Shuiyue: Let’s have a celebration party!

Ling Ruo: Then I’ll help you cook!

Mu Lingchen: I heard there was a party so I brought a cake

You dare suggest anyone has broken out of Karma Jail? Aunt Sansheng is going to faint! Liyuan is making that *face* and huffing and vehemently shouting no such thing has ever happened ever. Aren't you already in trouble for revealing hidden Yujing Historical Society Documents? Leans back against pillar, sipping Green Flame Wine: Why are you like this? Why do you wish to stir up trouble?

Changheng in the corner, stuffing a delicious freshly baked cookie in his mouth, eyes wide. No one sees anything okay?

I really feel that the whole way Shuiyuntian is run, it really sets itself up for comedic shenanigans. Immortals breaking out of Karma Jail every other day, an autocratic Emperor everyone lies to, all those secret totally Not Gay rendezvous(es) in A Magic Painting, is Danyin competing in the Yujing version of My Kitchen Rules as she tries to tempt Changheng with more of her cooking, and the whole time an invisible DFQC is sliding through Zhongshui's private balconies without Anyone Noticing... and does he ever see Yunzhong .. uh. You know. Having Secret. Um. Rendezvous of his own?

Has anyone written a crackfic for this.

Shuiyunanigans.

Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara in Water Moon Form (Shuiyue Guanyin), 11th century Wood (willow) with traces of pigment; multiple-woodblock construction 118.1 x 95.3 x 71.1 cm The Metropolitan Museum of Art After the tenth century, one of the more prominent representations of Avalokiteshvara shows the bodhisattva seated with the right knee raised and the left leg crossed before the body. The posture represents the Water Moon manifestation, understood as a depiction of the divinity in his Pure Land, or personal paradise. Known as Mount Potalaka, Avalokiteshvara’s Pure Land was originally thought to be located on an island somewhere south of India. By the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), this mythical paradise had been identified with Mount Putuo, an island off the east coast province of Zhejiang, and had become an important pilgrimage site. via

hello this is the reposession agency /j so! about those lego ocs I am really sorry the original response was meant to be something along the lines of 'yes, give them to me in alphabetical order', hence the [hj] BUT I thought it was kinda stupid so I edited it and FORGOR TO DELETE THE TONE TAG AND WELL- how a-a-a-awkward can I be-

anyway- If you ever feel like writing about them in detail, or just the general basics, know that you'll have at least one person interested in reading all that (me)

i love legos, i love ocs It's a win-win for me

thatisallhaveanicedayslashevening

was holding off on answering this cause i wanted to gather like. art of all of them. and then i got tired of that so we're just answering this without art additions but just know they DO exist for some of them.

note, some of these OC's have AU's where they're not LMK OC's but yknow. i like em as LMK OC's.

anways lets goooo (i'm most likely forgetting some. don't worry about it).

Qiu Shi; he/him, pink monkey demon, sound based powers/sonic scream, decided that Wukong was his younger brother immediately upon seeing him (when Wukong jumped through a waterfall). using Wukong's circlet (placed around his neck) to prevent his sonic scream from activating on accident, was trapped under a tree for 200 - 300 years

Lei Mu; he/him, purple monkey demon, plant based powers, has a blue rose instead of a heart, was promised his heart back if he defeated Qiu Shi (he's the one who trapped him under a tree), can't remember anything from before he met his toxic ex girlfriend, TRAUMA.

Li Miao; he/they, purple monkey demon 2, light based powers, is Lei Mu's twin brother, a really good cook, is cursed to only be able to tell the truth (he has a potion that cancels out the effects, so nobody knows about it, but if he sleeps the potion wears off and he has to take it again), and worked as a thief for a period of time

Ju Wu; she/her, another monkey demon (i have a lot y'all should buckle up at this point), electricity based powers, was trapped in a video game for an extended period of time and now occasionally will glitch out.

