bodies of work celebrating a woman’s true inner qualities. “悲晨曦之易夕，感人生之长勤” (bēi chén xī zhī yì xī, gǎn rén shēng zhī cháng qín), translates figuratively to ‘it is regrettable that the light of this morning will soon be replaced by the dark night, reminding people that life is filled with endless fatigue.’

One can’t help but draw parallels to Xichen’s life - he was always a noble figure, approached people with sincerity, treated everyone with an equal level of respect and believed deeply in those he stayed close to. But life could not always pay back what he gave to others, as he learnt of his trusted friend Jin Guangyao’s corrupt ways and betrayal - the light that was replaced by darkness.

I find it fascinating how poet Tao’s perspective of the world is so similar to Xichen’s. Tao is known for spending much of his life in reclusion, living in the countryside, receiving only a few guests he had a strong bond with, reading and indulging in his love for poetry. As a talented and knowledgeable man, he spent a decade of his life as a politician - but soon lost faith in a system that was characterised by nepotism, violence, corruption and civil disorder. Torn between ambition and the desire to retreat into solitude, he chose the latter. I wonder if MXTX drew inspiration from this, as Xichen also began as a leader in the cultivators’ world, is a huge lover and collector of literature, and after all the turmoil also decided to withdraw into reclusion.

Xichen’s birth name is 涣 (Huàn), which has two main meanings: 1) ‘melting of snow’; 2) ‘water dispersing in all directions’. His title is 泽芜君 (zé wú jūn), which literally means ‘nourisher of barren lands’ (泽润 - to nourish, bestow; 平芜 - land overgrown with weeds). Combining the two, we can understand his name to mean ‘water disperses in all directions, nourishing everything it touches’. 泽 in Chinese is used specifically to describe bestowing something deep, long-lasting and meaningful (as supposed a one time gift/favour - which would be 惠). In the book, MXTX also describes him as “清煦温雅，款款温柔” (meaning ‘warm, gracious and elegant, gentle in all aspects’). Clearly, his name highlights the grace and kindness he radiates and bestows on everyone around him. He is the keeper of peace and righteousness.

Bonus:

Note that the word Huan 涣 has a water particle, similar to his brother Lan Wangji’s birth name Zhan 湛 - it brings to mind the ‘Twin Jades of Lan’ title for the brothers, with a water element - like Pisces.

Interestingly, in ‘I Ching’ or ‘Book of Changes’, the ancient Chinese divination text which contains of 64 hexagrams, there is a 涣 hexagram:

Again, it represents how gentleness can summon greatness. I copy the below from iching-online.com:

In simple terms, it symbolises water that washes away dirt and baptises new life within oneself. And the aftermath is precisely Zhan 湛 in his brother’s name, meaning crystal clear water.

you know what? it's still his birthday here, and i lov him

this has alt text. extended description below the cut.

Lan Xichen crouches by a cluster of pink chrysanthemum flowers, reaching out to delicately touch one of the blooms. His posture is relaxed, and his expression calm and content. The piece has a casual style and visible texture, with loose ink lines and rough coloured pencil shading.

"So much fuss!" Wen Qing protests, only half meaning it, as they take turns kissing her. Mingjue shuts the bedroom door with a click before taking his turn; Xichen moves away, presumably to unmake the bed; it’s almost like they’ve choreographed the dance.

"We missed you," Yanli says and moves in to kiss her as soon as Mingjue steps aside.

Wen Qing comes home from a conference and gets quite the welcome back.

Jadecest Video Edits on Bilibili

I dug up a bunch of Jadecest Video Edits on Bilibili today and added them to a playlist 😍 Some of them are very elaborate and I am so stunned how good they are!! Check them out, they are amazing.

Seems like there are a lot of fellow Jadecest shippers in China 🥰.

(And yes I know, not *all* of them are shipping videos, but they are just so good)

When I get into foreign media, one of the first things I do is study the names. Because being a nerd is fun.

My friend is writing extremely good Untamed fanfic, so I've spent the last week trying to figure out how to pronounce Mandarin. And then, despite the fact that y'all can just LISTEN to the show to hear the pronunciation, I decided to share my new knowledge.

I'm a historical linguist (I study how languages might have been spoken in the past) so I'm also including how these names might have been pronounced in Middle Chinese (4th-12th C).

We don't know exactly how things were pronounced then. But this story is set in vaguely historical fantasy China, so I want it to have some vaguely historical names.

Explanation of the symbols afterwards.

(The 'i's at the beginning of the last 3 are there to distinguish them from other sounds, but we don't actually know how they're pronounced. Same thing with all the extra 'j's and 'w's in the Middle Chinese transcriptions.)

Other Symbols

ˠ - say the sound while back of tongue is raised.

