A new story has arrived!
From the creator of The Superstar Miracle comes a new original tale of love, heartache, and acceptance. Meet Dongzhi Moon, a young lady of mixed background who lives with her aunt and uncle, who are fans of "Tales from The Battalions", a media franchise set in a universe that combines both medieval settings and Chinese folklore into one special thing. She enjoys the franchise, but she is hiding a secret involving it. You see, ever since she was a child, she was encapsulated by the character Waiguo Weibao, a Caucasian character who leads the army of Queen Hong, the main antagonist of Tales from The Battalions. Dongzhi first saw Waiguo in the first Tales from The Battalions movie, where he was in the background and had no speaking parts. She wondered who he was, before he looked directly at her… But little did she know, that was the beginning of a beautiful love story for her…
===========
This story is not intended for people under the age of 15 for the following reasons:
Swearing
Mature themes
Mentions/descriptions of bullying, heartbreak and/or self harm
So if you are under the age of 15 or can't handle any of these topics, then you shouldn't read this story. However, if you want to read this story anyway, I can't really stop you, but please remember that I cannot be held responsible for any trauma you may receive from it.
Having said that, enjoy the story!

In episode 4′s Mandarin lesson, the theme covered is Chinese holidays or festivals.
Interestingly, the entire list of holidays and festivals, written on the board on the right, comes from an actual source in Thailand: http://www.hculi.hcu.ac.th/index.php/knowledge/chinesefestival
I used the information from the link above, Google Translated it and cleaned up the translation this time, rather than translating the Chinese words myself, then hyperlinked some extra information.

In Ruyi's royal love in the palace, the harem wear beads around their neck along with their court dresses. Is there any significance to that?
These strings of beads are called chaozhu 朝珠 and are a part of formal court dress in the Qing dynasty. The construction closely resembles the japamala prayer beads used in Buddhism, from which they originate from being religious objects to court accessories.
Emperor Kangxi in chaofu and chaozhu
Chaozhu are worn by literary officials from the fifth rank and up, military officials from the fourth rank and up, palace guards and officials serving in the capital, as well as their wives, when wearing court attire. The materials making up the beads denote the rank and position of the person wearing it.
The main string consists of 108 beads, representing 12 months, 24 periods, and 72 pentads in a year. 108 is also a significant number in Buddhism, representing the 108 earthly temptations that a person must overcome to achieve nirvana.
Every 27 beads is intersected by a fotou bead about twice the size of other beads, in a contrasting colour. The fotou divides the chaozhu into four, signifying the four seasons in a year.
The fotou at the top of the chaozhu is attached to a hulu gourd shaped bead called fotouta. The two ends of the string of beads enter the top fotou and come together in the middle through the fotouta. From the fotouta hangs a silk strip at the end is a water-droplet-shaped precious stone called dazhuijiao. In the middle of the silk strip is also a large gemstome called beiyun.
Close up of beiyun - one of Yongzheng’s chaozhu
On either side of the chaozhu are three smaller strings of beads, each consisting of 10 beads, called jinian. These are used to differentiate between chaozhu and japamala. They also represent 30 days in a month. For men’s chaozhu, the side with the two strings of jinian will be on the left. For women, the side with two jinian will be on the right.
The beiyun will be behind the wearer’s back as above.
Close up of Ruyi’s chaofu, with dongzhu central chaozhu and two coral side chaozhu. Note two jinian (green, probably jade) on the right side.
Yanwan wearing jifu and one chaozhu
When wearing court dress (chaofu), women will wear three sets of chaozhu: one in the middle and two draped across their sides. For the empress, the central chaozhu are made of Eastern pearls (dongzhu, fresh water pearl) and the side ones are made of coral. Imperial noble consorts, noble consorts and consorts’s central chaozhu will usually be made of amber and the sides made of red coral.
Hailan wearing chaofu and amber and coral chaozhu
Imperial women rank of imperial concubine (pin) and below, wives of princes of various ranks, princesses of various ranks wear the central chaozhu made of coral and the sides made of amber.