Kechi; he/him, mer-monkey, full out does not know what a monkey is for a bit which is hysterical considering he is one, is just a silly guy tbh, lies a lot, shipped with Macaque

Shuiyue (and Qianlan); he/him, Shuiyue APPEARS human, he's not though, he was like. born from the moons reflection on the water. he frequently manipulates water to make it look like he has horns so people think he's a dragon though. he makes a deal with a water spirit named Qianlan, and they share a body. shipped with Wukong. (they have this whole villainous plan thing and the spell they need requires doing a couples dance with someone very powerful. so. he decides to woo Wukong. but then the both of them end up falling in love with him for Reals).

THE PRINCESS WEI YANG - 172 PART 1

CHAPTER 172: Tianxiang Upstairs

The Tianxiang Troupe was an opera troupe that had just arrived in Yuexi. They rented a large courtyard in the Yuexi capital, Dadu, and started singing operas soon after. Most of the nobles and officials found that this troupe, although otherwise ordinary, had a few outstanding martial arts actors and actresses, all of whom were beautiful in appearance and had captivating singing voices. In addition, the owner spent a lot of money and chose the most luxurious location and the most elegant environment. The stage was set up and for a while the Tianxiang Troupe became very popular in the city.

At this moment, most of the officials, ladies and noblemen were already seated under the extremely gorgeous stage, and the troupe backstage was also ready to step out. The clamor of gongs and drums filled the air. The martial arts student on the stage wore a velvet crown, a four-clawed dragon robe, and held a sharp silver spear. His jade-like face showed majesty and his heroic appearance won a round of applause as soon as he appeared on the stage.

This play tells the story of Liu Xiaochun, the son of Liu Chang, the traitorous prime minister of the former dynasty, who relied on his father's power to bully men and dominate women, causing harm to both parties. One day, Liu Xiaochun went out drinking and met Xu Ying, who was visiting his family tomb in the suburbs. Liu Xiaochun saw Xu Ying's wife Pei Lan, who was very beautiful, and ordered someone to abduct her and take her back to his mansion. He wanted to take her as his concubine, but Pei Lan refused and was locked up in Shuiyue Tower. Xu Ying summoned several friends and swore to rescue his wife and eliminate the villain. That night, they snuck into Liu's house quietly, just as Liu Xiaochun came out of the house drunk. After a fierce battle, they finally wiped out him and his minions, rescued Pei Lan, and escaped. This is a typical play in which a hero saves a beauty, punishes evil and promotes good. It has been around for a long time and is very popular.

The audience saw "Xu Ying" was neither fast nor slow, taking his time to ensure precision with each move, attack, defense, advance, retreat, and maintaining a stable stance. It was only when the duel with Liu Xiaochun began that the gongs and drums suddenly changed to a rapid tempo, the rhythm accelerated, but the atmosphere was tense, the passion rose sharply, and the audience applauded.

Not long after, Pei Lan who had been snatched away on stage, emerged with her long emerald satin sleeves fluttering slightly, and the tassels on her bun suddenly swayed, and infinite affection flowed out from her eyes like water. She tilted her head slightly and gracefully sang the lyrics of the song and her beautiful eyes were shining brightly. The audience watched and listened, and bursts of cheering suddenly broke out in unison.

The theater troupe, of course, distinguishes between private seats and ordinary seats. The ordinary seats downstairs are not so particular, and there are rows and rows of men and women, elderly and children. People watched the show attentively, whispering to each other from time to time, and the scene was extremely lively. There are seven private rooms in total, located on the second floor. Each room is elegantly decorated and separated by thin beaded curtains. People outside cannot see inside, but people inside can see the scene on the stage outside. Today, there are all ladies and madams from high-ranking families in this elegant hall, and there are guards standing outside, for fear that some unsighted person might bump into them.

"Miss, there is still no news today." A young woman said to the person sitting in front of the window with a hint of disappointment on her face.

That person smiled softly and said, "Really."

She has a porcelain-white face, lips as red as coral, and a pair of eye-catching dark eyes. She can be said to be a beauty and she enunciated every word very clearly: "Creating such momentum will eventually attract attention. We just need to wait."

