antithetical couplets
chinese couplets for tgcf/mdzs/svsss/2ha in that order (elaboration below):
仙花垂怜,川城倾谢
陈情一曲,忘羡无羁
秋霜垣断,洛水河绵
玉衡微晚墨夜燃,棠雨渐宁苍生渡。
elaboration
tgcf : huacheng x xielian
仙花垂怜,川城倾谢
xiānhuā chuílián, chuān chéng qīng xiè
Heavenly flowers empathise and shed mercy; entire rivers and cities bow down in gratitude.
mdzs : lwj x wwx
陈情一曲,忘羡无羁
chénqíng yī qū, wàngxiàn wú jī
I lay out my resentments and play a piece on Chenqing; I forget my covetings of the world and go out into the wild, untamed.
svsss : lbh x sqq
秋霜垣断,洛水河绵
qiūshuāng yuán duàn, luòshuǐ hé mián
In the autumn frost the walls fall down; in the Luo River the waters flow, unabating.
2ha : mo ran x cwn
玉衡微晚墨夜燃,棠雨渐宁苍生渡。
yùhéng wēi wǎn mòyè rán, tángyǔ jiàn níng cāngshēng dù
The Yuheng star, Alioth, of the Big Dipper dips slightly and burns in the ink-like night; the Haitang flowers rain, gradually calms, and ferries all mortals across the raging seas.
antithetical couplets, or alternatively, the lack thereof. these are known as 对仗 (duì zhàng) in chinese (similar to 对联 duì lián、对偶 duì ǒu you may have heard of), where the number of characters in each phrase are the same, while the position of the noun in the first part of the couplet equates the position of the noun in the second, the verb the verb, the adjective the adjective etc. there's also this thing called 平仄 (píng zè) in which the tonality of the first and second parts of the couplet has to be opposite (terrible explanation sorry for butchering it).
they aren't strictly 对仗 here. words like 绵 is more an adjective than a verb, while 断 is a verb. the 平仄 for the last one (2ha) should work alright, i didn't bother for the other four-char phrases.
Italicised words delineate main character-related words in chinese. It all began with Nirvana in Fire jingsu's "年景靖好,岁月长苏" (nián jǐng jìng hǎo, suì yuè cháng sū) which I loved to bits, and that led to me coming up with all these (very flawed) couplets stringing together character names and relevant things.
rough english translations. again i linked some of the words together in pinyin for easy understanding but officially they should be written apart.
reposted from ao3 on which i have not really written anything.

陈情令 | The Untamed/Chén Qíng Lìng | ʈʂʰən˧˥ tɕʰiŋ˧˥ liŋ˥˩ | ʈʂə́n chéeng lèeng (ɖˠiɪn dziᴇŋ liᴇŋᴴ | ɖeen dzyeng lyèng) 魔道祖师 | Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation/Mó Dào Zǔ Shī | muɔ˧˥ tɑʊ˥˩ tsu˨˩˦‧ʂʐ̩˥˥ | mwó tàhw tsǒo-ʂʐ̄ (muɑ dɑuˣ tsuoˣ‧ʃˠiɪ | mwah dáhw tswó-shee)
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.

-
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.

Proud Author of a New Work
~*~
Proud Author of a new work here! I am also liverbiver9 on AO3. For pride month, I decided to write a Jiang Yanli-centric time travel au/kidfic, fit with genderqueer Wei Ying and a transmasc OC, where she goes back in time, adopts Wei Ying as her son, and goes undercover in Nightless City to take down Wen Ruohan before the Sunshot Campaign even starts. It is fully written at ~20k and updates twice a week for the month of June. Happy Pride!! @liverbiver9
後悔莫及 (Too Late for Regrets)
by liverbiver9
T, 10k, WIP, Jiang Yanli-centric
Summary: Jiāng Yànlí dies and wakes up outside Lotus Pier fifteen years before the Massacre at Nightless City. Armed only with Chénqíng and her wits, she attempts to change the events that led to so much death, at the cost of never seeing her family again. She doesn’t expect to find love along the way.

[Image ID: Wei Wuxian and Shen Qingqiu sit on the floor of the jingshi, chatting animatedly. There is a table between them which holds two cups of tea, a stack of books and scrolls, chénqíng, and a jar of multicolored butterflies. In the background there is a small kitchen, in which stand Lan Wangji and Luo Binghe, silently watching a pot on fire. /End ID]
My first prompt finished for SVSSS Gotcha for Gaza!! This one's for @benthic_izles on Twitter - thanks so much for donating! I hope it turned out well 🌸 the husbands are certainly attempting to pamper them

My Neighbor Dragonji
My Neighbor Dragonji by Lycan Sakura
A My Neighbor Totoro inspired AU.
Huli Jing Wei Ying and his son the neko Wei Yuan just bought and moved into an old abandoned house close to a small village. The plan for the move was so A-Yuan could grow up safe from the hunters that are always after magical creatures to up their own magic. One day when A-Yuan is playing in the part of woods they own, he meets the fierce, but kind dragon Hangguan Jun who protects the area, but is so rarely seen that he's considered a myth. A-Yuan wants his new friend to join the family and maybe help look after his Baba, who tends to always forget about himself. But how long are Wei Ying and A-Yuan really safe when hunters still want the power of the fearsome Yiling Laozu and can they even beat a dragon to get to him.