Amber chaozhu
Officials’ wives wear chaozhu made of materials such as amber, coral, turquois etc, without prescription. When wearing formal dress (jifu, not court dress), women only need to wear the one middle chaozhu made of any materials. However, yellow-coloured chaozhu and dongzhu pearls are reserved for the emperor, empress dowager and empress.
Men will wear one set of chaozhu regardless of dress.
Emperors will conduct sacrifice at a different temple each season. During the winter solstice (dongzhi), sacrifice is made at the Temple of Heaven, and the emperor wears blue-coloured chaofu and chaozhu made of lapis lazuli.
During the summer solstice (xiazhi), sacrifice takes place at the Temple of Earth, the emperor wears yellow (minghuang) with amber chaozhu.
During spring equinox (chunfen), sacrifice is made at the Temple of the Sun, and the emperor wears red with red coral chaozhu.
During autumn equinox (qiufen), sacrifice is made at the Temple of the Moon, and the emperor wears light blue (yuebaise) with turquoise chaozhu.
For everyday use, the chaozhu is usually made of dongzhu or any other materials.
Special dongzhu and coral chaozhu where each bead is made up of tiny smaller beads.

Winter Solstice Gift for missyriver
This is for @missyriver, I hope you enjoy! Have a great holiday season!
Setting: During a cultivator’s conference with the goal to help rebuilt the prosperity of the Jin clan, Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan spend a nice evening in Lotus Pier.
*****
Wei Ying was bored.
Since he was only allowed to attend half of the meetings, Wei Wuxian found himself having lots of free time, and nothing to do to fill it. Well, not exactly. He could train with the disciples or go harvest the lotus seeds in the many ponds and lakes that surrounded the pier. He could galivant through Yunmeng with a bottle of liquor like he used to. But no matter how hard he tried, Wei Wuxian could not bring himself to do any of those things. The days when he could do such things with a free spirit were long gone and being in Yunmeng for such an extended period of time was bringing back memories. Memories of sunny days splashing through the lotus ponds with his shejie and harrowing days of training by his brother’s side. Memories of his adoptive parents’ dead bodies in the hall and the image of Jiang Cheng clutching Yanli’s dead body and looking at him, tears streaming down his face begging him to do something.
He shook the thoughts away. There was nothing he could do. What was done was done, and now he had to focus on what he had, not what he’d lost. But that proved to be much more difficult than he’d imagined. Every bit of Lotus Pier was covered in memories of his past life, and who he’d been before. And no matter how hard he tried, the memories still crept in.
Lan Zhan’s most recent meeting was supposed to end in an hour, so he still had a considerable amount of time to fill, and he’d be damned if he let it be filled with sorrowful musings. At this time of year, as the Dongzhi festival was approaching, all the shops would be selling their best dumplings, so Wei Wuxian decided that he would go into town to get some for him and his lover. On his way there, a light snow descended from the sky and he couldn’t help being reminded of that night he’d spent in Lan Zhan’s jingshi, after his reincarnation. A small smile made its way to his face at the thought. Even with all the commotion and emotional upheaval that had taken place after his reincarnation Lan Zhan had been there with him. By his side. And truly, he couldn’t have asked for more.
There had been a time when Wei Wuxian would have been one hundred percent sure that he would never like, let alone love, the cold and uncaring Lan Wangji. He laughed at the thought. How things could change. Now all that kept him going was the comforting sound of Lan Wangji’s voice and the safety he felt when he had his gentle lover’s arms around him. And perhaps, he thought, perhaps tonight he would show him just how much he meant to him.
When he spotted the dumplings that looked the most delicious, he quickly bought some and hastily walked them back to the room he and Lan Zhan had been given for their stay in Yunmeng. His lover wasn’t back yet, so he would have time to prepare a nice dinner for them to share. His earlier thoughts were all but wisps in his mind, now replaced with the thought of a nice evening alone with the handsome Lan Wangji. He truly was very lucky.
Once the table was nicely set up, Wei Ying took the liberty of pouring himself a cup of liquor while he was waiting. His musings were no longer centred on the people he had lost, and the hell he’d been through, but what he had. He still had Lan Zhan. And he didn’t have to wait much longer to see the face of the only person he could truly trust to come back.
