[marquisguyun]

I couldn't pick one for the ask game so here are two!

🌤️ and🌧️ please

Okay, so I've made sure none of these WIPs are anything that has an anon period, but I still had a lot of options to choose from! (Also it's amazing how much i managed to overthink this lol but it was still fun!)

🌤️Share your favorite piece of dialogue from your WIP. This is from a Bingqijiu omegaverse fic!

"We could have camped and avoided all of this," Shen Qingqiu grumbled. "The last time someone suggested camping you said that you 'weren't some Bai Zhan or Ku Xing disciple to deprive yourself of comfort when there was a perfectly good inn and the coin to pay for it,'" Yue Qingyuan reminded him with a smile. He got a playful swat of Xiao Jiu's fan for his efforts. "Do you remember everything I say?" Shen Qingqiu asked. "Most things, shidi," Yue Qingyuan agreed.

🌧️Share something angsty from your WIP.

Okay, this is long but oh well! Good angst, hopefully. From my "Lang Qianqiu looks under his guoshi's mask before he buries him" AU

"Xie Lian isn't going to ascend again," Lang Qianqiu said darkly. "He's dead." The laughter of the other officials cut off immediately, and the silence that followed was heavy. "Dead?" Ling Wen asked, always seeking to make sure her records were the most complete. "Your Highness is sure the Crown Prince of Xianle is dead?" "Of course I'm sure," Lang Qianqiu bit out. "I killed him myself!" "You--!" a voice called from across the hall. That was General Nan Yang, Lang Qianqiu thought. He'd not made trouble with the martial god of the southwest in the years since he'd ascended. He knew there was little chance that the general had flaunted the rules of the heavens to help his former prince get revenge on Yong'an. But he'd kept his distance, not willing to make friends with a god from Xianle. "How dare you??" "Your prince massacred the royal family of Yong'an when I was seventeen. I was well within my rights to take his life in return." Lang Qianqiu bit out. "General Tai Hua," a deep voice called from across the hall, and whatever Nan Yang may have said in response was cut off. The Heavenly Emperor stared at Lang Qianqiu in a way that made him feel like a weight had settled on top of him. "Is the Martial God of the East familiar with the way cursed shackles work?" Jun Wu asked. "No, my lord," Lang Qianqiu admitted, unsure of where the emperor was taking this. Around him, the murmurs of the other gods and officials told him that he was not the only one ignorant of this. The emperor sighed. The hall fell silent once more, all attention focused on Jun Wu. "A god who has been banished is not the same as a mortal, even a mortal cultivator. His divinity is bound, which is the main function of the shackles, but there are... side effects." An uneasy mutter spread across the hall at those words. Gods didn't exactly like to consider what it would be like to be banished, even if they never thought it would happen to them, and side effects sounded particularly ominous. Still, Lang Qianqiu wanted to know. If Jun Wu had brought it up, there must be a point to this. "What side effects?" Lang Qianqiu asked. "A banished god cannot die under most circumstances," the emperor said, with an even tone that belied the horror of his words. "They can be killed, yes, but they will recover in time. So tell me, Prince of Yong'an.... how did you kill your guoshi?" All of the blood drained from Lang Qianqiu's face. His mouth hung open, but he couldn't form a single word.

Thanks for the ask!

The Chinapuri finale and its montage aka censorship who?

I decided to do all of this in one post and read more, so that the 95% of my followers who are uninterested on this particular drama/source material can easily skip it. Here are 7 relationships showcased in the montage ranked and 2 bonus (a family relationship and an extra). 

Note: I’ll speak about the relationships as they were portrayed, whichever the form of relationship chosen to display in this version. Also, I’m glad that everyone was aged up in this version, kinda wild but very much appreciated that some of these actors are my age or somewhere around there lol 

#7 Lu Xia (Echizen Ryoma) and Qi Ying (Ryuuzaki Sakuno) 

This drama was a bit more romantically-inclined in terms of these two than the anime/manga was, but some of that may be also influenced by them giving their version of Sakuno more room (which yay!) and having them be older. 

For this to stand alone as a drama, it was a needed step, I believe. I found Lu Xia to be more vulnerable than Ryoma, he doesn’t feel quite as ~cool~ and it doesn’t take away from the character that he has moments showing internal struggle (in tennis as well as at home). These two were sweet and adorable, which gave the drama probably more of an expected appeal for a wider audience, to make it stand on its own as a drama and not only an anime adaptation. 

#6 Yan ZhiMing (Inui Sadaharu) & Liu Lian (Yanagi Renji) 

Kinda mad they didn’t do this for Fuji (Zhuo Zhi) and Saeki (Zuo Xiaohu) but they did good with these two. I didn’t know at first why they started to build up their relationship so early, but it ended up being a good emotional plot point during their match, which is, as we all know, a determining factor in Seigaku’s (Yu Qing) win against Rikkai (Hai Guang). 

