Nirvana in Fire Historical Parallels: The Warrior Princess

Hua Mulan/花木兰 is unquestionably the most famous woman warrior of ancient China. But how much of her legend actually happened is of debate, while there were many historical women generals who were more similar to Mu Nihuang in NiF. Here are a few of the most notable, in chronological order:

Fu Hao/妇好 (Hao is her family name; before the Qin Dynasty, family names for women were at the end, reversed from the current name order; Fu means married woman now, but could have referred to priestess then), the earliest woman military leader on record, lived during the Shang Dynasty and died in 1200 BCE. Because her time period predated paper, what we know about her came from oracle bone script and the hundreds of weapons in her tomb, which is a burial rite afforded only to generals. As consort to King Wu Ding/武丁, she led an army of 13,000 to many successful military campaigns against the Shang’s enemies. She was not only a general and high priestess, two of the most important roles in that time era, but also owned her own land, which was extremely unusual for feudal women. After her death, the king made many sacrifices at her tomb in hopes of receiving her spiritual guidance to defeat invading enemies.

Mother Lü/吕母 (name unknown, so she is referred to as a mother of the Lü family) lived during the Western Han Dynasty in Langya Commandery and was the first woman rebel leader in Chinese history. After her son was executed for not punishing peasants who could not pay their taxes, she aided peasants under hard times by giving away her considerable family wealth while plotting revenge on the government. During this time, a consort kin to the Emperor had seized the throne and started his own Xin Dynasty/新朝 (literally New Dynasty), enacting many radical socialist reforms such as land redistribution and abolishing the slave trade. A series of natural disasters and poor implementation of the new policies led to great unrest and suffering among the peasant class. Commoners united around Mother Lü, and three years later, in 17 CE, she amassed thousands of loyal followers and declared herself the leader of the rebellion. They took the city, and she beheaded the county magistrate who had killed her son, sacrificing his head on her son’s tomb. As news of her successful rebellion spread, thousands more joined her even as the government attempted to quash her forces. Though she died from illness a year later, many in her army joined the Chimei Army/赤眉军 (literally red brows), a key force in the eventual downfall of the Xin Dynasty.

The most similar to Nihuang is probably Lady Xian/冼夫人, who lived in the 500s CE and served the Liang (the Liang of NiF is very loosely based on this dynasty), Chen, and Sui Dynasties. She was the daughter of a chieftain of a clan of the Li/俚 people and demonstrated great leadership and political acumen from a young age (women in her family could inherit command). She favored diplomatic solutions over fighting as much as possible and was always loyal to the reign, putting down local rebellions and eliminating corruption. Nihuang’s title of commandery princess/郡主 was also one of her titles, and as thanks for her bringing many minority peoples under unified rule, the Sui emperor gave much of modern-day Hainan to her command, much like Nihuang. She lived to around 90 and was given a posthumous name by the emperor as a sign of great respect. Hundreds of temples in the south were built in her honor, where she was deified and remains worshipped today as the Saintly Mother of Lingnan/岭南圣母.

Princess Pingyang/平阳公主 (personal name unknown) was the third daughter of the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Her father was an aristocrat who decided to seize the opportunity during the chaos of the failing Sui Dynasty to raise an army in 617 CE, and she decided to help her father ascend to power. With remarkable leadership and recruitment power, she quickly recruited several Jianghu volunteer armies under her wing. More and more people joined as her reputation spread, such that she had seventy thousand under her command by the end in what was known as the Woman’s Army/娘子军. Her forces registered several victories before rendezvousing with her father’s forces to take Chang’an, which would become the capital of the new dynasty. She was given the title of Princess Pingyang and higher honors than her sisters as a sign of her father’s gratitude for her help in starting his new dynasty.

After the coup of Chang’an, there was nothing in recorded history about her until her funeral. A rite officer had objected to burying her with military honors instead of a princess’s rites, but her father and emperor said she always fought at the vanguard of her army, so there was nothing wrong with full military honors. She is the only woman in recorded Chinese feudal history to be interred by soldiers.