Lan Wangji looked tired. It would seem that the days meetings had not gone as he had planned, and it was clear to Wei Wuxian that this little evening of relaxation was well deserved for his companion. Just by looking at the little creases in his lover’s delicate features and seeing his slightly less that perfectly straight posture, Wei Ying could tell that the day’s events had taken quite the toll on Lan Wangji. He would ask him if there was anything he could do to help, when the time came.
“Lan Zhan,” he called out, quickly getting up to greet the other man. “How was the meeting?” Lan Wangji’s eyes did a quick sweep of the room before coming to rest on Wei Wuxian. “Long.” He spoke quietly, placing his Bichen on the nearest surface and going to sit at the table that Wei Wuxian had prepared for them. “Let’s eat.” Wei Wuxian sat back down, now face to face with the handsome man. Although he hadn’t said anything about it, Wei Ying could tell that Lan Zhan had been pleasantly surprised by what he’d prepared. He had gotten so accustomed to being with Lan Wangji that he could almost read him like an open book. The thought made him smile warmly. Most of the time, he could tell exactly how his lover felt, and to have such a connection with another person felt very rewarding.
The meal went by in comfortable silence, broken only by the sounds of the wind blowing around the light snow outside and the clacking of chopsticks. The smells of candles and warm, freshly cooked dumplings filled the air. It was rare for the two to get such peaceful alone time and Wei Wuxian was very proud. But it wasn’t over yet.
As soon as they’d both finished their meals, he rapidly cleared the table before grabbing his lover’s hand and leading him to the docks that connected their rooms to the rest of Lotus Pier. “Let’s go for a walk” he suggested, and Lan Zhan nodded. At first, they walked in silence, and seeing as there was no one around, Wei Wuxian did not let go of Lan Wangji’s hand. After a little they arrived at one of the many dock endings located in Lotus Pier, where a small boat lay waiting for them.
“Since we were interrupted by Wen Ning last time, I thought that maybe we could go for a boat ride, just you and me.” Wei Ying offered, a warm inviting smile on his face. A small smile appeared on Lan Wangji’s face as he took a seat at one end of the boat. Wei Wuxian then sat at the other end, grabbing a seal from inside his robes, and sticking it at the back of the boat. Slowly the boat left the dock, creating small ripples in the previously clear surface of the water. The night was slightly cold, but it wasn’t cold enough to freeze the ponds, although there was a light snow on top of the many lotus plants. “It’s been so long since I was able to truly enjoy the lotus ponds.” Wuxian said with a slightly saddened smile. “I remember when my shejie would invite me to pick lotus seeds with her, and we would spend hours in these boats, just having fun. Jiang Cheng was always jealous when we came back,” he laughed, “He would get angry at us for not inviting him, although he would never admit it. But the next time we forgot to invite him again, he would always throw a tantrum.” The small smile on his face had grown with the happiness of the memory, but there still lay sadness within his eyes.
Which Lan Wangji noticed. He promptly gathered a few Lotus stalks in his hands, before taking the seeds out and handing some to Wei Wuxian. “Thank you” he said, and Wangji just nodded, before returning to his previous sitting position, except slightly closer to the other man. “Wei Ying,” he whispered, his low voice laced with what Wei Wuxian had come to learn was love and adoration. “Lady Jiang would not want you to look on these memories with sadness.” Wuxian smiled. “Of course not. “Then he laughed. “She’d also be very happy that I am here with such a handsome man as yourself.” The light of the moon illuminated the faces of both men, making Wei Wuxian’s flirty expression very clear. Wangji pulled away slightly. “Shameless.”
“Lan Zhannnnn!” Wei Wuxian whined as he practically threw himself on top of the other man making the boat shake precariously. After a while of simply laying on Lan Wangji he picked his head up and looked straight into the eyes of his lover. “I am very happy to be here with you, Lan Zhan.” It wasn’t rare for Wuxian to be so plainly honest with his feelings in such a direct way, but every time he did it, it still made Lan Wangji’s heart beat a little faster than it did before. “Mn” he answered. No words would ever be able to summarize the amount of love he held in his heart for Wei Wuxian. It was the controlling force of his life, what he breathed for, what he woke up for, what he dreamt of. And it was finally his, after sixteen years.