I don’t remember being as invested in their match in the anime as I was here, maybe I was just too focused on the Fuji match at that time, but what they did to build that game as a decisive point in the season finale was so well developed, I was impressed. 

#5 He XingLong (Kawamura Takeshi) & Ya JiuXin (Akutsu Jin) 

This is a relationship that can get complicated and even problematic if handled incorrectly. Akutsu’s journey through the anime is pretty long and takes a while for him to be on a healthier place, but the added element of aging the characters could have gone really wrong here if they had done him exactly as in the anime or manga. I think they did pretty well with the time they were given, showing his turmoil and learning curve. 

XingLong was allowed to have a more in-depth journey being older and about to graduate, it made more sense for him here to think about his career at this stage and added the gravity of this being THE moment to decide whether to keep pursuing the sport or take over his dad’s restaurant (they even adapted the type of food they cook to match the cultural impact of the family-owned business, which was great). 

I think the two complemented each other really well and worked interestingly together, in a way I didn’t think the drama was gonna give them time to do, so I’m really pleased. 

#4 Qiao Chen (Momoshiro Takeshi) & Zhang BaiYang (Kaidoh Kaoru) 

My younger self is thriving with this one being included tbh. These two were so much fun in the anime, two rivals and opposites that represented the future of the team upon their elders leaving. 

I was surprised to see them so focused here, because it’s not a relationship most adaptations put emphasis on (their loss), but it paid off immensely by the time their game against Bunta and Jackal (Jin WenTai & Ke Jie) came around. 

Kaidoh is a tough one to adapt most times, and they did him so well in this one, I think this is my favorite live action Kaidoh in any adaptation, and I’ve watched a whole bunch of tenimyu in my day. They really captured the ambiguity of his character, how he balances a tough exterior with a sensitive core. Qiao Chen maintained his feelings for Xu Xingzi (Tachibana Ann) but that didn’t stop them from showing these two every time they could. 

#3 Mu Siyang (Tezuka Kunimitsu) & Ji Jingwu (Atobe Keigo) 

Oh, these two. Hyotei (Xing Yao) wasn’t featured as much as one would probably expect (I’m a Fudomine fan and with Yu Feng I got more than I even was expecting, but I admit Hyotei is a riot and I always live my best life when they show up). Still, they did the Tezuka/Atobe match justice and then some. 

Mu Siyang was incredibly compelling as Tezuka, and had a vulnerability to him that made me worry for his health more than I probably did for his anime counterpart. Maybe also the fact that he was older than his anime version yet looked younger than him made it sink more that his injury was something to worry about. I wish we had time to include anime!Tezuka’s issues with yips with Siyang, because I know the drama would have pulled it off, but that was further down the line in the story. Maybe for a season 2. 

Anyway, the Atobe/Tezuka game is one of the best games in tenipuri history and the drama knew it. The game felt like it earned its gravity with the development of both Siyang’s injury and Ji Jingwu’s determination to play against him. Then they sprinkled the camp on top, as the anime does, with Ji Jingwu paying for his every expense and calling him to get updates, which is 100% canon compliant imo. 

I feel like Ji Jingwu didn’t have enough room to be as much of Atobe as he could be, but then again, that’s not easy for anyone to pull off. Not even Kato Kazuki can do Junichi Suwabe as well as Junichi Suwabe.  

#2 Bai ShiYan (Yukimura Seiichi) & Tian ZiLong (Sanada Genichirou) 

So, it’s tough to feel for Rikkai (Hai Guang) at this point of the story. You learn about Yukimura’s health and it’s difficult, but you just met them and the first impressions haven’t been great. 

However, the relationship between Sanada and Yukimura has always been something pivotal for the way the team is constructed (they were named that way for a reason, two parts of a same hero and all that) and they sustain the team in a way other teams don’t have to. They are the mom and dad of the team, the coaches, the leaders and the pillars. They have a balance of severity and permissiveness, of strictness and instinct. They are like a couple who has been married for 25 years. 

How on Earth, I asked myself, will they achieve that with censorship on the way? I don’t know, but they did it, the mad bastards. 

It really does come through 100% the importance of their relationship and the way in which the captain’s health affects the team and, more than anything, their vice captain. It reaches a crescendo during the final match, before ShiYan’s operation, and they manage to pull it off with the time they have. 

Also, their scenes are like shot for a contemporary romance drama and I appreciate that vibe. 

#1 Tang JiaLe (Kikumaru Eiji) & Chi DaYong (Oishi Shuichiro) 

Oh boy. Look. I still own Golden Pair merchandise from my Days, ok? These two hold a special place in my heart. I saw actors who portrayed them grow up, succeed and pass away, sadly. I still sing Depend On Me sometimes. There is a cheerful vibe with these two, a sense of overcoming obstacles and finding balance, I don’t know. Fuji is my favorite character but these two are special in their way. 