"Yes." Zhao Yue looked deeply at her master. Today's Li Wei Yang's face has changed slightly from half a year ago. Of course, she has become more beautiful. However, Zhao Yue still likes the original Li Wei Yang because she could still see the smile on her face. In the past six months, Zhao Yue had never seen her smile sincerely.

"Princess Yongning's favorite thing is to listen to operas. When she was in the Capital, she invited almost all the opera troupes. People's habits will not be changed easily. But Tianxiang Troupe has been here for so long, but she has not been seen. It's really strange." Li Wei Yang's voice was very calm, as if she was deep in thought.

Zhao Yue frowned and looked at Li Wei Yang in confusion.

Li Wei Yang arrived in Dadu a month ago and has been secretly looking for opportunities to meet Princess Yongning. The other party still owes her a promise. Even if Yongning doesn't want to fulfill it, she will make her fulfill it. But Yongning is now the fourth prince of Yuexi's princess consort. If she wants to see her, she must hide from Yuan Yu's eyes, which is really not easy. Li Wei Yang doesn't think Yuan Yu is a fool. Although she has changed a lot compared to before, she is still easily recognized. Acting rashly will only make things worse, so she chose to start with Princess Yongning's preferences. However, Yongning is different from the ordinary nobles in the elegant rooms outside. With such an identity she will never come to such a place. Then, they can only spread the reputation of this troupe and let everyone in Dadu know about it. Only in this way can they have the opportunity to be invited to Prince Yan's Mansion and meet Princess Yongning through the cover of the theater troupe.

Li Wei Yang contemplated it while closing her eyes slightly, as if lost in her own thoughts.

But at this time, the gong rang signalling that the play was over. Backstage, the actors were busy taking off their makeup and rushing for the next scene. People came and went, the movements were fast, and there was order in the chaos. Only in a secluded small room, Wen Xiaolou, the martial artist who had just played Xu Ying, took off his makeup, but got into an argument with the troupe leader.

"Today, it is clear that the audience wants to hear Fang Jingtai, but you have to perform this play. What's the reason?" Wen Xiaolou's face, with bright eyes like water, dark eyebrows, and anger on his fair face, was even more stunning than his appearance painted with stage makeup.

He was originally an extremely handsome man and was born with a good voice. He had studied acting in a theater troupe since he was a child. In addition, he later learned martial arts from a skilled master for several years. Compared with ordinary actors, he was a bit more unique. His talents soon became the main pillar of the Tianxiang Troupe.

The troupe leader, who was over fifty years old and well-built, held a cigarette rod in his hand. Hearing this, he quickly persuaded: "What are you doing! You have the final say on how the play is performed, but of course I have the final say on what the play is. Forget it, just sing!"

"Don't lie to me. Everything was fine in the past, but when that woman came, everything changed! This is your troupe, but now you have to listen to her even for any piece of music. Does this mean she bought the troupe?!" Wen Xiaolou was obviously indignant, and even the slightly raised corners of his eyes radiated a sharp chill.

The troupe leader quickly looked around and said repeatedly: "Aiyo, my ancestor, please keep your voice down! You should know what kind of situation our theater group is in. Have you forgotten that in the past, when we were wandering around Yaozhou, we could only perform on a grass platform? While singing, there is no place for us to hide from the sun and the rain. When you meet those gangsters, they can't even give us a few cents. And now? We live in the best courtyard, you are on the best stage, and even the costumes are the most luxurious; what else do you want? If they pay for it, you must sing whatever they want to hear. How else can you make a living for yourself?"

Wen Xiaolou sneered and said: "Master, I advise you to think carefully. This woman's origin is unknown and her identity is a mystery. However, she came to our theater troupe out of nowhere and said she wanted to make us famous. She even paid a big price to hire a famous actor. Don't you think its strange? She has no connection with us, so why should she help us like this? There is no such easy thing in this world!"

The troupe leader frowned and said: "What do you know! She's just a fan of yours——"

"My fan? Did you see those people outside just now? They applauded me, cheered for me, and asked me to sing another song. These are my fans! You said she was doing it for the theater, did she ever listen carefully when I sing? Has she ever said a word to me? To be honest, from the first time I saw her, I felt uncomfortable all over. I always felt that she would bring us some kind of  trouble! "

The troupe leader looked at him in embarrassment and said: "I have already considered what you said, and I have also sent people everywhere to inquire about the origin of this young lady——"

Wen Xiaolou said eagerly: "Did you find out anything?"