Qin Liangyu/秦良玉 (1574-1648) was born to a civil bureaucrat in the late Ming Dynasty who believed in educating women, and she became skilled at riding, archery, and poetry. She looked up to Lady Xian and Princess Pingyang from a young age, and told her father that she would equal their accomplishments if she had military command (倘使女儿得掌兵柄，应不输平阳公主和冼夫人). She was married to a local county commissioner who often led armies to quash invasions from the neighboring Manchu Jin Dynasty, and he gave her command of part of his army. When he died in prison being falsely accused of wrongdoing, she assumed his role, as their son was still young. She defeated numerous Jin invasions across the country, and the Emperor gave her the title of Marquis in recognition of her actions in defending the homeland. She’s famous for being the only female general recorded alongside men in the official histories of her dynasty.

A portrait of Qin Liangyu.

So, what made these women leaders of armies while most women throughout Chinese history couldn’t even dream of such a thing? Fu Hao lived a very long time ago, well before the later Confucian system where wives are supposed to obey their husbands and serve at home. For the others, there are some common factors: growing up in a well-to-do family that educated daughters, demonstrated interest and skill in fighting and leadership, being around military power (true of a vast majority of male generals as well, of course), and some kind of unusual circumstance that gave them power, whether a husband or father allowing them to do so or an environment of unrest that gave them an opportunity.

The warrior princess trope exists for a reason: it’s the highborn daughters and wives of generals who are most likely to get the opportunity to command an army. And their stories are more well-known than, say, women like Chen Shuozhen/陈硕真, who came from destitute upbringings and called herself the emperor while leading a peasant rebellion that eventually failed. All history is biased, and contemporary Chinese history seems to favor those who quashed rebellions and promoted national unity.

Given these historical examples, it’s not so outlandish to imagine that Nihuang was educated by her father in the military arts from a young age, showed great fighting and leadership ability, and was then able to take command when he died during a crisis and while her brother Mu Qing was still too young. She is an exception in a field of men, as these historical women were. And like these women, she was very much still subjected to the expectations and boundaries of feudal women.

In some sense, show Nihuang is an ideal female Confucian role model. She is the perfect daughter and older sister who assumed the family mantle when there are no capable men, doing her duty under a corrupt regime for twelve years, with the implication that she will give up at least some of her responsibilities to Mu Qing when he’s ready. She is the perfect widow who never strayed from her arranged marriage pact. And she is the perfect potential wife who shed all of her commanding aura whenever she interacted with post-identity reveal Mei Changsu—she may question him but she will always listen to him, in the end. Her first scene is of a warrior princess soundly defeating men, and her last big scene is her telling Feiliu she wants to obey her Lin Shu-gege.

This is a far cry from book Nihuang, who moved on in those twelve years and found someone else to love. To be clear, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with characters displaying period-typical attitudes, and other female characters in canon, like Consort Jing, are compelling without being hidebound by tradition. Within the microcosm of NiF the show, the change to Nihuang’s character may only be due to the creators wanting to increase her screen time in a male-heavy show and add a tragic romance element that they felt the book lacked. But media doesn’t exist in a vacuum, and after some prominent examples of one-sided adaptation changes in recent years—The Rise of Phoenixes taking a book starring a strong female character and dramatically increasing the male character’s screen time for the actor to get top billing, Serenade of Peaceful Joy adapting a book centered around a princess’s futile rebellion against feudal expectations for women into a show about her loving daddy emperor trying to do the best for his daughter by keeping her in line, even Reset giving some of the main female character’s heroic moments in the book to the main male character in the show, to name a few—was Nihuang’s change from book to show a harbinger of the male-dominated Chinese television industry increasingly reshaping strong female characters into what they think women should be like?

