#xian le 4

[halamir-heartsawakened]

So 👀 Xian Le 4 as an idol group.

They were pretty big when they debuted. Young, talented and handsome boys full of dreams and endless bursts of energy, everyone thought they would reach fame in no time... But the industry is known to be the worst kind of environment for youngsters, so harsh, so ruthless.

Not even a year had passed when the members started to struggle really bad with all the gossip, all those awful rumors. They fell apart.

Mu Qing used to lash at their stuff, he'd get soo angry after hearing them bad mouthing their group, his reputation was in ruins after that.

Feng Xin suddenly appeared with a woman who was pregnant??? HOW?? the boy who feared being near women?? no way. As you can see, it was a BIG SCANDAL.

Xie Lian was framed. He was the it-boy, so beautiful, with the voice of an angel and the charisma and stage presence of a star. Everyone loved him... well.... not everyone. Lots of other idols were envious of him, so they decided to ruin him, making him seem that he was involved with drugs and the mafia. It was absolute chaos.

Nobody knows what happened to Red. He was the youngest and the most silent of the four. Some fans believed he wasn't even part of the group to begin with. So, when he disappeared nobody thought about him.

It was really bad, but you know what they say, time heals everything.

Mu Qing became a famous model, with lots of contracts and brand deals, his face EVERYWHERE. His attitude didn’t improve but being in the fashion world, it was expected from a top model, so people didn’t care anymore.

Feng Xin re-started his career as an actor. His new fans didn’t care that he was a father at such a young age. In fact, it was celebrated if you know what I mean (hot actor daddy? oh.)

Xie Lian didn’t know how, why, where, WHEN, but a happy accident that was captured and uploaded in twitter went viral, MILLIONS OF VIEWS. It was incredible and catched  the attention of an agency managing youtubers. He ended up being featured in lots of Chuu Can do it videos. Those two were a sight to see, people loved them and the channel grew lots.

There was this new soloist, people were going crazy, LIKE INTERNATIONALLY. Hua Cheng was a really tall and handsome guy, with a strong presence and killing voice. He was mysterious and out of reach, his fandom was getting bigger and bigger with each passing day. HE WAS THE PRIDE OF THE COUNTRY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. but, nobody knew about his beginnings…

Well, everyone was surprised (to say the least)  when they heard that THE famous Hua Cheng wanted to be featured in one of xie lian's shows.... oh, what’s going on??

if someone wants to write this au, pleaaase tag me!!! i don’t know how to continue

[mxtxfanatic]

Xie Lian doesn’t fucking change in his beliefs or morality from beginning to end of the entire book. He almost loses himself in book 4 but is brought back from the brink by Wuming (Hua Cheng), prompting him to vow to never lose himself again. All of the suffering he experienced after his first ascension? A direct result of his unchanging beliefs, as stated directly by Guoshi:

“He had always been setting riddles for you to test you,” Head Priest said, “The Human Face Disease of Xian Le was the first question. Based on his answer, as long as you chose to unleash the Human Face Disease against Yong An back then, then you would’ve passed. Not only would he not have banished you, he would even help you cover up, and truly turn you into his trusted heir, taking one step to reach the top of the heavens while taking two steps against it. But you’ve answered wrong.”

“The period when you were banished, he should’ve set another riddle for you, but you still didn’t give him a satisfactory answer, so the moment you ascended, you were immediately beaten back down.”

...

“The second time you were banished and drifted in the mortal realm, he had countless opportunities to slowly ‘educate’ you, slowly wait until you’ve changed your mind.” Head Priest said, “Based on my observation, he was already calmed down at first, but this calm was disrupted recently.”

“The reason being your third ascension.”

“If you were a puddle of rotten mud, then whatever. But you, even after you’ve become like that, completely ignoring everything he’s planned for you, you actually were still able to ascend for the third time, and still the same as before, completely unchanged... I don’t know what he thought when he saw you, but I felt he would definitely set out more riddles to test you.”

—Chapt. 220: Heaven Official's Blessing The White Emperor Sets Life and Death Riddles in Secret, fan translation

Guoshi also had this to say about why Jun Wu made the type of choices he did in setting up these “riddles”:

... “Besides, as long as you start doubting yourself, doubting your true heart, your actions and objectives, then it’d be easy for him to lead you in the direction he wanted.”

“If you thought: ‘I am the Crown Prince of Wu Yong’, the possibility of you repeating his fate would be greater. He was leading you proactively, hoping to make you walk the same paths he did, so it wasn’t that your paths were somehow destined to be similar.”