        陈  情    chénqíng  –  to  explain  a  situation  or  opinion  in  full  detail.
Tumblr media
        hello!  this  is  a  somewhat  slow,  and  highly selective wei  wuxian  of  MXTX’s  novel  MDZS.  i  follow  novel  canon  very  closely,  and  will  prefer  it  over  other  adaptations(  though  i  love  them  all  dearly  ).  minors  will  be  blocked,  and  personal  blogs  rbing  my  hcs  or  replies  will  also  be  blocked.  i  am  crossover  friendly,  and  don’t  mind  duplicates  in  the  slightest.
est. may 2020 / remade august 2022
RULES BELOW THE CUT
       lovingly affiliated with:  hanguanqin
            Hi  there,  I  go  by  RHYS.  They  /  Them  pronouns.  I  am  an  artist,  and  i  struggle  with  anxiety  and  other  illnesses.  I  also  work  when  I  can.  So  i  tend  to  be  pretty  sporadic.  I  can  get  to  things  very  quickly,  or  very  slow.  Nothing  against  any  one  person.  I  just  write  when  I  feel  like  it.
I am 29 years old, and I sleep a lot!!
  I  am  mutuals  only  in  regards  to  threads,  and  require  plotting  to  write  anything  at  length.  however,  I  do  accept  asks  from  anyone  and  everyone  that  wishes  to  send  them  in.  This  is  for  my  own  comfort.  So  do  not  get  impatient  with  me  or  push  me.  I  will  block  you  the  moment  you  do.  I  have  a  life  outside  of  rp,  and  I  need  that  to  be  respected.
  PLEASE  I  ask  that  people  be  patient  with  me  in  character  and  ooc.  I  am  always  happy  to  talk,  and  plot  with  people,  but  I  can  be  pretty  slow  with  that  too.  Either  because  I  forget,  or  just  don't  have  the  energry  to  do  so.
  Themes  here  will  absolutely  include:   suggestive content , murder,  blood,  torture,  body  horror,  war,  necromancy and undeath,  manipulation, alcohol,  teeth,  gore,  and  more.  each  will  be  tagged  accordingly.  if  i  ever  need  to  tag  something  in  particular,  like  a  ship  or  a  character,  please ask  me.

Lán Wàngjī: "Wèi Yīng, do you know the time?"
Wèi Wúxiàn: "hand me Chénqíng and I'll find out."
*Lán Wàngjī hands Wèi Wúxiàn Chénqíng, he plays it*
Jiāng Chéng: *shouting from elsewhere* "Wèi Wúxiàn, why are you playing your flute at two in the morning!?"
Wèi Wúxiàn, to Lán Wàngjī: "it's two in the morning."

A lot of people seem to forget that the only thing Wei Wuxian actually named himself was Chénqíng. Suíbiàn was named that because Jiang Fengmian thought it would be funny.

THE SPIRITUAL TOOLS
Tumblr media
裂冰 – Lièbīng
Liebing ("fractured ice") is Lan Xichen's xiao, a Chinese end-blown vertical flute. Xiao are usually made of bamboo, but Liebing is made of white jade. When not in use, it hangs from Lan Xichen's waist (or, in the drama, is probably kept in a qiankun sleeve).
Liebing in Mo Dao Zu Shi wiki
Tumblr media
忘机 – Wàngjī
Wangji ("free from worldly concerns") is Lan Wangji's guqin, which is a plucked, seven-stringed Chinese zither. Wangji is black, decorated with engravings. Lan Wangji carries the guqin on his back (or in his qiankun sleeve).
Wangji in Mo Dao Zu Shi wiki
An interesting post about guqin (and Lan Wangji) by @farmerlan
Tumblr media
陈情 – Chénqíng
Chenqing ("to explain matters fully" or "old relationship") is Wei Wuxian's dizi, a Chinese transverse flute. It is made of bamboo and is ink-black (in the drama, with red specks), decorated with a red tassel. Wei Wuxian likes to carry Chenqing tucked into his belt, when he's not twirling it in his fingers.
Chenqing in Mo Dao Zu Shi wiki
Good meta on the meaning of "chenqing" by @hunxi-guilai
Tumblr media
紫电 – Zǐdiàn
Zidian ("purple lightning"), is a powerful magical tool given to Jiang Cheng by his mother, Yu Ziyuan. It is a ring (in the drama, a ring attached to a snake bracelet), that transforms into a whip when unleashed. Jiang Cheng wears the ring on his right index finger.
Zidian in Mo Dao Zu Shi wiki
Nice meta on Zidian by @hunxi-guilai

a note: I do think that I might have made some of the soft tones into third tones by accident D: (specifically “zi”... I can never tell when zi is third tone or soft tone rip) and I had to look up tone sandhi rules, because I uh, do it by instinct and then second-guessed myself HAHA. I hope I haven’t made any major mistakes or led you astray. /o\ other native speakers please...... feel free to point out any errors........
anyways!! everyone has been really really sweet about my voice?? DDDD: im really glad you guys like it because haha, these posts are very long lol. one of my friends said i use an asmr voice at the beginning of my audio posts and now I can’t stop hearing it i really do huh sldkfjsl should i do asmr audio posts lmfao