This issue of media depictions affects historical women generals, as well. For various reasons, they haven’t gotten their big breaks in modern mainstream media, and the most famous Chinese female warriors remain Mulan and a few other very fictionalized characters who have had popular shows and movies made about their lives. A Qin Liangyu drama was supposed to be filmed a few years ago but never aired, and as typical of this era of Chinese media censorship, no one seems to know what happened to it.

With the lack of extant details for most of these military leaders, one can depict them as either true believers of Confucian values or as women who questioned and struggled against societal conventions. It isn’t hard to guess what’s more likely to be made today, with a slapped-on love story and plenty of screen time for the men to boot. If we can’t give a warrior princess a sword without always making her a dutiful daughter, wife, and patriot, perhaps we shouldn’t be telling her story to begin with.

Hehe >:D

[dcviated]

If it isnt obvious I tend to be more interested in Dilucs personal situation/story than I am genshin as a whole.

[accio-victuuri]

i think that one other thing we do observe is not only the boys and their interaction but also the people around them. for example that time lele & yanyan were looking out for xz even if wyb was there. another one has come up during weibo night, we think there is another reason why the not in the same room operation was successful— there was a staff they are both familiar with who possibly helped…

(i’m bad with faces but good with what people are wearing lol. so based on the clothes, it’s the same jiejie)

i am referencing this video to explain more…

so based on the video, it’s the same person essentially talking to them. this person was more by wyb’s side during the event. she even sat next to wyb and talked to him, i really got the feeling she was familiar with him. the way she also helped yibo out and made sure he was where he needed to be was so good! there are better videos other than this one that i watched, i could see that she cares for yibo and everyone else can fuck off. lol. as for xz, he had different handlers ( 2-3 that i recognize ) that i could see aside from the usual event bodyguards. but the same jiejie was talking to him at the start, and the way she reached out to him is a clue that she may also be familiar with xz.

00:16 of the video also speculates that this staff is someone who was there when they did their sina office takeover. sina who is basically the company that operates weibo and therefore the event. so if she was there, this person has been exposed to the zz/wyb pairing. maybe that’s when they started knowing her. i know that there is a big possibility that she is recognized by the boys because of a professional relationship they have separately with her. but of course, as clowns, our speculations go to the route that feeds the cpn. 😌😌😌

there is another layer to this cause this was posted and someone commented:

so turns out her cousin is a fruit and she can’t really say more. lol. please tell us more! take this with a grain of salt cause we can’t believe everyone on the internet. who knows if this person is just commenting that to get attention. 🤷🏻‍♀️

that’s all for today <3, happy monday everyone! ☕️

HII i saw you rb my post about xinyan's lore with tags and i just couldn't not respond to that so i'm sending this ask 😭😭

after reading your response, i think i get it now 😭 perhaps her unbending will is just her. no doubt about it! so im retracting the statement about her "not having personality".

although, it would've been nice to know how she came to be that way too because xinyan's mirage wasn't much of a story (now idk if it was meant to be, but i'm assuming it was considering what they did with kazuha's).

but anyways, what i'm trying to say is that i'll definitely be thinking about this more 🥲 thanks for your kind and open-minded response.

- calyxcore

oh my gosh hi hi!!! first of all omg i hope my tags didnt come off as aggressive or argumentative i literally just have a habit of rambling in the tags wahaha!! i was just playing off what u said in ur post and just wanted to add my thoughts!! cos i dont usually make my own posts abt things and tend to hop in the tags of posts other ppl make to write out my own thoughts!! +shes my fave genshin chara waahaha so yea i just went n rambled!! (and im abt to ramble again im so sorry this reply is so long)

but yea!! i rly do appreciate ur yanyan questline critique bec the depth that we can see in the other characters. hyv writers simply refuse to give to her lol. and which is why the rest of the fandom still see her as boring or superficial etc etc. so 100% good on u for touching on that bec its true!!

