Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) and Yu Jiaolong, aka Jen (Zhang Zhiyi), battle in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000).

I saw this film opening weekend at a large theatre in Los Angeles that was packed (Keanu Reeves snuck into the audience that night). The crowd, which was more the typical art house/film festival audience than kung fu/wuxia fans, went absolutely nuts after this scene.

On this date in 2001, at the 73rd Academy Awards, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (2000) was named Best Foreign Film.

The four main actors all spoke Mandarin, but with different accents. Chow Yun-Fat had a Cantonese accent, Michelle Yeoh had a Malaysian/English accent, Ziyi Zhang had a Beijing accent, and Chang Chen had a Taiwanese accent. Because of the difficulty some Chinese-speaking markets had with the voices, some markets actually had a dubbed version (into standard Mandarin) of the soundtrack. According to Yun-Fat, he had to do twenty-eight takes of his first scene on the first day of shooting, because he had such difficulty speaking Mandarin. When asked in an interview with Time Magazine how he felt about his Mandarin pronunciation, he replied, "It's awful."

As Yeoh did not speak Mandarin, the script was presented to her phonetically with help from Mandarin-speaking crew members. In fact, her Malaysian accent can be heard throughout.

While Zhang's character is obviously highly trained and skillful in martial arts, the actress herself never had any official martial arts training at all. Instead, she used her dance techniques to learn her moves in these scenes as if they were a dance rather than a fight (which, in terms of creating and filming them, is actually not that far from the truth).

Taiwanese-born Hong Kong actress Shu Qi was originally cast in Zhang's role of Jiaolong Yu and worked on the film for several weeks, until her agent pulled her from the movie to do a Pepsi commercial in Japan. She has since changed agents. The first draft of the screenplay said, "You will note in the script that none of the fight scenes are described, and I will just inform you now that they will be the greatest fight scenes ever in the history of cinema, period." (IMDb)

playing the milkshake cas challenge by @saruin! this is actually my first time using a non-human skin tone as i'm not too fond of abnormal skin tones, but it turned out amazing! this is an entirely new sim, so i randomly named him jiang yu (江鱼) — "jiang" for river while "yu" for fish lol.

did you know in chinese media based on chinese mythology, people sometimes like to think that merfolks are related to dragons? it may be because of the azure dragon/qinglong (青龍), one of the four guardians; or perhaps the word "jiao" appears in both jiaolong (蛟龙, an aquatic dragon) and merfolk/jiaoren (蛟人). perhaps jiang yu is one of them hehe...

i just noticed that his tattoo (on p1, for his 2nd skin colour) looks yellow instead of green, this is caused by the reshade i used. this tattoo also doesn't appear in his mermaid form even after i had attempted to edit the tattoo to be visible for all occults on s4s... at least the fish scales in his mermaid form gave justice to it...

btw the tail cc i used is longer than usual, so the caudal fin has been blocked by the floor. what you can see are his anal fins. you can see the entire tail in this screenie post!

birthday: green first name (based on my english name): green last name (based on my english name): purple fav fruit: blueberry/white fav drink: tea/red toppings: chocolate shavings/retro (i failed) extra — fav flavour: chocolate/horns

Year of the Dragon 龙年

Year of the Dragon 龙年

Enter the wood Dragon. Another day & beginning the cycle That leaps into a turbulent Transformative lunar new year.

Your lucky numbers 1, 6 & 7. 3 & 8 avoid if you can. Lucky colors gold, yellow, silver. Limit blue & green Advised the sage.

& the obligatory red, Fan Tai Sui must be appeased. Wear red briefs, red socks, Red knickers, anything red. & go to church, temple, Synagogue or mosque.

Celebrate with family & with or friends. If solitary is your serving Open the window, smile! Let us invite Another new year in.

What can be said About entering the Dragon. That divine creature. Creator, Destroyer & shapeshifter Said to take on human form.

Identified with Jiaolong, Not those ferocious flying Fire breathing dinosaurs. More benevolent, Less malevolent, This Dragon breathes The clouds instead.

A composite of a head Shaped like a camel, Antlers of a stag, Ears of a bull, Body of a snake, 117 scales of a carp, Belly of a clam, Feet of a tiger, Talons of an eagle & eyes of a demon – Ever seen a demon? Have it as you will.