“He couldn’t tolerate how similar you both were, but walked different paths.”

Xie Lian and the Crowned Prince of Wu Yong lived similar lives and had similar aspirations, but the moment the Crown Prince of Wu Yong faced an insurmountable problem that brought his entire kingdom to ruin, seemingly by his own hand, he could not handle it. He did not want to acknowledge the failure as a failure of self but as a forgone conclusion of human nature, that others would rather do immoral things to save their own lives or reputations or status and, therefore, nothing good can or should be done to help anyone else, especially not at the risk of any of those three things. Xie Lian, however, comes and proves him wrong by choosing to sacrifice himself over and over again for the benefit of others, even as they turned on him. White No-Face even tries to twist Xie Lian’s nature against him by sacrificing him against his will when he set Xie Lian up in that cave with the human face disease. But the moment Xie Lian is given a choice again, that is still the choice he makes, himself.

Jun Wu cannot stand that someone who has faced the same adversity as him would still hold tight to his morals, because Jun Wu ultimately hates that he could not hold to his own morals under the same pressures. This is why he manipulates every facet of Xie Lian’s post-first ascension life to play into this ultimate tragedy, to force Xie Lian into making the same decision that he feels like he was forced to make however many years prior. But what Jun Wu failed to realize but Xie Lian did is that even if every action is not met with resounding success, that does not mean that the action in and of itself was worthless or a waste of time. A failure to achieve one’s goals does not have to be a personal failure or a failure of the ones you tried to help; sometimes shit just happens! There is still good in doing good even without acknowledgement. Even being beaten at Jun Wu’s hands, Xie Lian continues to refuse Jun Wu’s path:

[Jun Wu] laughed maniacally then dragged Xie Lian and slammed him towards the rocks, smashing as he yelled, “WILL YOU CHANGE? WILL YOU CHANGE? WILL YOU CHANGE??”

It was as if Xie Lian had gone mad too, and he gripped Jun Wu’s arms roaring, “I WON’T! I WON’T! I WON’T CHANGE!!!”

Even though the smashing was making him see stars, incomparably painful, but he held this breath in stubbornly, refusing to give the desired answer at all, and cried as he roared, “I JUST WON’T CHANGE! EVEN IF IT’S PAINFUL I WON’T CHANGE, EVEN IF I DIE I WON’T CHANGE, I WILL NEVER CHANGE!!!”

—Chapt. 239: Heaven Official's Blessing Crack the White Armour; Fantastic Magic Shattering the Cursed Shackles

Xie Lian believes that his every kind act, regardless of the outcome, was still worth it, and that is the difference that drove the two men’s wildly different life paths.

Los nombres de los Cinco Furiosos

Tras la película de Kung Fu Panda 4 me dio por pensar como sería las primeras conversaciones de Zhen con los Cinco Furiosos. Me la imaginé nerviosa por causar una buena impresión pero encajando bastante bien con la dinámica del grupo dada a su actitud pícara y disfrutando junto a ellos de sus aventuras estableciéndose una relación de confianza. Lo que me llevo a un pensamiento ''¿ Ella al querer conocerles más les preguntaría cuales son sus auténticos nombres?'' .

Esta teoría lleva años rulando en el fandom pues se dice que sus nombres en realidad se refieren a sus estilos de lucha o a su especie ( así como al Maestro Buey, Cocodrilo o Rhino) pues los que conservan dentro de esta disciplina su nombre propio son aquellos que tienen un rol superior como Oogway, Shifu o Po y los que no tienen un titulo como Zhen o Tai Lung.

Bien, pues decidí que les buscaría un nombre adecuado para cada uno, que encajase con su físico o su personalidad, fáciles de recordar y que fuesen distinguibles entre ellos ¡let's go!

Mantis: Xun Yu ( veloz jade )

Con Mantis tuve claro que no quería buscar nada que tuviese que ver con su tamaño pero si quería destacar sus habilidades más potentes como su velocidad. De ahí surge su primer nombre, Xun . Su segundo nombre, Yu (Jade), es por su color verde aunque este puede significar también ''insecto'' dependiendo del kanji con el que se escriba. Mi idea es que Mantis se autodenomine como ''el rayo verde'' haciendo referencia a su nombre real.