He wasted not another second in thought, gently bringing his lips down onto Wuxian’s. His kisses were always soft and adoring, lest he hurt his love in any way. And Wei Ying’s response was immediate, securing his arms around Wangji’s neck and pressing his lips against Lan Zhan’s passionately, as if he were a dying man sharing his last kiss. Which he might as well have been with all the people out there who still wanted to kill him. But with Lan Wangji by his side, he could never be hurt by anyone anymore. He was happy, safe and loved.
After all, Wei Wuxian could never truly be bored with Lan Wangji by his side.

https://m.jjwxc.com/book2/2521064
Synopsis
Originally named "Secret Archives of Unscientific Materialism (不科学唯物主义秘密档案)", it was formally renamed to "Huangli Shi(黄历师)" on April 24, 2018, due to the animated adaptation of the novel.
Huangli Shi, according to legends, refers to a Fangshi who can alter the effects of seasonal solstices, solar terms, and festivals, and is able to predict each day’s fortune.

Chuxi: What are you looking at? You don’t want to live past new year’s eve?
Chuba: Today's fortune is terrible, nothing’s going to turn out right. I’m afraid there might be a… bloody disaster.
Qingming: So am I a solar term or a festival? In that case, I should get double the pay, right?
Dongzhi: Alas, digestion happens faster when it comes to winter. I want to eat dumplings and wonton and sweet dumplings～
Xiao Nanzhu: "..."

Translator note
Hi, this is Christina. Huangli Shi is the first project I took and I hope I can keep up with it. This novel is getting an animation adaptation by Shimei/B.C May who did the animation for The King’s Avatar(Quan Zhi Gao Shou), Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation(Mo Dao Zu Shi), etc, and should be coming out this year (2019, if everything goes right). This story focuses heavily on Chinese culture, customs, and ancient mythology and legends, so if you’re interested in these but wanted something light, this definitely is a must-read for you!
Currently, I am translating on my own and I don’t really have much time to stick to a regular update. The checking is done by some of my friends and I thank them very much for helping, I couldn’t do it without their help since my English is really bad. I will try my best, please bear with my translations. Help is always wanted! PM me if you want to help with this translation! Hope you’ll find the story as interesting as I do, enjoy~

[This article was originally written for the Atheists United radio program that was broadcast on KPFK-FM in Los Angeles. Later it was adapted to an article that appeared in the Fall 1985 issue of Free Inquiry magazine.]
Every December we experience the greatest media blitz of falsehood. Newspapers and broadcasters repeat the deplorable “commercialization” of Christmas. So we seem to have lost the true meaning of Christmas and perverted it into a pagan holiday,”
We have been told false story hundreds of times that Christmas is a celebration of the beginning of Christianity and that it all started on the evening of December 24, exactly one thousand, nine hundred and eighty-five years ago, in little town of Bethlehem – and everything will be slanted to convey the impression that Eyewitness News was there to cover it. All falsehood.
The winter solstice (or hibernal solstice), also known as midwinter, is an astronomical phenomenon marking the day with the shortest period of daylight and the longest night of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere this is the December solstice and in the Southern Hemisphere this is the June solstice.
The axial tilt of Earth and gyroscopic effects of its daily rotation mean that the two opposite points in the sky to which the Earth’s axis of rotation points (axial precession) change very slowly (at the current rate it would take just under 26,000 years to make a complete circle). As the Earth follows its orbit around the Sun, the polar hemisphere that faced away from the Sun, experiencing winter, will, in half a year, face towards the Sun and experience summer. This is because the two hemispheres face opposite directions along Earth’s axis, and so as one polar hemisphere experiences winter, the other experiences summer.
More evident from high latitudes, a hemisphere’s winter solstice occurs on the day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year, when the sun’s daily maximum elevation in the sky is at its lowest.[1] Although the winter solstice itself lasts only a moment in time, the term sometimes refers to the day on which it occurs. Other names are “midwinter”, the “extreme of winter” (Dongzhi), or the “shortest day”. In some cultures it is seen as the middle of winter, while in others it is seen as the beginning of winter.[2] In meteorology, winter in the Northern Hemisphere spans the entire period of December through February. The seasonal significance of the winter solstice is in the reversal of the gradual lengthening of nights and shortening hours of daylight during the day. The earliest sunset and latest sunrise dates differ from winter solstice, however, and these depend on latitude, due to the variation in the solar day throughout the year caused by the Earth’s elliptical orbit (see earliest and latest sunrise and sunset). Ancient people were very dependent on the seasons. That is why all cultures in all parts of the world have held their major religious festivals on these four occasions.
