Wei Wuxian: What’s up guys? I’m back!

The Jins: What the-you can’t be here. You’re dead. We literally saw you die!

Wei Wuxian: Death is a social construct.

Reading about the cultural and social importance of bathing throughout Chinese history (because I am exactly the kind of person who spends hours reading about the cultural and social importance of bathing throughout Chinese history for no particular reason on a Tuesday night) and obviously now I'm imagining the sects all lowkey competing with regards to their public baths -- or at least the ones meant for visiting disciples and dignitaries.

The Jin are obviously doing The Most and being incredibly tacky about it. The floor of the bath is made of gold tile that dull super quickly and the whole tub needs to be frequently drained so the tiles can be deep cleaned and polished, and of course once they're shiny they reflect light up and through the water in a way that's actually really distracting. The bath bean has crushed pearls and seventy four different types of flowers in it. The benches are intricately engraved and inlaid with gems in places that pinch your butt when you sit on them.

The Nie have a natural hot spring that they have turned into their main public bath. The massive cavern houses a number of varying-sized pools, some of which interconnect and others of which are freestanding. The free standing pools are typically treated with different soaks to give the water various medicinal properties (most often for things like muscle aches or minor injuries, but also for skincare and such.) I imagine the Nie recipe for bath-bean would include animal fat and pancreas, making it very rich and cleansing.

Part of me wants to say the Jiang would just bathe in the lake but that seems cheap to me, so instead: Through a combination of well-placed pipes and clever array work, the Jiang bath house feels like a mini indoor rainstorm, with water falling in thousands of warm droplets from the ceiling above to fill the pools, which are more shallow that a typical bath would be. There are built-in overhangs you can sit under to get out of the "rain" while still being in the water. If requested the rain can be "turned up" and the lights dimmed, and cymbals crash so you feel like you're really standing out in a raging thunderstorm, which some people find incredibly soothing and others find terrifying. I can't think of anything unique for the bath bean other than lotus flowers but I do think, given the proximity to the river, that mud wraps would be a common treatment offered.

The Lan... probably have the worst public baths, actually. They may not even actually have a public bath at all. If they do have one, it's not meant to be a place of luxury or entertainment, although of course it would be tastefully decorated and comfortable. Rather they'd find some way to make public bathing less about socializing and more about silently meditating while pretending you aren't surrounded by other naked people. I guess the cold springs kind of sort of count as a public bath but not really. Bath bean smells distinctly medicinal, but obviously whatever is in it works, because the Lan all look Like That.

The public bath in Qishan stopped being a popular attraction when Wen Ruohan stopped having visitors, but for years their bath was one hell of a marvel. Massive, bronze statues of phoenixes would be heated until glowing-hot and then lowered into the stone tub, filling the air with thick steam. Patrons would sit around the room on their benches, sweating it out until the statues had cooled enough for the water to be safe to enter. If you wanted a cold bath, the adjoining room was also home to a massive bronze statue, this one of a dragon that sat in the center of the tub and poured cool water out of it's mouth. Bath bean was made with plant ash rather than rice or soybean powder, and the water was all treated with volcanic ash.

And, because I am Me, the Wei sect: I'm imagining a dark hall deep in the cave systems, the floor lined with man made in-ground pools of varying sizes not entirely unlike the Nie baths, however these pools aren't connected to an outside water source or each other. There are illusion arrays carved into the walls that send out glowing, ghostly shapes of fish and otters and other river creatures swimming through the air. The pools are filled through overhead pipes that pour water, oils, and herbal mixtures into the pool, and each pool has access to it's own set of labeled levers, so a person or group of people can customize their bath while they're having it, adding more cool water, hot water, or various add-ins. The bath bean is more of a paste due to the addition of a ton of collagen. (They get it from the kitchen's bone broth. The bones are not human, but that doesn't stop visiting disciples from scaring each other about it. Don't piss off the Yiling Louzu or you'll end up in the soap.)

Am kinda glad that Jin Ling is a Jin, weirdly enough. Even though this clan has sabotaged him so many damn times, I know he will be able to reform it if u get what I mean.

Because this is a guy who clearly cares about the commoners and the less wealthy people in his area, like when he went to night hunt the hook ghost.

This is also a guy who has an uncle in Wei Wuxian, an honourable guy, who will absolutely steer JL in the right direction. Along with Lan Wangji who will always show his support in bunnies or his quiet prescence.

Maybe the Jin sect won't be a place where injustice reigns supreme instead it will probably become a place where no marginalised groups will be turned away anymore.

Maybe women like mianmian won't have their voices covered over their male counterparts.

Maybe illegitimate children like Jin Guangyao won't be thrown off the stairs anymore, instead they'll be welcomed by the standoffish but welcoming Jin Ling.

