下马酒之歌 (dismount wine song) - english translation
Lyrics by Cuifu (崔富), composed by Zhao Jinbao (赵金宝), arrangement by Lü Xuedong (吕学东), sung by Qi Feng (齐峰). This song was first released in Qi Feng's 2012 solo album 《多情的蒙古人》 (the sentimental mongolian).
The first embed is Qi Feng's performance. Of course, I've also included a cover by Jamyang Dolma (འཇམ་དབྱངས་སྒྲོལ་མ)
远方的朋友,一路辛苦
请你喝一杯下马酒
洗去一路风尘
来看看美丽的草原
远方的朋友,尊贵的客人
献上洁白的哈达
献上一片草原的深情
请你喝一杯下马酒
远方的朋友,一路辛苦
请你喝一杯下马酒
草原就是你的家
来尝尝香甜的美酒
远方的朋友,尊贵的客人
献上洁白的哈达
献上一片草原的深情
请你喝一杯下马酒
献上一片草原的深情
请你喝一杯下马酒
My friend from far away, you who've endured an arduous road
Please come drink a cup of dismount wine
Wash away your journey’s windblown troubles
Come and see the beautiful grassland
My friend from far away, my most cherished, honored guest
I offer to you this pure white khata
I offer a piece of the prairie’s loving soul
Please come drink a cup of dismount wine
My friend from far away, you who've endured an arduous road
Please come drink a cup of dismount wine
The grassland is your home and family
Come have a sweet taste of this fine wine
My friend from far away, my most cherished, honored guest
I offer to you this pure white khata
I offer a piece of the prairie’s loving soul
Please come drink a cup of dismount wine
I offer a piece of the prairie’s loving soul
Please come drink a cup of dismount wine
t/n:
下马酒 (dismount wine) is a Mongolian tradition of welcoming guests with a toast. Usually wine is served in silver cups, and before drinking, used to honor first heaven, then earth, then one's ancestors.
哈达, ཁ་བཏགས།, хадаг, or དར། (romanized as khata, khada, khadag, or hada) is a Mongolian and Tibetan ceremonial silk fabric used to express respect, congratulations, blessings, etc. The Tibetan word means "mouth" and "horse", as in the gift of this sash is equal in value to that of a horse. They are usually solid white, blue, or yellow, but there are also 5-color khata in blue/white/yellow/green/red, with blue representing the sky, white for clouds, green for rivers, red for dharmapala, and yellow for earth. The 5-color khata is considered the garment of bodhisattvas, and is only used in specific situations.
The color white in this cultural context is associated with horses, clouds, sheep/goats, milk, cranes, and mountain snow. It symbolizes purity, beauty, good fortune, and kindness.

What if after Xie Lian loses his bad luck shackle, after all the years he spent trying so desperately to be a good cook, he discovers that his cooking is actually really reaaallly fantastic. As if he had cultivated the skill all those years yet couldnt express it till now. Like to the point that it causes chaos in a new way. Food so excellent it ceases Feng Xin and Mu Qing's arguments, convinces Qi Rong to stop being a fucking cannibal, makes Shi Qingxuan ascend again, and lets Ling Wen relax for ONCE. Xie Lian sends the heavens in disarray once more via good soup 👍

Heaven Official’s Blessing except I haven’t read the book, remember nothing of the donghua, and saw a few spoilers.
Part 10! What a milestone! This comic was supposed to be a quick fun thing to do during summer vacations, and yet, here we are, almost 4 months later and going strong. Thank you all so much for your support!
As always, please, no spoilers in the replies or in the reblogs. I read all the tags, and I intend on reading the novels once I’m done with this serie. In this case, a spoiler would mean any sorts of correction regarding what I’ve put in this comic: I know I’m wrong, this is the point of this serie. (Character’s name or role in the story counts as well.) This includes spoilers from the donghua too! I haven't watched the new season.