Grulla: Zimo ( tinta refinada )

En un comienzo quise que su nombre estuviese relacionado con el cielo o el aire dada a su especie aviar o a sus técnicas pero me hizo pensar que una de las cosas que más me llama la atención de este personaje es su interés por la caligrafía china. Por ello, me decante por nombrarle Zimo (tinta o escritura) para reflejar su amada afición en su nombre.

Mono: Wong Sang ( morera amarilla )

Para Mono investigue sobre su actor de doblaje, el mismísimo Jackie Chan, cuyo nombre de nacimiento es Chan Kong-Sang. Quise tomarlo como referencia cambiando el nombre de Kong pues es el nombre del hermano de mono por Wong (amarillo) relacionándolo al color de su pelaje. Quería hacer una referencia a su faceta cómica pero me no encontré ningún nombre adecuado a las pautas que había asignado.

Víbora: Jia Ling ( bello cascabel )

Al igual que con mono, investigue sobre su actriz de doblaje, Lucy Liu, cuyo nombre completo es Lucy Alexis Liu Yu Ling. Quería reflejar su personalidad encantadora y dulce por lo que tome de referencia el nombre de Ling (tintineo) por el siseo que esta produce al ser una serpiente además de por su actitud alegre. Pero su primer nombre sería Jia para enfatizar la belleza de este personaje.

Tigresa: Xia ( amanecer )

Para ella pensé en profundizar más sobre su historia y su desarrollo como personaje para así darle el nombre adecuado. Esta es su historia:

Cuando Tigresa vivía en el orfanato recibió el nombre de Xian por parte de los demás niños ya que este significa "aquella que vive en reclusión" perpetuando su desprecio y miedo hacia a ella. Cuando Shifu finalmente decidió adoptarla, tras haber escuchado muchas veces ese nombre casi siempre acompañado de la palabra "monstruo", le pregunto que nombre nuevo deseaba para ella. Esta aceptaba simplemente el de Tigresa pues no creía que pudiese merecerse un nombre. Shifu reflexionó y decidió ponerle el nombre de Xia. Tigresa al principio le disgusto esta idea pues sonoramente era parecido al anterior pero Shifu le explico su elección. Ambos nombres aunque parecidos no poseían mismo significado pues ahora ella ya no estará más en la oscuridad recluida y sola sino que tenia la oportunidad de una nueva vida, un camino marcado por la luz desprendía de ella, un nuevo amanecer.

Así que sí, Zhen preguntaría sus nombres a los cinco furiosos dándose la situación de que Po se entere en ese mismo instante. Todos excepto Tigresa responderían a esta pregunta ya que para ella sigue siendo un tema muy personal relacionado con su pasado y con Shifu y aún no se siente cómoda como para compartirlo con todos ¿puede que sí pueda con cierto panda?

For eight hundred years, Hua Cheng searched for Xie Lian. He must have burned a million sticks of incense in that time, just hoping even one would reach his god.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/35412889

Xie Lian develops amnesia after Wu Ming dissipates. Wu Ming drifts after him, reforms, and takes care of him.

———

“You went through… some awful things,” Wu Ming says, obviously choosing his words carefully. “I think your mind is responding this way to protect you.”

Xie Lian nods. That sounds realistic, with what he knows. “I still wish I could remember,” he sighs. Does he have a family? Friends? Does he have duties he’s neglecting?

“If gege will let me,” Wu Ming says, “I’ll stay with him until he remembers.”

https://archiveofourown.org/works/35388859/

Deep in the heart of the city of ghosts, a chisel breaks stone. Alone in the candlelit studio, Hua Cheng bows over the remaining boot and chips away slivers of veined marble. The sculpture is nearly finished, has been for weeks. The details he cuts into the lower foot now are so fine as to be invisible if viewed from any further away than a single step.

Above it, ornate robes are swept back on a frozen wind and a sword halfway from its sheath cuts across the sculpture’s waist. With its weight perched on the front foot as if a breath away from leaping and the candelight rosy across its cheeks and brow, the sculpture looks as if it is only a heartbeat from life. Except—

Hua Cheng takes a step back, tilting his head to survey his creation from toe to brow.

A blank face stares down.

•••

Hua Cheng emerges from Mt. Tong’lu looking for someone he cannot name, cannot place, cannot picture. For centuries, he chases fragments of memory—until he stumbles upon a cultivator in white who might be the answer to the questions he has carried for eight hundred years.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/21824215

Every year, a ghost king roams the night in search of lost souls and leaves only destruction in his wake. Every year, Hua Cheng's temples are burning.