Tenacious, Courageous, Tianlong could lead the world. A dominant, ambitious spirit, Even emperors proclaimed it: I’m a son of a Dragon – I’m a son of Heaven.

So why in the Great Race Did you come 5th place? Jade Emperor bemused, Queried why you not first? Such a powerful being You can fly without wings, The Dragon took a pause & proceeded to explain.

There was a fire blazing In a village en route. The people begged for water To extinguish the danger. The Dragon produced rain Which took a little time.

Then flying over the forest, & back on track, He saw a crane to be eaten By a fierce wild dog. The Dragon intervened & the vigorous fight took Longer than expected.

Then on the last leg, Over the swirling current, On course to break The finishing tape on land. He saw the rabbit in distress, Desperately clinging to a log. Took pity & advanced A helping hand. Puffed the magic Dragon Forfeited the glory, Easing the grateful rabbit Safely to shore.

Impressed Jade Emperor, Though the Dragon came 5th, Sanctioned it To reside in the celestial sky. & master the creatures Of the bountiful seas. & made an engineer, Master of the rain – ordained An immensely generous & noble being.

Symbol of power & honor: Though out of all in the zodiac The only fictious character.

Lunar year starts tragic – Raging conflicts, Problematic elections, Economic strife, Seething inflation, Job insecurity, Some going hungry, Double digits Just to live in your home.

Pleading to Tianlong. Before immersing in longwu, We summon you to petition Jade Emperor Yu Huang:

Calm this earthly thunder. Work your magic Work your wonders. Project your reflection – & if we make it 祝你好运: The year of the Snake, Slithering through.

Records of Liu Yuanhai

[From JS101. He probably was not actually Yufuluo’s grandson.]

Liu Yuanhai was a Xiongnu of Xinxing. He was a descendant of Modu. His name violates Gaozu [of Tang]'s temple taboo, for that reason of this he is called here by his courtesy name. [They both had the personal name Yuan淵]. Earlier, Gaozu of Han used a clan girl as Princess, to thereby marry Modu, agreed to be brothers. For that reason his sons and grandsons thereupon dared to surname their clan Liu.

At the beginning of Jianwu [25 – 56 AD], the Wuzhuliu Ruodi Chanyu's son, the Aojian Rizhu King of the Right, Bi, established himself as the Southern Chanyu, entering to reside at Meiji in Xihe. The present Zuoguocheng in Lishi is precisely were the Chanyu moved. [?]

In the middle of Zhongping [184 – 189 AD] the Chanyu Qianqu sent his son Yufuluo to command troops to assist the Han, and punish and pacify the Yellow Turbans. It happened that Qiangqu was killed by the people of the state. Yufuluo accordingly with his multitudes stayed with the Han, establishing himself as Chanyu. During the chaos of Dong Zhuo, [he] pillaged and plundered Taiyuan and Hedong, garrisoning in Henei.

When Yufuluo died, his younger brother Huchuquan was established, and used Yufuluo's son Bao as Worthy King of the Left. He was Yuanhai's father. Wu of Wei divided their multitudes into five sections, and used Bao as Chief of the Left Section. For the remaining section chiefs allways used the Liu clan for them. [?]

In the middle of Taikang [280 – 289 AD], changed to set up a Chief Commandant. The Left Section resided at Zishi in Taiyuan, the Right Section resided at Qi, the Southern Section resided at Puzi, the Northern Section resided at Xinxing, the Middle Section resided at Daling. The Liu clan, although divided to reside in five sections, all resided in Jinyang at the bank of the Fen brook.

Bao's wife Ms. Huyan in the middle of Wei's Jiaping [249 – 254 AD] prayed for a son at Longmen. Soon after, there was a big fish. On its head were two fishes. With lifted fins and jumping scales it then came to the sacrifice [?]. After a long time it then left. The shamans and mediums were all amazed by it, and said: “This is a auspicious omen!”

That night she dreamed that in the morning saw the fish change into a person. In the left hand he held a creature, big like half a chicken egg [?], the shining with a light not common. At this uncommon scene, he gave [it?] to Ms. Huyan, saying: “This is the essence of the Sun. Ingest it to beget to a worthy son.”