her mirage didnt exactly have the same feel as kazuha's, where we were literally uncovering bits of his backstory bit by bit thru the mirage. every level of kazoo's mirage, we can see the kaedehara home deteriorate and break down bit by bit as we go further inside it. while yanyan's was just like. an abstract version of her daily life. w other extra elements like the flower, heat, and the music motifs.

am personally still on the fence whether the disparity between their mirages is simply a result of their differing personalities and history, or if its purely lazy writing for yanyan's lore!! remains to be seen until fischl's and mona's because. yanyan was able to get a handle of the stuff that went on in her mirage in some capacity, while kazoo's was a little less controlled? if that makes sense hehe.

cos the event treated the whole silhouette in screen doors/windows sequences differently between those two mirages. kazoo's felt more like a memory, while yanyan was able to interact w the other silhouettes that weren't her parents. imho its bec kazoo didn't rly get a chance to resolve these things w his family, giving that feeling of like. his past still haunting him n stuff. the burden that pushed him to be a wanderer in the first place. whereas yanyan literally has to fight these statements made against her every single day. so they don't rly make an impact in yanyan's mirage as much as kazoo's did, bec yanyan already knows the words and attitude down to. pacify them wahaha. literally where everyone else gets mad at their remarks but shes just like "lol let me handle this" and resolves the situation ez pz lemon squeezy. so depending on how fischl and mona will engage with their respective mirages, it might just be differences in personality n response to what is being shown in the mirages. considering that their mirages effectively portrayed their backstory n history (cos if not, then its def a writing problem haha)

but!! i do agree that this event would've been the perfect opportunity to show the exact moment she got the spark for rock and roll!! bec her character details dont rly elaborate where she found out abt rock and roll save for the fact that she immersed herself into teyvats world of music and experimented w different techniques (specifically her use of fire n pyrotechnics). so that would've definitely been nice to see represented in the mirage itself, or at the very least in the little 2d cutscene after the quest's main story. cos i was def shocked at how different yanyans cutscene was from that of kazuhas.

i'd default with the whole "oghhg fontaine lore not finished yet" but also: 1) writers could've sprinkled something. regardless if fontaine isnt out yet. they do it w/ fontaine npcs why couldn't they do it w a major event chara; 2) mona's mirage! if they show smth fontaine related im going to have a stroke bec they COULDVE done it for yanyan. but chose not to for some god forsaken raisin. and; 3) the extent of fontaine in yanyan's discovery of rock and roll isnt rly. known. its just that she immersed herself in diff music including rock and roll, and that rock and roll is from fontaine. so maybe fontaine isn't even involved. could've been some random person who was rockin and rollin and yanyan saw. meaning this circles back to the whole "this event could've touched more on her spark for rock and roll" thing too.

bottom line is. i do think that they did a good job w fleshing out yanyan's personality in this event, could 100% do more w exploring her backstory!! AND that ur original post was very good!! because everyone else is probably disregarding her quest anyway bec they're not as invested in her lol. so idk im happy to eat up any thoughts anyone has abt the quest because my god my baby girl deserves the spotlight so bad qwq

so yea!! thank u for sending this ask!!! i love when ppl send me asks telling me they read my tag rambles n want 2 discuss thoughts w me

[sinful-lanterns]

Ohmygod. There is so much new content that just dropped from China servers. This post will talk briefly about the new sinners that just got released, and I’ll make a separate post later about the new skins we got. Please only proceed if you do not mind getting spoiled by future in game content.

SPOILERS FOR CN SERVERS:

OH MY GOD, PTN ANNIVERSARIES DO NOT DISAPPOINT.