Sure Jin Ling will face a lot of stumbling blocks in the form of the the old, corrupted elders but he's a tenacious kid, if he wants it to happen, it will happen dammit.

I have zero idea if someone has pointed this out before but mxtx is a genius in symbolism.

So the representative flower for the Jiang Sect is the lotus flower （蓮花）, and the Jin representative flower is the peony （牡丹). There's this very famous piece of literature that represents the symbolism these flowers hold in Chinese culture, namely 《愛蓮說》, which about translates to "sayings out of love for lotus". It's like an essential part of Chinese literature curriculum for any Chinese student, and it compares the values the daisy flower and the peony flower represent against the values the lotus flower represent.

The lotus is heralded as the saint/role model (君子) of flowers, as it represents purity, perseverance, independence, upstanding moral values in general, and most importantly, the ability to remain pure/untouched even while living within filth. A lot of these values coincide with the Jiang Motto "Attempt the impossible", or rather attempting to do the right thing even when it seems impossible. And in a way, the Jiang siblings all represent some aspect of the lotus flower. Jiang Yanli grows up kind and soft spoken even with a mother like Madam Yu, and believes in Wei Wuxian even when the entire cultivation world despises him. Jiang Cheng displays perseverance and independence in how he rebuilds the Jiang sect, and while I don't want to get into the debate of whether or not he's a really good sect leader that cares about the commoners, or his morals in general, one irrefutable fact is that he rebuilt the Jiang Sect to it's former glory at a very young age, something that should be nigh impossible. And Wei Wuxian, while not morally pure, does attempt to do the thing he considers right, against all odds, which is actually what led him into the messes he gets into. And of course, he grows up on the streets for ages 4 to 9, yet manages to keep on being kind and selfless instead of growing bitter, retaining his morals and the teaching his mother ingrained in him. So really the Jiang siblings to greatly embody the values of the lotus flower, something I bet mxtx intended.

As for the Jin sect, having the peony as their representative flower really is the best insult mxtx could've come up against them. The peony, in Chinese literature, embodies wealth and Conventional beauty. 《愛蓮說》 goes a step further and criticises people who love the peony flower to be following the masses, and that by liking the peony flower, people are prioritising wealth, power, reputation, or are more keen on leaning on the powerful so they're safe and Conventional instead of prioritising doing the right thing and having the right values. Which of course, is a perfect reflection of the Jin Sect. Jin (金 in chinese) literally means gold, and it's reflected in how the Jin sect is presented to be wealthy and quite frivolous in spending. It also reflects how the cultivation world chose to follow Jin Guangshan, and later Jin Guangyao in condemning Wei Wuxian, because the Jin Sect has great influence, wealth, and power, and in the end it's safer and easier to go along with them.

Tldr, mxtx was an absolute genius with her using flower symbolism to represent the Jin and Jiang sect values, as well as the role they play in mdzs.

It's JGY's "performing the customer service persona in front of your own family" that really nails down the estranged-child-born-out-of-wedlock dynamic for me.

[Sims4] MDZS - Lanling Jin - Golden Carp Tower 金鳞台

Hi All, I'm back with a new build for Sims 4. This is the The Golden Carp Tower of Lanling Jin Sect!

I have received a lot of love and requests to download the previous 2 MDZS Sims4 Build series. I'm sorry for my late reply, as I rarely open my Tumblr.

I have replied to all the messages, and for you new readers who somehow discovered my Tumblr, don't be shy and drop me a DM for the download link. Please expect a delay in reply, as I rarely open my Tumblr.

Now that I'm back and have some free time, I finally got to re-visit my Sims4. Continuing the MDZS / the untamed build series, here I present you the residence of Jin Sect in Lanling City. The Golden Carp Tower (金鳞台, Jīnlín Tái; lit. Golden Scale Tower; also: Jinlin Tower, Koi Tower, Carp Tower) - source https://modao-zushi.fandom.com/

There's not much reference to Golden Carp Tower from the animation or the live-action series. However, watching the series, I feel that Lan Ling Jin's residence is very beautiful, a bit feminine, with a lot of flowers. As the name suggests "Tower", Lan Ling Jin's residence should be a tall building with long enormous stairs.

source: https://modao-zushi.fandom.com/wiki/Golden_Carp_Tower

I found a beautiful castle built by one of the Sims 4 players, and I worked around and renovated most of it to suit the style of Lan Ling Jin's residence that I remember from the animation and live-action series.

THE BUILD

Overall look from above: LanLing Jin's Golden Carp Tower

Due to limited capabilities in Sims 4, I tried hard to fit in ideal stairs to the castle. I am proud of the end result. Dominated with yellow gold and light green, the Golden Carp Tower looks elegant with a huge garden and outdoor space. The tower stood on a 64 x 64 lot.