This freakin’ drama just went full on Golden Pair. The level of content was off the charts. The moment they came on the screen, the second they talked about their doubles, it was already setting the tone of how deep their relationship was going to go. I am a bit amazed that they avoided to get closed down for this ngl. And I appreciate the risk because it paid off.

They have a body language communication that is captured in every shot. Even when they’re not the focus of the scene, they’re close, touching or holding each other, arms around each other, hands on each other’s shoulders, grabbing each other’s clothes. When they fight, that language changes drastically, and the distance they take feels intense and cold. You go through it with them and the team shows it as well. There’s an entire episode I had screencaps of and never posted when the team falls apart because they do. 

My favorite part, though, ironically, isn’t what they did with them together but what they did with them apart. They took time to develop them as individual characters with their own issues, their fears, their worries and weaknesses. They were allowed to be flawed and wrong and have to mend their ways. 

What really got me and impacted me deeply was the fact that they chose DaYong to talk about mental health. They gave room to speaking about the physical implications of anxiety disorders and about how self esteem issues can give more magnitude to ongoing issues with your mental health. Again, the age of the characters being changed helped add a depth to some issues that get developed with more intensity in a drama of this kind, and the way in which it takes TIME to get resolved, it isn’t a one episode thing, it’s an underlying issue that spans the season...*chef’s kiss* 

Even though there’s a specific tenimyu incarnation of these two that I hold dear and will always remember fondly, I think that Xu Ke and Zhu ZhiLing are the most successful and best portrayed live action Golden Pair I’ve ever seen. 

Bonus that was in the montage but it’s specifically about a family relationship: The Zhuo Bros

I have said Fuji has always been my favorite and his relationship with Yuta as an older brother (albeit he’s not the eldest sibling like me) is one I always felt close to. 

In the anime, the two have a rocky relationship that gets developed throughout, but the drama is very good at establishing not only Zhuo Yu’s (Fuji Yuta) self esteem issues, the subsequent use of that Guan Yue (Mizuki Hajime) does and Zhuo Zhi’s (Fuji Syusuke) attempts to breach the gap between the siblings, they also use it to develop Zhuo Zhi’s character and his reticence to show weakness. 

It’s tough to get Fuji towards a place of vulnerability without breaking character, but they used family and the care he provides to his brother as a point to further his story, and I appreciate that a lot. They managed to build Zhuo Zhi up with this sibling bond as one of his core elements, and that gave a lot of dimension to his games and his character. 

Bonus that wasn’t in the montage but I’m including in some capacity: Mu Siyang (Tezuka Kunimitsu) & Zhuo Zhi (Fuji Syusuke) 

I thought these two deserved a place in the list, even if they weren’t grouped much in the montage, because the drama did make them share moments together that I feel gave more depth to their characters. 

There was a very interesting moment in which they showed Mu Siyang and Zhuo Zhi establishing their differences when approaching tennis, and how serious Mu Siyang is about taking the team to victory. I think that strengthened the character as a captain to me, in a way that shows it rather than tells it, and allowed for his guidance to still be present when he wasn’t physically there. His determination ultimately influenced Zhuo Zhi to take things more seriously, and that was a pretty interesting development to see. 

All in all, I should, at some point, go and do a serious review for MyDramaList but I wanted to leave in my blog how much I appreciated this adaptation. I wasn’t expecting much and I was delivered everything.

Hello, Imperial Palaces in Beijing - Short

Hello, Imperial Palaces in Beijing - Lyric Video

[sifu-kisu]

Part 2

A: Yes. Fook Choy Monk was testing the nature of our great master. Finally he agreed he could be a good student, so he taught him everything he knew. I heard that our great master was even trained under Ng Mui, but it cannot be proved.

Q: How many branches are there in Shaolin martial arts? As they all originated from Shaolin martial arts, why are they different from each other? For example, “Hung-Liu-Choy-Li-Mok”, “Tiger Crane Paired Form”, “Xing Yi Quan”, “Wing Chun”, “Lama”, etc. all originated from Shaolin martial arts, but there are differences among them and they set up their own schools.

A: Before the Tang Dynasty, Shaolin Temple consisted of only Yijin Jing and Yak[sha staff styles]...

1 A style of martial arts that involves attack and defense techniques that are more long-distance.

2 Opposed to “Chang-qiao-da-ma”, this style of martial arts involves techniques that are closer to the body.

3 “Fut” is the Chinese word for “Buddha”.