The troupe leader shook his head and said: "Although people like us have low status, after so many years of wandering around, we can be considered good at reading people. She is beautiful, noble and graceful in her actions, and she is so generous. She must be from a wealthy family. But, why did this young lady from such a family come here alone? You saw it last time, there was a short-sighted person who wanted to cause trouble for her, but he was severely punished by her maid. Her maid—— her martial arts skills are so high that she is no ordinary guard!"

"Since you know that her background is not simple, you shouldn't accept such a generous gift from her!" A trace of anxiety appeared on Wen Xiaolou's face.

"I... Isn't there nothing I can do? If we refused to accept her money, how could our group be so popular?" The troupe leader dropped the cigarette pole and persuaded earnestly, "Xiaolou, let's not worry about her purpose. Just sing your own show well. No matter what, what can others take advantage of from small people like us!"

Wen Xiaolou was speechless. Indeed, what the class leader said was right. People like them are just actors from humble backgrounds, so how are they worth being exploited by others? If the woman had ulterior motives, from beginning to end, she has never asked them to do anything. Instead, she spent a lot of money to make them famous. However, it was really worrisome to let him just ignore it. He always had an intuition that this woman was not simple, and her purpose was not simple either. She was obviously not interested in the plays, but she would listen to every scene in the private room, as if she was waiting for someone.

An actor like him, was even lower than mud and couldn't afford to offend anyone. If this woman brought him any trouble, what should he do? This was what Wen Xiaolou was most worried about.

"Brother, don't say these says about her! I had an illness last time. If she hadn't asked a doctor to see me, I would be dead now!" At this time, the curtain suddenly moved slightly, and a girl walked in from outside.

This girl is a rare beauty, with a peach-shaped face and bright autumn eyes. She is wearing a plain skirt, but has a cheerful smile on her face. Her appearance in the dark room seems to bring a burst of fresh sunshine, and the whole room is suddenly illuminated. It lit up, and even the old and dim-eyed troupe leader showed a look of surprise. Wen Xiaolou couldn't help but get angry and said, "You haven't recovered yet, why did you run out?"

Xiaoman stuck out her tongue and said, "I always lie down in bed. I lie down so much I'm getting moldy."

Wen Xiaolou looked at her, with a hint of softness in his originally ruthless eyes, and said: "Silly girl, the doctor said you should stay in bed and rest well before-"

There was a look of disgust on the face of the troupe leader. Everyone in his troupe had to work. Once this girl got sick, she would be delayed for ten days to half a month. If it wasn't for Wen Xiaolou protecting her, he would have kicked her out long ago!

Xiaoman saw the leader's expression and said quickly: "Master, my health is almost recovered and I can go on stage tomorrow. Don't worry."

Just as Wen Xiaolou was about to speak, Xiaoman shook her head at him. Wen Xiaolou felt a pain in his heart and stopped talking. He could protect her for a few days, but he couldn't protect her all the time - Xiaoman was too sensible, so sensible that he didn't know what to say.

The class leader nodded, turned around and said, "Xiaolou, let's stop talking about this matter. I'm going out first!" With that, he opened the curtain and walked out.

Xiaoman looked at Wen Xiaolou and said disapprovingly: "Brother, that Miss Li is my savior. You shouldn't doubt her like this."

Wen Xiaolou's smile turned cold and said: "You silly girl, others may not be sincere when they treat you well. Aren't you afraid that she has ulterior motives?! Think about it -"

"Okay brother, no matter what her motive is, she could have just let me be. Even the troupe leader said that he has spent a lot of money on my medical treatment over the years and will never care about me anymore. She is not related to us, but is willing to give out money. Have you ever met such a kind person, brother?" Xiaoman's eyes flickered, but her voice was unusually firm.