In the days of the Roman republic, the calendar was numbered from the founding of Rome – which, according to the present calendar, would be 753 B.C.E. And March 15, called the Ides of March, was designated as New Year’s Day. However, this was a lunar calendar rather than a solar calendar, so the months rotated throughout the year. One year March 15 might be in the summer, and a few years later it would be in the winter.
Greece, and all of northern Europe, operated on a solar calendar, with the new year starting on the winter solstice. When the Romans invaded Greece in the fifth century B.C.E., they realized the advantages of a solar calendar. In 153 B.C.E., New Year’s Day was moved to January first, since Janus was the two-faced god of doorways and new beginnings.
Finally, in 46 B.C.E., Julius Caesar switched from a lunar to a solar calendar. He divided the year into 365 and one-quarter days, with twelve “moons,” or months, all of which had either 30 or 31 days, except February, which had 28 – and 29 every fourth year. New Year’s Day was still on January first.
The major festival of the year in ancient Rome was called the “Saturnalia,” and it centered on the winter solstice. When the Julian calendar was first devised, the solstice fell on December 25. But the Julian calendar had an error of eleven minutes. The year is actually 365 days, 6 hours, 11 minutes and a few seconds. So by the third century C.E. the solstice had crept backwards to approximately December 23.
At this time, the emperor Aurelian established an official holiday called “Sol Invicti” – meaning unconquered sun, in honor of the Syrian sun god “Sol,” and also in honor of himself, since the emperors were regarded as the divine incarnation of Apollo. This holiday was held on December 24 and 25. And it more or less established December 25 as the official solstice. All other religions that worshipped sun gods also accepted December 25 as a fixed date for their celebrations. And the major festivals of the Egyptian earth-mother Isis were held on December 25, January 6, and March 5.
The earliest Christians assumed that Christ was born and was resurrected on the same day – March 25 – which was assumed to be the vernal equinox. Later Christians celebrated the birth of Christ on January 6, along with the festival of Isis. By the fourth century, many Christians were referring to December 25 as the day of the “unconquered son” – in defiance of the emperor, and January 6 was then called “Epiphany,” when either the magi were supposed to have visited or Christ was baptized, or maybe both.
In 325 C.E., many churches did not want to be associated with the pagan religions, and to this day the Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates the birth of Christ on January 7 – the day after Epiphany.
In the fourth century, Emperor Constantine established our seven-day week – based on Jewish tradition.
Throughout the early Middle Ages, most of Europe disregarded Roman practices and continued to start the year with the equinox – March 25. England, however, retained the practice of starting the year on the solstice – December 25.
By 1582, the eleven-minute error in the Julian calendar had thrown the year ten days out of sync with the sun, which was very upsetting to the Catholic Church, since the calendar determined all their feast days. At that time, the pope was the most powerful person in the world. So Pope Gregory had the authority to establish his “Gregorian” calendar. He deleted ten days from that year, which pushed the solstice back to December 22, where it had been when the Catholic Church was founded in 325. But by then, the connections with Christmas had long since been forgotten, so it remained on December 25. Then Gregory modified the rule about how often leap-year must occur so the calendar wouldn’t drift out of sync again. The Gregorian calendar also retained the Italian tradition of January first as New Year’s Day. England and America finally accepted the Gregorian calendar in 1752.
“Santa Claus” is a contraction of “St. Nicholas,” who was archbishop of the sea-port of Myra, in Asia Minor, during the time of the Nicene Council. He died on December 6, 326. Since he was bishop of a seaport, he became the patron saint of sailors – and therefore of all travelers, most of whom were merchants. Later he was adopted as the favorite saint of the Russian Orthodox Church and, eventually, of fishermen as far away as Lapland and the Arctic Ocean.