She woke and told Bao. Bao said: “A fortunate sign! I formerly followed Zhang Jiong of Handan's mother, Ms. Situ's judgement [?]. She said that I would have worthy sons and grandsonThe clouds we undertake to have valuable sons and grandsons, and for three generations there would surely be great glory. This resembles and fits the judgement like a tally.” Thus, after thirteen months, she begot Yuanhai. In his left hand was written his name, they therefore named him that.

As a boy he was brave and intelligent. At seven sui, he met with grieving for his mother. He beat his chest, jumped, shouted and yelled. Pity filled the neighbourhood. [?] The lineage, clan and section groups all together sighed in admiration and appreciation. At the time, the Minister of Works, Wang Chang [SGZ27] of Taiyuan, heard and was pleased with him. He both dispatched condolences and helped pay the funeral.

As a young child he excelled at studying, his teacher in affairs was Cui You [JS091] of Shangdang. He practised Mao's Poetry, Mr. Jing's Changes and Mr. Ma's Book of Documents. He particularly excelled in Mr. Zuo's Commentary to the Spring and Autumn and Sun and Wu's Principles of War. He knew the outline of all and chanted them [?]. The History [of Sima Quan], the [Book of] Han, and the Various Masters he could not but arrange and look at [?].

He once spoke to Zhu Ji and Fan Long [JS091], teachers of the same school, saying: “I always see in the books and commentaries, that the common and low follow the land without the martial, the falling flood without the civil [?]. The Way depending on people is vast [?], without knowledge of a single thing [?] , firmly the humiliation by a lordly master. The Two Teachers met the Exalted August and yet were not able to establish the profession of fief lords. The Pair of Excellencies belonged to the Great Lineage and yet were not able to begin the praise of village and hamlet schools [?]. What a pity!”

Hence he thereupon studied military affairs and subtly cut off from the masses. [?] He had “monkey arms” and was good at shooting. His bodily strength and power was beyond men. He had an admirable bearing and was big and strong, he was 8 chi 4 cun tall [c. 202 cm]. His beard was more than 3 chi long [c. 70 cm], in the midmost he had fine hair at three roots [?], 3 shi 6 cun long [c. 85 cm].

There was staying in the village [?] Cui Yizhi, Gongshi Yu of Xiangling and others, both good judges of people. When they saw Yuanhai, they were startled and they spoke to each other, saying: “This person's shape and appearance is not ordinary, not seen by me.” Hence they deeply honoured and respected each other [?]. and pushed split and join kindness. [?] Wang Hun [JS042] of Taiyuan humbled his heart to befriend him, [?] and instructed his son Ji [JS042] to bow to him.

In the middle of the Xianxi [264 – 265 AD], he became a hostage son in Luoyang. Emperor Wen deeply waited for him. Late in Taishi [265 – 274 AD], Hun again often spoke of him to Emperor Wu. The Emperor summoned and talked with him, and was greatly pleased with him. He spoke with Wang Ji, saying: “Liu Yuanhai has an admirable bearing and reflective [?]. Even You Yu and Midi would not add to him. [?]”

Ji replied: “Yuanhai has an admirable bearing and reflective is truly like the sagely purpose. His talents in the civil and martial and personal worth at the two son his martial and civil talents virtuous body to the two distant masters [?]. Your Majesty can similarly rely on him accordingly in the affairs of the south-east, where Wu happens to not be sufficiently pacified.” The Emperor called it good.

Kong Xun and Yang Yao advanced, saying: “Your Subjects have seen the talents of Yuanhai, and must now dread without this comparison [?]. Your Majesty is similarly light on his multitudes, they will not be sufficient to thereby complete affairs. If you make use of him for power and authority,  after the pacification of Wu we fear he will not return and cross north. He is not of our kind, and his heart must surely be different. To rely on him thereby with the home section, Your Subjects have the audacity to have cold hearts for Your Majesty. If we recommend Heaven obstructing him firmly to thereby support him [?], is not this therefore not possible?” The Emperor quietly affirmed.

Later Qin and Liang were turned over and lost. The Emperor inquired after someone to command and lead. Li Xi of Shangdang said: “Your Majesty is truly able to send out the multitudes of the Xiongnu's Five Sections. Make use of Yuanhai with a single title of General [?]. When he strikes the drums and goes west, we can point to a time and it will be settled.”