Wen Xiaolou was almost speechless. Xiaoman had been an orphan since she was a child. After being adopted by a troupe, she began to learn to sing. However, because she went out to set up the stage in the rain one time, she accidentally a cold and because the theater leader refused to pay for a doctor it became a sore point in her heart. Later, the cruel theater leader actually left her on the street without caring about her life or death. If she hadn't been accidentally picked up by Wen Xiaolou, she might have died long ago. Over the years, she had endured every illness, for fear of becoming a burden to Wen Xiaolou. He knew that, but was helpless. No matter how he sings, no matter how much reward he gets, he has to give it to the troupe, and the rest will be very little. Not to mention hiring a famous doctor for Xiaoman, even going to the pharmacy to get medicine is difficult. He doesn't have enough money so he can only watch Xiaoman suffer. And Xiaoman was so sensible, no matter that her condition was getting worse, she still had to perform on stage, which made him even more heartbroken.

This time, if it weren't for the mysterious Miss Li, Xiaoman might never be able to open her eyes again. No matter how much he doubted her, what Xiaoman said was true. Wen Xiaolou sighed and said, "Forget it, I won't say such things anymore."

Xiaoman nodded and said, "I'm going to thank that lady."

Wen Xiaolou's brows furrowed even more tightly, and Xiaoman quickly stretched out her hand to massage his eyebrows, saying, "Brother, don't do this, you will get wrinkles."

Xiaoman is not his biological sister, but for so many years, he has regarded her as the closest and dearest person in the world. This kind of feeling transcends everything. He is just afraid, really afraid. He has turned nineteen years old this year, he might not be able to sing for much longer. He simply couldn't imagine what Xiaoman would do if he couldn't sing anymore? How was he going to take care of her? Because of this, he was so wary or Li Wei Yang's appearance. Their lives were already in danger. What changes would this mysterious lady bring to them? He was really scared.

However, looking at Xiaoman's innocent smile, he couldn't say refute her. How long Xiaoman can live, maybe ten years, maybe a year, no, maybe only a month, even he doesn't know, but no matter what, he is willing to do anything for Xiaoman's smile now.

Wen Xiaolou finally sighed and said, "Okay, but you just have to wait for me to go with you."

Wen Xiaolou has another drama next, but it is King Rouge. This play is about a woman named Rouge who joins the army on behalf of her father. Originally, Hua Dan was cast in the play, but later the troupe leader found that Hua Dan lacked talent and felt too weak no matter how she acted, so he asked Wen Xiaolou to play the role. Fortunately, Wen Xiaolou doesn't care about literary or martial arts performances, or whether he is playing a male or female character. At this moment, he was wearing purple clothes, wielding a golden sword and dancing with a whip. Following the intersecting music, his body rotated like a dragon or a serpent, spinning violently. Suddenly he jumped up and did seven somersaults in mid-air, and everyone cheered together.

It was rare for Li Wei Yang to watch a play, but looking at Wen Xiaolou who was working hard, she suddenly smirked. Zhao Yue didn't know what she was laughing at and couldn't help but look at her in confusion.

Li Wei Yang's eyes were cold, and there was a hint of sigh in her voice: "Do you still remember how miserable Wen Xiaolou was when we first saw him?" He didn't have enough money, so he knelt at the door of the medicine hall. He knelt all night, just begging the doctor to take a look at his sister. Unfortunately, no matter how long he knelt, the outcome would be the same. In the end, the doctor was moved by Li Wei Yang's money, but not because of Wen Xiaolou's sincerity.

"Miss, in fact, I have never understood. There are so many theater troupes in the world, and the Tianxiang Troupe is just a third-rate one. As for Wen Xiaolou, if we didn't hire people to praise  him, he will not be popular at all. Why did the lady choose them?"

Li Wei Yang listened to the thunderous applause from the audience, and seemed to be talking to herself: "Yes, why?" Along the way, she has heard countless tragic stories, but she has never been moved. She is not a philanthropist, it is impossible to save everyone, not to mention, who helped her when she suffered? However, when she saw Wen Xiaolou kneeling at the door of the medicine hall for the first time, she suddenly thought that she would make a bet with herself. If he knelt for three hours, she would save this person. However, Wen Xiaolou knelt in the ice and snow all night, far exceeding her expectations. Perhaps at that time, she suddenly became a little curious about the person Wen Xiaolou wanted to save.