ᴴ, ˣ - the 2 marked tones of Middle Chinese (third 'tone' is syllables with 'p', 't', or 'k' at the end, final tone is unmarked). It's uncertain what they were, but the guess is 'ᴴ' was low and 'ˣ' was high.

ó, ò, ō, ǒ | ˧˥, ˥˩, ˥˥, ˨˩˦ - Modern Mandarin tones. I'm ADHD and can't hear my own tone and volume, so I am have no help for you.

短打 带点swb

最近氪星人的出现频率有点太频繁了，布鲁斯如此想。

蝙蝠侠在哥谭的阴影之间飞跃，分明是纯粹的人类，却那么矫健迅捷，像生来就属于天空。他余光里能看见自以为藏得很好的红披风在高楼间时不时露出一角，不远不近地跟在身后，让人心情烦躁。

初夏的温度令水汽蒸腾，笼罩在城市上空的阴云比平日更厚重，沉沉吞下哥特式的尖顶。连星辰都看不见一颗的坏天气，比太阳还耀眼的明日之子简直在自体发光，显眼到让今晚的夜巡几乎一无所获。他认真研究过氪星人生理，绝对不包括能发光的基因，所以今晚是怎么一回事？平时克拉克可不会让反派们也发现他的踪迹。

蝙蝠侠停在韦恩塔的滴水兽上，最高点总是让人心情愉悦，云雾缭绕的罪恶之城躺在脚底，是值得驻足观望的风景。他冷静地等待着，直到克拉克从角落里遮遮掩掩地飘出来，正对上蝙蝠侠不赞同的眼光。面罩上雪白的护目镜眯起来，布鲁斯审视着面前的氪星人。钢铁之躯脸上带着红晕，双手遮遮掩掩地背在身后的斗篷里，眼睛的眨动频率和视线落点都诉说着紧张，空气里还飘荡着一股极浅淡的香味……蝙蝠侠的表情凝固了。

不会吧？

氪星人从斗篷里掏出的一束花验证了他的猜想。但是、认真的吗？即便是小镇男孩，这种程度也有点过头了。克拉克显然并不觉得他的行为有多么严重，依然带着那副小记者式的阳光笑容，还有点羞涩和尴尬。

是的，你确实应该尴尬，布鲁斯在心里大声叹气，布鲁西宝贝什么没有见过？这场面他还真没有见过。给同性友人——应当算是友人——送红玫瑰，他确信地球上没有任何一个地方有这种习俗，氪星人也不应当。而内心不可言说的角落里，他又确确实实被取悦到了。那鲜艳欲滴的红玫瑰与迎风飞扬的披风相映如火，点亮了一整片阴沉的夜空。氪星人有着被形容为太阳神的面庞，就算是米开朗基罗也雕刻不出那样完美的线条，笑起来的时候比真正的神明更耀眼。没有哪个审��正常的人类能不被触动，蝙蝠侠亦然。

然而所有的波动都被严严实实地挡在面具之下，表面上的蝙蝠侠只是冷冷地注视着漂浮在半空中的人间之神，用眼神传达着质问。高处的长风席卷而过，此时只听得见斗篷在风中舒展的声音。克拉克心虚地下降了一点，红靴子尖点在滴水兽的头顶上，他用超级速度翻了一遍自己的记忆，决定长话短说

“我今天救人的时候被送了很多花，他们说这在东方是个类似情人节的日子，额、不过各种爱意都是可以的。我不太想浪费、“他磕磕绊绊的，说到这里时还特意把花捧得更近了一些，鲜艳的花瓣被氪星人的生物力场保护得很好，带着点露水，玫瑰甜腻的香气几乎让人发晕，迷惑着蝙蝠侠忍耐这个拙劣的借口。

“我送了戴安娜一束，但是她已经收到很多了，所以我们一起挑了开得最好的给你。”

“噢、”

布鲁斯发出一声意味不明的感叹，他没想到这事里还有公主的一份，女神友善又调侃的神情如在眼前。不过也不算太意外，小镇男孩自己可做不出这种事，他从前连女友都只敢送向日葵。克拉克说完以后脸更红了，布鲁斯有些好奇氪星生理构造，但凡超人从火场里救人时的脸有此刻百分之一的热度，他当初也不至于那么警惕这个外星人。

玫瑰确实很美，经过天堂岛女神和明日之子挑选的更是如此，他有些想知道克拉克会不会用超级视力、或者x视线来检查花朵的组织。克拉克在他的沉默中不由自主地飘起来一点，风中舒卷的披风像他的心情一样不安的摇摆。严格来讲他并没有撒谎，超级大脑容许他记住与戴安娜共同挑选的每一幕，那确实是满载着炽热爱意的红玫瑰。人们从不忌讳向神奇女侠和超人表达喜爱，蝙蝠侠付出的绝不比他们少，却执意把自己藏在阴影里承受恶意。接受这个行动计划固然有戴安娜的鼓动，但克拉克自己憋了满腔的话也是重要的原因。我爱你，我们都爱着你。他早就想这么说了。

