ZHANMADAO IS THE ONLY SPIRITUAL WEAPON WITHOUT A NAME IN TGCF AND I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY MU QING DECIDED TO KEEP IT LIKE THAT.

Like, the cultivation and training meant a lot to him, he always tried to act properly regardless of his status AND YET HE DIDN'T GIVE HIS SABER A NAME??? naming a weapon is a big thing for a cultivator, the sword have spirits, yet he keeps calling it by its type???

NEED YOUR THOUGHT ON THAT

#i personally think it subtly demonstrates that mu qing felt like an imposter even after all of his great achievements #he got it and was staring at it for hours trying to come up with a suitable name but each and every one felt ridiculous #yeah sure some “ray if justice” in a sweeper's hands #sounds completely legit not stupid at all #eventually he just left it the way it is and grew comfortable with the fact that the name illustrates nothing but the type of the weapon #and that there are thousands of other zhanmadaos around #just like thousands of sweepers #and they all just do their jobs #xie lian learns about it and says that he finds it poetic because the blade gets to be whatever mu qing wants him to be without any label #mu qing #tgcf #tgcf mu qing #'i cant wield a blade of justice or some shit my father was literally beheaded by the crown“#mxtx tgcf #tgcf headcanon