Originally, she would not choose those famous troupes. Those troupes already had some backers and did not need her financial support, so naturally they would not obey her orders. In Dadu, she had no power, only money, and had to start all over again, so choosing the Tianxiang Troupe was safer.

Very quickly, the show on the stage changed. Li Wei Yang stood up and said, "That's it for today. We should go back."

Zhao Yue just wanted to speak, but saw the curtain lifted, and Wen Xiaolou walked in wearing his  costume. Zhao Yue frowned slightly, but saw Wen Xiaolou smiling and saying: "I'm sorry for disturbing the lady. It's just that Xiaoman and I came to thank you——"

Li Wei Yang's eyes fell on Xiaoman who was behind Wen Xiaolou. She just smiled. Such a pure smile made people feel heartbroken. "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have died." She thanked her sincerely.

Li Wei Yang nodded noncommittally, showing that she heard it.

"Miss Li, I will make money and return it to you one day." Wen Xiaolou said. 

Xiaoman listened and showed a look of disapproval. She felt that Li Wei Yang would not like to hear this sentence, because it was not gratitude, but rather sounded a bit disrespectful. She was afraid that Li Wei Yang would be angry, but the other party just said coldly: "It's up to you." After saying that, she walked out, and Zhao Yue quickly put on the cloak for her.

The cover illustration by Yangsook Choi for the children’s book Earthquake written by my Aunt Mildred Chan Lee under the name of Milly Lee.

Day of Days: A Girl’s-eye View of San Francisco Chinatown and the 1906 Earthquake and Fire

My late aunt Mildred (a.k.a. “Nimsie”) Chan grew up in a bustling, multi-generational household in San Francisco. Her daily life involved attending Chinese school after her regular classes and communicating predominantly in Cantonese, both at home and within her local community. Her childhood occurred before WW II – before the beginning of the end of Exclusion and segregation – in the tight-knit confines of the Chinatown community.

As a school librarian, Nim noticed a lack of books that reflected her own experiences as a bicultural child. While there were stories about Asia, they often portrayed it as a distant, ancient world, disconnected from modern, and even Chinese American, life. This realization fueled her desire to see more stories that depicted American children, navigating life between two cultures.

After retiring and being actively involved in the American Library Association, among other professional groups, Nim was well-prepared to author her first book, "Earthquake" under the name “Milly Lee.” The story is based on my grandmother's harrowing experiences during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

"This morning the earth shook and threw us from our beds. We were not hurt, just stunned." The eight year-old Lily (a.k.a. Lillian) after literally being tossed out of bed by the earthquake in the early morning hours of April 18, 1906. (Illustration by Yangsook Choi for the children’s book, Earthquake, by Milly Lee).

She vividly describes through the childlike eyes of my future grandmother, being awakened by the earthquake, the family’s desperate packing for the flight through a devastated city, and the march west before the onslaught of the ensuing great fire.

My future great grandmother Hee Ching Shee, in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, packing household items, including a small household shrine to the goddess (Illustration by Yangsook Choi for the children’s book Earthquake written by my aunt under the name of Milly Lee.)

"BaBa hurried out to seek help and returned witha cart and two kinsmen." Family members loaded onto the cart what belongings they could salvage from a ruined Chinatown out to Golden Gate Park during the morning of the Great Earthquake, April 18, 1906.(Illustration by Yangsook Choi for the children’s book, Earthquake, by Milly Lee).

“Up the steep hills, across the city, we pushed and pulled the heavy cart.” (Illustration by Yangsook Choi for the children’s book Earthquake by Milly Lee.)

The book not only offers an engaging historical account but also serves as a poignant homage to the many Chinese who suffered immense losses during the catastrophe.