4 A Chinese idiom meaning that a place where great experts stay quietly and are hardly noticed.

5 It literally means “southern fist” and refers to the southern school of Chinese martial arts.

6 Opposed to Nanquan, it literally means “northern kicks” and refers to the norther school of Chinese martial arts.

Q: Can you give a few examples of the experts of Chinese martial arts at that time?

A: Chinese people have been studying martial arts. There are many experts in the Tang, Song, Yuen and Ming Dynasties, such as the legendary Quyanke, the emperor Kuangyin Zhao, Bai Li, who could use a sword and write poems, Jiang Song of Liangshan County, Qing Yan, who could fight and negotiate, Zheshen Lu, who used the Wild Demon Staff Style, and Song Wu, who used the Magic Legs. They were great martial artists that were not from Shaolin Temple.

Q: Did Master Jueyuan recruit anyone into Shaolin Temple?

A: It cannot be confirmed because it was a long time ago. But it is true that Yue-feng Bai, the master of Shanxi martial arts, a hermit surnamed Lee and many military instructors and leaders who served under Jiguang Qi, who defended against the wokou, were recruited into Shaolin Temple.

Q: What were the contributions of Lee and Bai to Shaolin Temple?

A: Since they joined Shaolin Temple, the Shaolin martial arts changed suddenly. They learnt the Shaolin principles and studied internally and externally. And Bai studied harder and improved faster, dividing the Shaolin Fist skills into Dragon, Tiger, Puma, Crane and Snake Fists, etc.

Q: Besides Lee and Bai, did any other experts join Shaolin Temple?

A: Masters such as Master Cheng Ying, the Monk with a crutch, Yi Guan Monk and Shi-long Ma.

Q: Master Jueyuan visited the great martial artists in the country. Did anyone of Shaolin Temple do work like this afterwards?

A: Yes. Master Tong Zen.

Q: Who is Master Tong Zen? Did he study martial arts simply because of loving martial arts?

A: He is the uncle of Fu-zhi in the Ming Dynasty. Since Zhu-ming-ding Revolution, he swore he would never surrender to the Qing government. He became a monk and hid in Shaolin Temple, using it as a base of rebelling against the government and restoring the Ming government. Dressed as a monk, he visited the martial artists to persuade them to join Shaolin Temple in order to organize the martial arts and prepare for the revolution.

Q: Is there any evidence for this incident?

A: The amended Ten Commandments of Shaolin and the Open Palm style.

Q: What is the Ten Commandments of Shaolin?

A: “Anyone learning martial arts in Shaolin must be determined to restore the Chinese government, must practice day and night without slacking off”, “Every morning and every night before sleep one must worship the statues of Ming Ancestor”, etc.

Q: How about the Open Palm style?

A: When practicing the horse stance, one must first take three steps back and then take one and a half steps forward, which is called Ta Zhong Gong; when practicing the hand techniques, one should use the Tiger Claw, bring together the back of the two hands and hold the arms at the chest level to show that they are against the barbarians and they belong to China.

Q: Any other evidence?

A: The Qing government sent people to burn down Shaolin Temple twice.

Q: Does the patriotism affect “Choy Li Fut”?

A: Yes. Patriotism has always been part of “Choy Li Fut”. When the opium was destroyed, great master Heung Chan led his disciples to assist Zexu Lin to resist the invasion of the British.

Q: How many types of hand techniques does “Choy Li Fut” consists of?

A: Ten Animal Fist, Five Animal Fist, Fut Fist, Linked Fist, Meihua Quan, Arhat fist, Crane Form Fist, Tiger Form Fist, Monkey Form Fist, etc.

Q: What weapons does “Choy Li Fut” use?

A: Knives, swords and spears. The most famous ones are “Bian Kui Staff” and “Shattering Hand Fan”. “Bian Kui Staff” is a famous staff style while “Shattering Hand Fan” is a kind of kung fu aiming at acupoints.

Q: How about the horse stance of “Choy Li Fut”?

A: Five Wheel Footwork, the Four Basic Footworks, Linear Footwork, Hanging Footwork, Circular Footwork, Triangular Footwork, Unconventional Footwork, “Nu” Footwork, etc.

Q: Isn't it very easy to slip if one is kicked with “Nu” Footwork?

A: We will see. Haha!

Q: Right. We only know when it actually applies. Mr. Chen, just one more question and we will finish our interview. I really want to repeat the question that you didn't answer: What are the characteristics of the hand techniques of “Choy Li Fut”?

A: The characteristics are linked close hitting. We have the keywords of the hand techniques of “Choy Li Fut”: “The stance charges forward precedes the hands in fighting, fighting movement is to attack; to attack is a fighting movement”, unlike other hand techniques which poses restrictions on handling one movement with another. Instead, each of our skills immediately follows the previous one with countless changes. These are the ten principles and the kind of fist style “Choy Li Fut” belongs to.

Q: Thank you! Thank you!

A: Bye. Bye.
