On Xunfeng
Was reading about the Eight Trigrams in Chinese mysticism, which I definitely don't grok fully but are an interesting exercise in the powers of 2 and whose existence I only know of because it's written the exact same way as the word for "gossip"... anyway I came across a familiar two characters:
name: 巽 xùn image in nature: 風 fēng (wind) phase: wood attribute: penetrating state: gentle entrance animal: 雞 jī (fowl/chicken) (but also a modern slang for penis is 小雞雞, little chicken)
Conclusion: Xunfeng's name is a dick joke *
#another page on the bagua gives the animal as 'cock' fyi#circ talks#love between fairy and devil#clj language meta#bagua#* to be clear this is a joke#wood doesn't have the same connotations in cn (though someone correct me if I am wrong)#and well 'penetrating' is A Translation for 入#and I definitely cherry-picked the columns of that table to make it seem funnier#will reblog with more serious thoughts on Xunfeng and the Eight Trigrams