The Qing-era household shrine or altar of the pioneer family of Hee Hoy (formal name: 許呈輝 (canto: "Heui Ching Fai") which was saved by my great grandmother from the earthquake and fire of 1906 that literally scoured San Francisco Chinatown. (Photograph from the collection of the Chinese Historical Society of America). The figurine is the Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin (觀音; mando: “Guan Yin”; canto: “G(w)un Yum”). As researcher and collector Wong Yuen-Ming observes that the Chinese characters 水月宮 (mando: “shuǐ yuègōng“; canto: “seoi yuht gung“) or “Water Moon Palace” appear in relief on the gold-colored badge placed above the carved wooden alcove for the figurine. The iconography denotes the portable shrine as dedicated to Shuiyue Guanyin (Chinese: 水月觀音; pinyin: Shuǐyuè Guānyīn; canto: “seoi yuht G(w)un Yum“ ) or a “Water-Moon Guanyin.” This traditionally masculine form of Guanyin is often presented as a further manifestation of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin. The religious supplicant invokes the deity for good rebirth, safe childbirth, and enlightenment. The figurine in this artifact appears consistent with the portrayal of Guanyin as a young man or woman. According to scholar Chun-fang Yu, artistic expressions of the Water Moon Guanyin often depict the deity in a relaxed “lalitasana” pose beside a pond or lake with the moon reflected in the water; the moon in the water is a metaphor for the Buddhist tenet of Śūnyatā. Given the devotional popularity of Guanyin in Asian, the Chinese pioneers not surprisingly brought the worship of the Bodhisattva to California, among other deities venerated in southern China.

My grandmother was 8 years old at the time of the great quake and fire, but she never spoke publicly about her experiences. Decades later, and when one of my cousins talked about sleeping in a tent during a family camping trip, my grandmother casually remarked to my Aunt Nim: “I’ve slept in a tent before.”

"Where?" my late Aunt Milly Lee inquired.

"Golden Gate Park, we were there for the earthquake.” The rest, as is often said, remains history and the inspiration for the children’s book, Earthquake.

The protagonist for the children’s book, Earthquake, by Milly Lee. As San Francisco's Hall of Records had been destroyed by quake and firet, a 10 year-old, Lily (a.k.a. Lillian) Hee, sat for this identification photo to accompany a 1908 affidavit (signed by Dr. Minnie Worley) to prove her birth in San Francisco Chinatown as a third-generation Californian.

Ok ok ok so I just googled "松風水月" the name of the building I wrote about yesterday and I got some results.

I found a Japanese site (which I did translate, but I also can read some Japanese) and it's from the writings of Emperor Taizong of Tang. (from: “Great Tang Sanzang Holy Teachings���)

From the site (translated):

"Meaning: A parable of pure character. It is said to be as refreshing as the wind passing through the pines and as clear as the moon reflected on the surface of the water. A word that expresses a pure and noble character."

And I've found even more! From this site (Taiwanese site):

Definition: A metaphor for noble character. Tang. Taizong's "Preface to the Holy Religion of the Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty": "The pines, fengshui and moon are not as beautiful as the clear flowers; the dew of the immortals and the pearls can only make them bright and moist."

Also, a third place, chinesewords.org:

Detailed explanation: As clear as the pine breeze, as bright and clear as the moon in the water. It means a noble character. Taizong of the Tang Dynasty's Preface to the Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty: "Master Xuanzang is also the leader of the Dharma. He has true sensitivity at a young age and realizes the three emptiness early. With a long-term understanding of his expression, he can first bud the four forbearances. The wind and water are not enough. Compared with Qinghua; the pearl of fairy dew can make it bright and moist." Encyclopedic explanation: Pine Feng Shuiyue describes the quiet scenery and is also used to describe people's clear appearance.

not the chaotic north east girls 😭 i swear if we ever meet up we'd set half the town on fire 💀

I swear Teesside won't know what's hit it if we ever meet up 💀

I still can't believe that I've actually met another person from the north east on here. If there are more of you (or even just northerners in general) please let me know 🥴🤙🏽

Just for reference, me and Shay grew up in these neighbouring shitholes towns:

Highly recommend for American tourists to come visit the area 🥰. You won't regret it 💀