List of names in order from top to bottom:

Limited S-Class: Yao

Regular S-Class: Du Ruo

A-Class: Yanyan

Okay first off, I am so in AWE at Yao’s design (the phoenix looking woman). Shes such a blaze of heat and is (quite literally) very hot looking and deserves the title of “limited S-class.” I am definitely saving all my warrants for her as I really, really want her 😣 (I say this about every woman that drops lol)

Du Ruo (the white haired woman) looks very simple, yet very calm in contrast to Yao’s fiery design. I am a sucker for white haired characters, and I wonder how she interacts with a fiery spirit like Yao. Would they be…a potential ship perhaps? 👀 now I’m intriguied…

And finally, Yanyan (the child-looking one) looks very cute and quirky with her design. She reminds me of a slightly older OwO, and perhaps the two of them are related maybe? 🤔 I think that’d be interesting to have OwO pop up and be like “omg I have a sibling!”

All these sinners look so cool, I can’t wait for the CNY event to circle over to global once we catch up! 😍

9 Days of Solomon:

Day 3: Knife

TW: Suggestive(?), Light Gore, Blood.

I’ll add my notes and comments up here if you wanna avoid the drawing. It’s nothing to major, but it’s there 🥸

Anyway! Sorry I’m a day late then I said when I’m posting a lot of things happened in RL mostly inconveniences that had me not working on the drawing (like being locked out of the house 😘)

So my thoughts about my drawing, if I’m being honest I’m disowning it and pretend I didn’t drew it, cause I didn’t like how it came out, it might just me being picky or something but it took me way to long (15 hours says procreate) but I think it might as be my fault since my lack of rendering skills, but I gave up cause I just wanted to move on with the drawing and post something for day 3. The entire process felt like a dumpster fire, maybe Im not made to make gore art. 😔 Anyway so it’s a YanYan! Solomon (Yandere), I’m not a big fan of yanderes in general and prefer our goofy old man and how he is. (He is perfect the way he is 😤)

Luckily for day 4 (ocean) I’ve got a much simpler idea, and I think next few ones are more simplified drawings so I think I would be able to have it out on time. Anyway enjoy the image. 😘

Waver Wednesday/general Mastersona/Rose Chaldea doodles dump part 1

Did you know it was Hijikata's birthday yesterday. Did you know wheneve Hijikata shows up in Cyra's Chaldea (@xviicprc) doing anything a hen shows up to bother him

I kidnapped her other boyfriend Saito btw to get her attention

Cyra is to Waverose as Rose (Hen) is to HijiCyra or SaiCyra

directly based off of this picture of mourning doves I took at my old apt complex I moved out of and showed to Lexi

the yanyan and rose business relationship is one thing, the friendship is another

I don't know what this is about. I can't lie to you

I loved The Owl House and I miss Eda #BadGirlCoven

talking with Cyra about the difficult concept of thinking of yourself as being desirable and lovable by someone at all, struggling with that and having to reconcile with what that Means and dealing with the trauma/emotional gut responses to being earnestly, genuinely loved

Yall know about Oberon being my son in law but one of these days I have to write a drabble about what that also means for Waver... Honestly I'm at the point where I might just post some of the Xandra stuff I do for fun for Lexi to tumblr just cause that's a big part of it. Oberon is important to me in that same way and I know Oberon probably needs to talk to Waver in a real way sometime. Especially because it Is Waver. Anyways this is just the two of them going out to get stuff randomly in a winter morning

HUG <3

Pt 2 will come later

YanYan: A butterfly! Hey, little guy, gal or nonbinary pal!

MeeMee: Can a butterfly be nonbinary?

YanYan: I mean, maybe? I don't judge.

F-GonGon, staring dreamily out of the window: Ah, have you ever imagine having butterfly wings? Then-

GonGon: Then it would be inconvenient as fuck. Your wings would smack every doorframe and your clothes would have to have holes in the back.

Doctor: Also, your wing's paper thin, so even a six year old aimed a NERF gun at it would... Yeah...

Jam: *sips coffee* According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a-

F-GonGon: No, nononono. You fuckers have already shattered my dream, you don't get the fucking privilege to make that reference.