Or: a story in which Xie Lian is a Devastation, Hua Cheng is a Heaven Official, and nothing is what it seems.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28339443

Wearing a face that is not his own, dressed in a red tunic and simple boots, Hua Cheng comes face to face with the love of his life - and forever after - for the first time in two hundred years.

Or, the one where Xie Lian is also a ghost.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/21228929

“You,” she snarled, like she would say ‘garbage’ or ‘trash’. “You, of course, will never marry. Who would marry a monster, ah?”

“As if I want to get married anyway,” he mumbled angrily.

***

A story in which a ghost is very, very gay and very, very in love - so much he follows along without a protest when the object of his eight hundreds years old affection decides to get married out of the blue in the middle of ghost hunting mission. After all, it’s not like Crimson Rain could ever refuse anything to His Highness the Crown Prince of Xian Le anyway.

Or: a fanfanfic of Naamah_Beherit’s ‘take my hand, take my whole unlife too’ from Hua Cheng POV.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/25199491?view_adult=true

Have you ever read Book 4 and thought, "Wow, this is really fucking sad. Wouldn't it have been great if things had gone just a little differently?" Do you love Wu Ming and wish there had been more of him in the novel? Are you a fan of pining, slow-burn, and hurt/comfort tropes?

If so, then this might just be the fic for you~

https://archiveofourown.org/works/24323563

After a shocking experience with his god on Beizi Hill, San Lang must process the blossoming new layers of his feelings for Xie Lian. If he's truly lucky, then he might even be able to make himself useful to his treasured person.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/18980143

The man standing over him has eyes like knives, sharp and cold and black.

“There are no masks allowed in the Ghost Fortress, Heavenly Official,” he says. His voice is polite, but it too contains knives.

Hua Cheng can appreciate that. A blade is a blade is a blade. Sheathed or pressed to one’s neck, it is still just as sharp. There is no use pretending it is anything otherwise.

The man in front of him is a blade held up to Hua Cheng’s heart, though perhaps he does not know it yet.

Here are the recommended fics, put it in an ask so it’s easier to deal with, please enjoy

🧀🐀🧀🐀🧀🐀

Thank you so much for all those recs of Hua Cheng POV, I am so grateful for it, I already read half of them! Seriously, thank you so much!!!

About tgcf (Heavens official blessing)

A novel from MTXT, it's a global phenomon that gained adaptations in the form of: manhua, dongha (second season soon), audiodrama and live action (still in production)

We follow the story of Xie Lian (in the gif), a formor crown prince of the kingdom of Xian Le. As a formor martial god, he used to live on Earth until one day he ascended for the third time ( :0 ) and has to help the heavens to pay his debt caused by the damage of other heavens officials during XL ascending (have I mentioned XL is known for being extremelly unlucky?)

During the first arch we meet some other characters and get to know better the world of tgcf: The calamities and other officials

Pay attention to these names cause you'll see them a lot: Nan Feng, Fu Yao, Hua Cheng, San Lang, Mu Qing, Feng Xin, Jun Wu, Pei Ming, Ban Yue...

There are five original books, but they are a fast read when you're invested (like I was)

Without adding spoilers, you will see the mysteries of this world and their characters get untagled throughout the archs, you will be surpised with the character developments and the major plot twists

A soft bl story, their love story is definetely one of the most beautiful ones I have ever read about, it's really deep and true, (oh to have a relationship so faithful like theirs!)

But bear in mind that it's not all fluff, the characters stories are really complex, there are even some TW for major injuries, su!c!d3, g3noc!d3, and gor3. Rember folks, our xie lian is a martial god, he's super strong and is a specialist at swordmanship.

I guarantee, it's a balanced read (excpet book 4, oops) with amazing lore, powerfull battles, a little bit of comedy, romance and quite suffering.

*image from the manhua, available on billibilli

If you're interested, I don't recommend searching more about it on tags, otherwise you'll get spoilers!!

In the US there's already official publications of the novel, but not in south america (as I'm aware of). I believe plenty of countries in Europe already have their official books.

Hope you enjoyed it and that you'll become a fan of this amazing series!

*pardon me if I made some grammar mistakes :)

[progetto-geografia]

Xi’an

Iniziamo dicendo che il Mandarino è la lingua ufficiale di tutta la Cina.

Si trova 16 ore e 35 minuti da noi ed è 7 ore in avanti nel fuso orario.

Cosa dire per rappresentarlo meglio?