不过现在的场面即使做好了心理准备，也实在是莫大的煎熬，拉奥啊，这可真是——

“这可不是你给搭档送这个的理由，童子军。”布鲁斯开口的时候换成了正常的声线，男人醇厚的嗓音里带着调笑的意味，特意在“搭档”这个词上加了重音，恶趣味满满。但这样的态度却让克拉克放松下来，他的笑容瞬间灿烂起来，甚至露出了那两颗尖尖的虎牙。布鲁斯几乎能幻视出他身后大型犬一样疯狂摇摆的尾巴。

该死的，这实在是太犯规了，布鲁斯简直想转身就跑。真诚的爱意是蝙蝠侠最不会处理的东西，而布鲁西只会逢场作戏。克拉克得寸进尺，睁大他无辜的狗狗眼装傻

“爱有很多种嘛，我不觉得有什么问题。”他飘得更近了，浑身上下都散发着与哥谭阴雨格格不入的阳光味道，和玫瑰花香一起动摇人心

“看在我和戴安娜挑了很久的份上，拜托了，布鲁斯，收下吧？”

布鲁斯瞪他

“蝙蝠侠不可能捧着玫瑰花夜巡。”

克拉克察觉到他的动摇，再接再厉

“我可以直接送到韦恩庄园，阿福会很高兴的。”

布鲁斯沉默了片刻，声音难以察觉地低沉了一点，听上去仍然漫不经心，就好像真的只是一个提醒

“你应该知道玫瑰喜光。”

他看过来的眼神意味不明，克拉克能想象到面罩后那双蓝眼睛，总是那么晦暗，沉淀着那么多复杂的东西，克拉克从未见过那样难解又迷人的颜色。

“哥谭不适合喜光的生物。”

噢，布鲁斯。这下克拉克也想叹气了，他总是这么固执。用这样的理由拒绝自己的帮助也就算了，毕竟占有欲十足的大蝙蝠也很迷人。但是拜托，这只是玫瑰花而已。就算再怎么珍贵，花费再多的心血，也比不上让布鲁斯多看几眼来得重要。克拉克这么想着，也这么说了

“那不重要。”他用那双含着星云的蓝眼睛盯着布鲁斯，像是要把彼此的心脏都掏出来连在一起

“我只想要你开心。”

布鲁斯像是被蛊惑了一样，伸手去触碰那双眼睛。克拉克屏住呼吸，一眨不眨地等待他的动作。战术手套上还沾着战斗留下的灰尘与血迹，锐利的爪尖能轻易划开人的血肉，狰狞无比。而太阳之子的蓝眼睛里满载柔软，浓密的睫毛轻轻颤动着，如同被上帝亲吻过一样圣洁。强烈的对比让布鲁斯的动作下意识顿住了，他回过神来，发觉自己的指尖也在不自觉地颤抖。他的动作一停，克拉克的眼底就自然而然地流淌出失望来，像被寒风无端席卷的春水，那么纯净惑人。谁能舍得让这样的人失望？但他不能。

布鲁斯最终只是叹了口气，锐利的爪尖轻柔而克���，缓慢地虚拂过那蝶翼般的睫羽。克拉克紧张得本能开启了透视，面罩下布鲁斯鬓角斑白，疲惫又坚定。他的眼睛同样是那么美丽的蓝色，却与克拉克毫不相同，那是无数个黑夜凝聚的坚冰，在破晓时涣散，呼唤朝阳的名讳

“克拉克。”他的指尖从唇角擦过，像一个亲吻

“我明白了，谢谢你。”但他的眼睛却在用岁月的悲哀诉说着不解。

克拉克想要争辩，却不忍心逼迫那轮伤痕累累的月亮，他正是被这样的困惑、危险与失败所打动，为这样的孤寂与黑暗而驻留，希望能修复这一轮蝙蝠月亮，他应当更有耐心。这已经够了，他劝说自己。

布鲁斯收回手，轻巧地从花束中拈下一枚花瓣，收回眼光不再看他

“回去吧。”

克拉克漂浮在原地，漆黑的斗篷在离去时扬起，袍角与鲜艳的红披风交织片刻，又很快松开，消失在哥谭的黑夜之中。他看见衣袍遮掩间布鲁斯珍重地将花瓣放好，甚至奇迹般的不曾损坏任何一个最微小的组织，像对待无价之宝，又像他对待每一件来着克拉克的馈赠一样。