Kong Xun said: “The words of Excellency Li will not exhaust and exterminate the reasons for suffering.”

Xi quickly affirmed, saying: “Using the strong and brave of the Xiongnu, Yuanhai's daybreak troops [?],  soldiers, serving and spreading the sagely power, how do they not exhaustively do it?”

Xun said: “If Yuanhai is able to pacify Liang province and behead Shujineng, [I] fear Liang province will just then have difficulties and that is all. When Jiaolong obtained the rain clouds, it did not return to the middle of the pond.” The Emperor therefore desisted.

Later Wang Mi [JS100] came through Luoyang on his return east. Yuanhai saw Mi off at the bank of Jiuqu. Weeping, he spoke to Mi, saying: “Wang Hun and Li Xi use country twists [?] to see and recognize, each time addressing each other intelligently [?]. Slander between because of it and yet  they advance. It is deeply not my desire, it is just sufficient to be injured. I originally had no thoughts of officialdom, only to satisfy beneath and clarify it. I fear I will die in Luoyang, eternally separated from the Masters. [?]”

Because that he earnest and indignant snorted and sobbed. He indulged in beer and long roars. The sound tuned brilliantly, [?] those sitting became running with tears from it. The King of Qi, You, was at that time at Jiuqu. He compared what he heard [?] and quickly dispatched to observe it. Seeing Yuanhai being there, he spoke to the Emperor, saying: “Your Majesty has not removed Liu Yuanhai. Your Subject fears Bing province will not be peaceful for long.”

Wang Hun advanced to say: “Yuanhai is tall. [?] Hun is Lord King protecting and clarifying him. [?] Moreover the Great Jin's regions display truly different customs. His breast is distant due to virtue. [?] If like this, why, without  sprouting his suspicions, kill the attendant sons of the people [?], thereby showing that Jin's virtue is not great.” The Emperor said: “Hun speaks correctly in this.”

It happened that Bao passed on. Used Yuanhai to replace him as Chief of the Left Section. At the end of Taikang [280 – 289 AD], he was designated Chief Commandant of the Northern Section. He clarified the penal laws, forbid the evil and wicked, made light of wealth and excelled at giving, pushed forward the honest and connected with people. The Five Sections' talented heroes could not but come. [?] In You and Ji he was famous among Ruists well-known among scholars, afterwards schools for elegant gentlemen [?] were not for a distance of a thousand li [?], likewise everyone travelled to him.

When Yang Jun [JS040] assisted the government, he used Yuanhai as General who Establishes Power, Great Commander-in-Chief of the Five Sections, enfeoffed as Marquis of Guangwu district.

At the end of Yuankang [291 – 299 AD], he was incriminated in his section people rebelling and setting out for the passes, and was dismissed from office. [As a result of Han Duyuan's rebellion?] The King of Chengdu, Ying, was headquartered at Ye. He petitioned for Yuanhai to act as General who Tranquillizes the Boreal, and Overseer of the Army Affairs of the Five Sections.

When Emperor Hui lost control [?], bandits and thieves rose in swarms. Yuanhai's cousin, the former Chief Commandant of the Northern Sections and the Worthy King of the Left, Liu Xuan, and others furtively discussed it, saying: “Formerly our ancestral people had a covenant with Han to be brothers. The grief is exalted similarly to this [?]. From the perish of Han we have thereby come, and the Wei and Jin eras rose. Our Chanyu, only has an empty title, without repeatedly the patrimony of a foot of land. From the various kings and lords, [we] have declined to be like a bundle of households. Now the Sima clan's bones and flesh are destroying each other. Within the Four Seas the cauldrons bubble. To rise up the nation and return the patrimony; this is the time! The Worthy King of the Left Yuanhai's bearings is a receptacle cutting off ordinary people, he personally jumps over houses [?]. If Heaven does not restore the venerated Chanyu, in the end not the empty life of this people. [?]"

Hence they in private together pushed forward Yuanhai to be Great Chanyu. They therefore sent their faction member Huyan You to go to Ye, to thereby report the plan. Yuanhai requested to return to attend a funeral. Ying would not permit. He therefore ordered You to first to return, and report to Xuan and others to summon and assemble the Five Sections and to pull out and meet the various Hu of Yiyang. [He?] made sounds saying he were obeying Ying, but actually he was turning his back on him.
