Ancient Philosopher on Prayer

“Pray all you want - heaven can't hear you.

It's not going to stop the winter because you are cold, and it's not going to make the Earth smaller because you don't want to walk so far.

You pray for rain and it rains, but your prayer has nothing to do with it. Sometimes you don't pray and it rains anyway. What do you say then?

If you want to have a better life, educate yourself and think carefully about the consequences of your actions.”

-- Xun Zi, 312-230 BCE

My Dear Guardian 7-8.5

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: the Flaming Heart (cdrama); Descendants of the Sun (kdrama); Light Chaser Rescue (cdrama); DDay (kdrama); You Are My Hero (cdrama)

Depends on how you watch this one you will either love it or hate it. I fast forward through many parts which made this one a much more enjoyable drama. In fact dare I say leaning towards my favorites list. It has a fantastic storyline, it’s just bunched together with a lot of unnecessary filler stories. Granted they’re written very well just drawn out and not necessary at all. There two characters I do have to say that will grate on anyone’s nerves. One screaming all the time the other just being an idiot in ?love?. Nevertheless both main leads with excellent and I really loved the overall storyline immensely.

Welcome to the 'Best Character with [X] surname' polls!

This is where I take several characters from different Chinese media (mostly cnovels and cdrama) and run a poll on which one is the 'best'. What does best mean? It's up to you! Whether you love them, are intrigued by their characters, love to hate them, or they're your '2 second blorbos whose personality you made up wholesale', these are all reasons for you to vote for your favs!

NB: the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often they will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.

If you can't find a surname, it's because I couldn't find enough candidates (at least 3 from 3 distinct medias) to compete. Feel free to submit candidates!

I will be posting several polls at a time, so do come back and check this masterpost to remember which polls are ongoing, who the winners are, and who's coming up next!

Finished polls: Xing/Rong/Nan/Ren/Pan/Qu/Fu/Sui/Tan/You/Sima/Xuan/Chang/Xun/Shangguan/Jian/Qian/Shu/Xi/Yuwen/Cai/Sha/Yin/Ceng/Helian/Zeng/Lou/Mi/Ji/Ping/Tong/Tuoba/Ge/Murong/Hei/Niu/Tao/Si/Pang/Zi/Gongsun/Mao/Qing/Lian

NAKU 🫵

[pleasecallmealsip]

the sword of yajiu

by Bai Juyi (mid-to-late Tang Dynasty poet, 8th and 9th Century)

歐冶子死千年后 A thousand years since Ou-ye Zi had died,

精靈暗授張鴉九 His soul, in gloom, for Zhang Yajiu did guide.  

鴉九鑄劍吳山中 And Yajiu forged a Sword among Wu hills,

天與日時神借功 From Heaven borrowed time, from gods their skills.

金鐵騰精火翻焰 Flames fluttered, ores’ and irons’ spirits soared

踴躍求為鏌琊劍 A Moye Sword they leapt up and restored.

劍成未試十餘年 The Sword spent ten years idle, and then some,

有客持金買一觀 Before a Guest paid sums to have a look.

誰知閉匣長思用 The case, alas, stayed closed in want of use;

三尺青蛇不肯蟠 The three-feet green snake dared not leave its nook.

客有心　劍無口 The Guest had a spark, the Sword bore no mark,

客代劍言告鴉九 The Guest spoke Sword’s words, plead that Yajiu hark:

君勿矜我玉可切 “Boast not, sir, stones of jade that I can slice;

君勿誇我鐘可刜 Gloat not, sir, heavy bells that I can maul;

不如持我決浮雲 Do better, hold me, cleave the clouds adrift,

無令漫漫蔽白日 Their boundless blinds from bright of sun dispel.

為君使 無私之光及萬物 Your selfless glow shall I expand to all

蟄蟲昭蘇萌草出 Those hibernating wake, and sprouts propel.”

Ou-ye Zi was a swordsmith in the state of Yue in the Spring and Autumn period. The Yue-jue Shu (available only in Chinese, sorry) said that when Ou-ye Zi worked, the Mount Chijin pried itself apart, and tin arose within, and the brook of Ruoye stopped in its flow, and copper arose within; and Master of Rain poured water to clean any dirt, and the Lord of Thunder blew the winds and raised the fires; and aquatic dragons held up the furnace, and the Lord of the Heaven filled it with burning coal; the Laws of Tai-yi descended unto earth, and all essence of the world were bestowed unto the sword.

Moye, his daughter, was also a swordsmith, and she and her husband Ganjiang made swords on the orders of He Lü, the king of Wu, and the swords bore the names of this couple. All three swordsmiths names later became references to great swords that required great wielders. Several stories existed to explain what happened to this couple and their child later on. These were retold in the 20th century story "Forging the Swords" by Lu Xun, the English translation of which can be read in pages 43 through 53 here.

If Zhang Yajiu actually existed, he might have been a contemporary of Bai Juyi’s. Not much about this swordsmith is known.

Green snakes were often a metaphor for swords. The Emperor Gao of Han was said to have slayed a white serpent as he rebelled against the Qin dynasty, and Bai Juyi described the action as “beheading the white snake using the green.”

Among the Miscellaneous Chapters of the Book of Zhuangzi, the sword befitting a Son of Heaven was said to be able to cleave the floating clouds above and penetrate every division of the earth below, and

Let this sword be once used, and the princes are all reformed, and the whole kingdom submits. 

Bai Juyi, along with his friend and fellow poet, Yuan Zhen, wrote a series of poems in the more ancient Yuefu style, whose explicit goals were to provide, in cryptic words, social commentary and sympathy for people from all walks of life. Bai wrote 50 poems to this purpose; The Sword of Yajiu was the penultimate. In the preface to all 50 poems, Bai stated the thoughts that drove each piece, and the one for the The Sword of Yajiu was "to think of breaking through blockage and gloom".

[dramaddict-and-proud-of-it]

The Romance of Tiger and Rose

Year : 2020 | Country : CN | Nb of episodes: 24

My rate: 5/10

Synopsis :

Having finally sold her TV series script, aspiring screenwriter Chen Xiao Qian soon falls under the scrutiny of the male lead, who refuses to act out the role. Vowing to make her script successful, she starts re-writing. While napping, she is transported into her own story, becoming the Third Princess Chen Qian Qian, a side character. Armed with the knowledge of her own script in which her character is soon to be killed in the third episode by Prince Han Shuo, the male lead, Xiao Qian is determined to stay alive and find her way back home.

Main cast :

Zhao Lu Si as Chen Qian Qian/ Chen Xiao Qian

Ding Yu Xi as Han Shuo

Zhou Zi Xun as Chen Chu Chu

Sheng Ying Hao as Pei Heng

My thoughts on this drama :

What drew me in in the first place was the beautiful OST. I was not that much interested in the synopsis at first and almost dropped it right after the first episode. I'm no fan of Lu Si, that I always found annoying. She overacts. Her facial expressions are always exaggerated...Her voice is also a pain to my ears. A pity she is in so many Xianxia I've seen these past years... the girl is everywhere, seriously...  Moving on... Once the story actually starts, it gets better. It is slightly illogical, there are a lot of WTF moments too... Our male lead is cute. His acting is not the worst I have seen either, but that's far from top-notch. I would not rewatch it. Good thing there aren't a lot of episodes.

A Favorite ?