THE ENTRANCE

The entrance with big stairs is the highlight. With Jin Sect's emblem

BUILDING MAP

The 1st-floor situation is giving a big outdoor area in the middle. From the entrance, you can walk straight to the main building where the throne of the sect leader is located and the main room and house for the main family. On the sides, you'll find supporting buildings, which each have their own function.

GARDEN LANDSCAPE

The vast beautiful garden will greet you right through the high stairs and gate before entering the main building.

THE THRONE

Main building situation, where the leader of Jin Sect sits and welcomes important guests.

On the right side, we have some leisure space and a dining room which then extends to lounge space. Upstairs we have a bedroom

Lounge and Guest Room

Kitchen

We have a pond and a nice creative space on the left side of the main building.

Little Library

Little Pond was created by Jin Zixuan for Jiang Yanli when the latter missed Lotus Pier so much Jin Zixuan created the pond to mimic Lotus Pier. How sweet :)

Dormitory

SURPRISE BASEMENT

Down below the Jin's Sect leader's throne, we have another throne and space for different occasions. This is where the party happens, a beautiful garden hall.

On the left side, we have a study room, where the teacher will lead the learning of Jin's sect students.

On the right side, we have a material arts practice space.

CHILL & RELAXING SPACE

Jin Sect, as one of the wealthiest families in the series, of course, needs a place for leisure with fancy facilities. We have an onsen with a nice bathroom and lockers next to the material arts dojo room. It's a nice location for the students to recover and relax after practice.

THE CULTIVATION AREA

Lastly, since I will never be able to let the magic stuff not be embedded in the house. For me, the magic furniture really completes the MDZS / The Untamed Universe in the Sims. This is where the magic and rituals happen.

BEDROOMS

Bedrooms, bathrooms, and private study room.

That's all pretty much the overall look of Lan Ling Jin's Golden Carp Tower from the Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed / Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation series. Of course, there are a lot of rooms, like the main bedrooms, more bedrooms, and the academy area, which I haven't put in here. Thus, for you who are interested in downloading and adding this beautiful build to your gallery and Sims world, feel free to DM me for the files!

See you in the next post!!

there's something that confused me in your dark baxia fic: the part where you said jgy was forced to acknowledge jzx as the firstborn despite being older. ISNT jzx the older brother?

Egh.

Okay, so a handful of us got into this discussion on twitter, because there were a whole lot of things that just didn't add up if you started trying to make sense of the character ages and timeline and social strata. I'll try to lay out our points of reasoning as best as I can.

- Unlike in CQL where sect kids of disparate ages were thrown together with literally no explanation (they didn't even give us an "Oh, it took Jiang Yanli the extra four years to get her cultivation up to a teachable level" or anything) because they needed as many central characters there as possible for Exposition Reasons, it's implied in the novel that all the summer lecture students are of a similar age.

- Nie Huaisang is on his third round because he's under orders to keep at it until he graduates, but at least one of the two previous years was "early", which means he's either the same year or one year older as Jin Zixuan.

- Jin Zixuan and Jin Guangyao are both Feb 20 kids, but Jin Guangyao is older than Nie Huaisang. So at minimum, he's 1-2 years older than his half brother.

- At the same time, Jin Ling refers to him as Xiao Shushu and Jin Zixuan refers to him at least once as A-Yao. The former is a variant of Uncle reserved for your father's youngest brother (which should have been Mo Xuanyu, but it's pretty clear that no one actually treats him like a family member, including Jin Ling), and the latter is considered an almost rudely intimate way to address someone older than you (unless they're a servant/considerably lower on the social ladder) and Jin Zixuan would have known that.

SO.

- Considering that Jin Guangshan is such an asshole that he would "legitimize" his bastard son using the wrong generational name (HUGE insult, tantamount to not even including him in the family register at all, or even expressly saying he hoped said son would die before him), the lot of us came to the conclusion that he's also enough of a prick to further humiliate Jin Guangyao/cut him out of the line of inheritance by forcing him to give up any claim whatsoever of having been the firstborn son.

- Did Jin Zixuan ever know about this, or did he really think Jin Guangyao was younger than him? Hard to tell! If he did know, then based on the fact that he was willing to stand up for a servant he thought was being maliciously deprived of credit for her work, one would think he would be similarly protective of someone he's related to. But at the same time, he's spent his entire life raised around extremely toxic attitudes concerning the existence of his half-siblings, and might have thought he was already making enough waves wrt Jiang Yanli. Ultimately, since he died while still in his Character Development stage, there's no "definitive" answer, just how different fanfic writers want to handle it.

But there you go.
