PERIOD DRAMA APPRECIATION WEEK 2024: Day 1, Favorite TV show - Empresses in the Palace/Legend of Zhen Huan, directed by Zheng Xiaolong, starring Sun Li, based on the novel of the same name by Liu Lianzi.

To return to the palace, there are some things you must give up. Including...your heart. A cruel heart is still a heart. What you must do is to be cruel, without a heart.

You ever think about how Ren is kinda like Shaoran? Except he has a shitty father, hence the killing people thing...

Are gods born gods? Or do they do cultivation to achieve divinity? Was Nezha born already a god or how could he be considered?

Hello!

This is actually a pretty simple answer that finds it’s roots in Daoism. Put simply, no, someone cannot be born as a god but must cultivate their qi through numerous reincarnations to be reborn into the Celestial Realm as an immortal - although many cases of Buddhist Immortals granting immortality to mortals is a somewhat common occurrence.

More information about Daoist cultivation can be found within Lao Tzu’s yes THAT Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching, among other values and philosophies that should be held onto through each of your lifetimes. If you look into other forms of Chinese media that sets itself as both supernatural and taking place in “ancient China” such as the wuxia or danmei genre, these media types pull very heavily on Daoist concepts and outdated methods of Chinese methods of scrying.

And as for Nezha? No, he was not born as a god and was born to the very mortal Li Jing and Yin Wuming. Before his origin tale was incorporated into Canonization of the Gods, he was granted godhood by Buddha through his rebirth using the lotus flower; which is briefly retold in this post. However, his involvement in Canonization of the Gods has his deification at the conclusion of the Shang and Zhou conflict - as well as deifying Ao Bing, Su Daji, and even his father.

Thank you for asking, I hadn’t realized how unclear this may have been.

The Fallen Deities and his Paint.

"I can't see anything anymore...someone, help me. Help me. Help me. Help...help...help me.."

Once upon a time, a high end deity always stood in his room painting everyday. He’d paint swans, the ocean, the mountains, everything. Everyday he’d run away from his duties to paint as it made him happy. He loved mixing the colors, creating his ideas to reality. He loved to look and look. He loved to see the colors of the world in his head as everything around him was dull and grey. Dark and cruel.

One day his predecessors told him to stop. Ordered to take away the colors and replaced it with black and white. The prince took that challenge and continued creating nonetheless. He wanted to make it as colorful and meaningful as he could. Until they took the color black.

Now, the prince groveled on the ground. Staring at nothing. Because all he could see was nothing. No meaning as there was no art, as there was no color. He himself didn’t know what he created. He couldn't see it. He couldn't see anything.