Come tutta la Cina il capodanno lunare é la festività più importante per i locali cioè Il Capodanno Cinese, anche detta Festa della Primavera, che cade tra la fine di giugno e la metà di febbraio e dura ben tre giorni.

Cosa vedere a Xi’an? Dei consigli?

1 ) L’esercito di terracotta

2 ) La grande Moschea

3 ) Mura della città

4 ) piccola Pagoda dell’oca Selvaggia

5 ) Torre della Campana e del Tamburo

1 L’esercito di Terracotta

L'Esercito di Terracotta, si trova nel distretto di Lintong a circa 35km dal centro della città ed è parte del grande mausoleo del Primo Imperatore Qin Shi Huang.

La città è diventata famosa in tutto il mondo proprio per la presenza di questo sito archeologico che attira ogni anno milioni di turisti sia dalla Cina sia dal resto del mondo.

Essendo molto frequentato in molti rimangono delusi dalla confusione che spesso si può trovare, ma il consiglio è quello di arrivare lì la mattina presto all'apertura quando sembra esserci meno gente.

Qui si trovano circa 8000 reperti tra soldati, arcieri, armi e bighe che hanno più di 2000 anni di storia e sono il frutto di lavoro di più di settecento artigiani dell'epoca.

Dal dicembre 1987 il Mausoleo del Primo Imperatore e l'Esercito di Terracotta sono Patrimonio dell'Umanità dall'UNESCO.

2 La grande Moschea

Durante la dinastia Tang, l'Islam venne introdotto in Cina dai mercanti arabi che commerciavano con quelli dell'impero cinese. Sembra, quindi, che la Grande Moschea di Xi'an risalga al 742 d.C. sebbene abbia subito diversi lavori di restauro nel corso degli anni.

Ciò che rende speciale questo luogo è la perfetta combinazione tra architettura cinese tradizionale e architettura islamica. Tutta l'area della Moschea copre un'area di 13000 metri quadrati ed è composta da quattro cortili progettati seguendo lo stile cinese. La sala della preghiera non è visitabile e solo i fedeli hanno accesso.

4 mura della città

La cinta muraria di Xian permettono, dopo diversi lavori di ampliamento e di restauro, di fare il camminamento di ronda tutto attorno. Ogni 120 metri circa si può trovare un bastione, vale a dire una delle torri da cui i soldati facevano la guardia e avvistavano i nemici.

Fare una passeggiata sulle mura è sicuramente una delle attività più raccomandate a Xi'an e vi permetterà di vedere la città da un'altra prospettiva. C'è anche la possibilità di fare il percorso lungo le mura affittando una bicicletta che si può prendere direttamente sopra la cinta. Uno dei momenti migliori per fare questo tour, sia a piedi che in bici, è sicuramente quello del tramonto quando la vista da lassù regala colori stupendi.

5 torre della campana e del tamburo

Nella maggior parte delle città cinesi antiche possiamo trovare una Torre del Tamburo e una Torre della Campana che venivano suonate durante il giorno per scandire i momenti principali della giornata (come l'apertura o la chiusura delle porte di ingresso alla città) o per ricordare momenti importanti dell'anno, come ad esempio, l'inizio delle stagioni.

Questi due monumenti di Xian si trovano molto vicini l'uno all'altro e sono davvero spettacolari grazie anche ai lavori di restauro a cui sono stati sottoposti. Purtroppo però i due edifici, ma specialmente la Torre della Campana, hanno perso parte del loro fascino a causa dello sviluppo urbano circostante: la Torre si trova al centro di un incrocio trafficatissimo!

Cosa mangiare di tradizionale?

Roujiamo (hamburger di carne)

Yangrou paomo (pane pita inzuppato nella zuppa di agnello)

Tagliatelle Biangbiang (tagliatelle con carne di maiale stufata e tagliata a mano)

Liangpi (tagliatelle fredde)

Youpo mian (tagliolini all’olio)

Zenggao (torta di riso)

Huluji (pollo a forma di zucca)

Ravioli di zuppa

Guokui (pane secco)

Back when the kingdom of Xian Le was in its prime, it was a lustrous nation that valued appearances and prestige  above all else.

1. Wretched Care May 2024, Hualian (more on technically Wulian)

A newly formed wrath’s hands shake as they hover over a bloodied altar.

So I seem to really like explaining the scene in the first (few) lines, which I didn't really expect since I find it rlly cool when people start off with quotes
