moshang is the winter, where no matter how cold mobei-jun is, he will still melt by shang qinghua in the end.
bingqiu is the summer, where even though shen qingqiu tells everyone and especially himself that he hates the heat that emanates from luo binghe, he still sees the world in more intense colors when he feels it touch his skin.
wangxian is the spring, where the peak of the peonies, the flower that wei wuxian gives to lan wangji, signifies both his “leaving with a heavy heart” and his lover’s “wish you return my feelings”.
hualian is the autumn, where the flower crown martial god reciprocates the crimson calamity by creating the procession between eroticism and devotion, just as the leaves that are stained in red consecrate falling as reborn.

How big IS Bichen, really? Bonus: Baxia
tl;dr Bichen is LUDICROUSLY huge, probably something to the tune of 5.5kg/12lb and towards the upper end of 1.6m/5′3 to 1.83m/6′0 - taller than MXY!WWX. Baxia would be something to the tune of 79cm/31″, but could plausibly be larger.
So Bichen is explicitly stated to:
1) Be carried on LWJ’s back (Novel, Chapter 14)
2) Be too heavy for non-cultivators to wield (Novel, Chapter 7)
On sword weight, generally:
Importantly: it is too heavy for a non-cultivator to wield, not pick up.
Because wield vs pick up are two very different definitions. I can pick up a 1.4kg/3.1lb German messer sword with no problem. Can I wield that thing? Not one-handed like it was meant to be, with my scrawny arms.
The upper end of usable weight for a regular human sword or polearm is around the 4.5kg/10lb mark, and I am pretty sure that's really only wield-able by someone who's already in decent shape, trained, and using it with both hands. 
It doesn't sound like much, but imagine swinging that much weight from one end of a 6ft/1.83m long barbell - since most of these weapons were 6ft /1.83m or longer - repeatedly, with enough agility and speed to not die in combat. Or better still - holding it above your head for a couple of minutes in a ready/guarding position.
Heavier swords and polearms did exist - for ceremonial purposes. They're deliberately designed to be ungodly huge and impressive, not for practical, combat use.
A sword that's too heavy for a non-cultivator to wield could just be something that's like, 5.5kg/12lb. Too heavy for them to pick up would be... look I'm scrawny as hell, I’m not athletic and I have joint problems, but using both hands, I can pick up at least 16kg/35lb no problem, probably north of that if I tried.
For a sword to be heavier than what an active non-cultivator can even pick up, so we’re talking north of 20kg/44lb, it would have to be made of depleted uranium along with whatever xianxia magic is going on with the sword. But too heavy for a non-cultivator to wield is entirely reasonable.
On cultivator swords:
I figure most cultivators would wield swords that are at the larger end of sensible to begin with, a little longer and heavier than they should be for the double-edged jian they’re shown using (extra cutting/penetration power in their favour! And they have the strength to negate the extra weight making it less agile and more tiring!). Say, 80cm/31″ and 0.9kg/2lb, for the average cultivator. 
This would be well within “strap it to your hip and call it a day” length - and frankly strapping it to your back is not a great idea unless you absolutely cannot find a better way to carry that kind of size and you’re sure you don’t need it quickly, because there’s - not really a good way to unsheathe it as quickly if you do. Frankly I don’t think this was really done historically unless you were like, transporting gear, and didn’t expect to be attacked at that moment - even the famous giant-ass Zwëihanders weren’t back-strapped into battle situations.
On  Bichen specifically:
Tumblr media
Now consider how big a sword it has to be that LWJ, 1.88m/6′2 tree, goes “... nope, I can’t possibly hip-strap this” and straps it to his back.
Supposedly, irl jian got up to 1.6m/5'3, though this wasn’t very common. The average height of a Chinese man born in 1810 - the earliest date with data - is 1.66m/5'5, and this stayed pretty consistent for a long time, which means the 1.6m/5'3 jian was most likely constructed with a roughly 1.66m/5'5 wielder in mind.
Tumblr media
So according to the historical record, LWJ could wield a 1.6m/5′3 sword and be within the bounds of what was done historically.
Or, if he got it when he was at or nearing adult height, our boi could decide to leverage his probable future height and strength into wielding an obnoxiously huge sword for maximum possible reach and stopping power. 
Bluntly - Bichen could easily be 1.83m/6′0 and still make complete sense from a historical perspective - an exceptionally large sword made for an exceptionally tall and physically powerful individual.
And from a weight perspective? Let’s compare a hypothetical 1.83m/6′0, 5.5kg/12lb double-edged jian to a cousin, size-wise:
The Zwëihander, which ranged from between 1.4m-1.8m/4′7-5′11, and something to the tune of 2.5kg-4kg/5.5lb-8.8lb. Bichen would actually be heavier than its hypothetical German counterpart, which is saying something, because at those lengths the Zwëihanders have MASSIVE crossguards and are often intended to be half-sworded - you grabbed the blade about halfway up to better control the point and say, drive it into a joint in the armour.
I would compare it to the odachi, but 1) that’s a single-edged blade, and I don’t know enough to say if the weight will differ 2) I cannot find any solid info for how much a 1.8m long odachi would weigh. Claymores - yep, ditto. I can’t dig up info quickly enough.
tl;dr Bichen is probably 1.83m/6′0 and north of 5.5kg/12lb - it’s taller than MXY!WWX and weighs more than a small dog. No wonder he has to back-strap it.
Now, remember that incense burner scene? Yeah, now remember that Bichen is quite likely as tall as WWX is.
---
Bonus: Baxia!
On a side note, the art of Baxia in the MDZS official artbook looks like it's based off the 大刀 da dao, lit. Big Saber. Yes, very creative naming. The da dao is also surprisingly short, going off the specimen in the British Imperial War Museum which is a grand total of 79cm/31″, but given that these are 1) cultivators 2) NMJ 'actual ox' rather than relatively short interwar-period Chinese (when this originated), just like... add 15cm/6″ or something to the length I guess if you want.

I'm on vol 2 and I gotta say, it's almost as hard for me to deal with how in love Mu Qing and Feng Xin are with Xie Lian as it is hard for Mu Qing and Feng Xin to deal with it. The way they just cannot stop
It's hilarious except it's also way too tragic

whenever I think about hualian raising a child, I picture someone with the same desire to help ordinary people as xie lian, the same loyalty that would make him choose to fall alone to protect those he loves as hua cheng, and the determination of both to never change his essence. he would have the same soft eyes as xie lian, but with the same sassy smile as hua cheng and their both natural inclination to gossip. he would do well with the saber, and he would be able to shoot arrows at the target with his eyes closed, all thanks to his godfathers, mu qing and feng xin, but if he couldn't fight using any of those weapons, he would be able to reinvent himself and win fame for a technique rooted in the melody of a flute, as gentle and powerful as xie lian, but with hua cheng's authority over the deads. he would wear black because xie lian thinks the hue looks good on his loved ones, but with hua cheng's crimson accents, and he would excel in the mortal realm as much as his parents excel in the celestial realm and the ghost realm respectively. and, oops, I think we're looking at wei wuxian.

hi! :) back again searching for grandmaster of demonic cultivation fans to rp wangxian with me! particular searching for a top lan wangji for my bottom wei wuxian. i have a couple of ideas that we can flesh out, i am partial to omegaverse/mpreg but it's not necessary, i just really crave some domestic plots with them rn, especially them as parents (because i love dadji) and smut can be included. i can range from semi-adv. lit but i do like two paragraphs minimum. my main platform is discord so you can add me @ eming, or just like this and i will reach out! thanks ❤️
like if you're interested and anon will get back to you!
