“欲买桂花同载酒” / Zhongli’s osmanthus wine idle line

(Disclaimer: I don’t know that much about syntax, so I apologize for the wildly inaccurate syntax trees. I made the mistake of warming up with something that’s not English prose haha… I’ll be focusing on the meaning of the line and its hanzi characters, so the syntax is only there to help me explain some things.)

.

“欲买桂花同载酒”…

.

This line is from the Chinese songci (宋词, a form of traditional Chinese poetry) 《唐多令·芦叶满汀洲》，by 刘过 (Liu Guo). It’s the one referenced in Zhongli’s osmanthus wine idle line in Chinese. (By the way, it does not directly mean “Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember”, but more on that later.)

载 (zai3) as a verb could have the meaning of “to carry (something)(with a vehicle)”. For example, “这车可载三箱酒。” = “This car can carry three crates of wine.”

And since the rest of the songci talks about a harbour scene with boats, 载 could indeed be seen as a verb in the poem’s context, and the vehicle is implied to be a boat. So in the context of the songci, this line could be understood in English prose as “[I] wish to buy some osmanthus and ride [a boat] along with some wine.”

.

However, despite the songci’s context, none of these hanzi characters in the line itself directly mean “boat”. While looking at it closer today, the syntactic structure felt a little strange to me even though I’m not familiar with Chinese songci syntax.

It turns out 载 has multiple meanings. 载, pronounced with the fourth tone (zai4), as a preposition used in pairs (in modern Chinese), could mean “simultaneously” or “at the same time”. For example, 载笑载哭 should probably mean “laughing at crying at the same time” or “laughing while crying”…

Also, the original songci doesn’t follow the osmanthus line with a section about old friends, but instead the idea of old friends is actually mentioned two lines prior. For the bolded sections, I’m doing a modern English translation, referencing the modern Chinese translation from the Gushiwen website here, but note that the original songci uses the poetic Chinese wenyan (文言) syntax.

.

“黄鹤断矶头，故人今在否？旧江山浑是新愁。欲买桂花同载酒，终不似，少年游。”

“故人今在否？” = “Are [my] old friends still alive in this moment?”

“欲买桂花同载酒” = “[I] wish to buy some osmanthus and ride [a boat] along with some wine.”

.

It’s pretty cool that Genshin Impact alluded to the friends idea present in the poem too. Also, both Liu Guo’s songci poem and Zhongli’s line use the term 故人 (gu4ren2) to mean “old friend(s)”.

.

Meaning, Zhongli’s poetic-sounding Chinese idle line “欲买桂花同载酒…只可惜故人，何日再见呢？” is closer to “I wish to buy some osmanthus and also some wine… But as for those old friends, when would I meet them again?” in modern English with the game’s context (without taking into account that the real poem alluded to here is about boating). (This is a rough translation that follows the overall sentence structure in Chinese a little closer.)

Thus Genshin Impact’s English localization of “Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember… But where are those who share the memory?” might actually be okay in terms of meaning even if it lacks the nuance from the poetic reference. Well, I would’ve liked the first part (the songci) to be localized in Shakespearean English, and the second part to be in modern English, since the difference in syntax and tone still stands out a lot in Chinese… In an English localization, if a character who usually speaks in English prose suddenly quotes something in Shakespearean English, it’s easier to pick up on the fact that it might be a line of poetry ‘cause of the contrast, I believe.

.

Somewhat unrelated, but in terms of poetic structure, it seems the entire poem in Chinese has an usually strict rhyming scheme, rhyming nine out of the twelve ending sounds together (roughly speaking. Not gonna go into the phonology of it haha)

Usually Chinese songci have a more diverse (?) rhyming scheme. E.g. “水调歌头•明月几时有” by 苏轼 (Su Shi), which miiight be the base inspiration for Liyue’s general storyline and cast

.

In the end… Zhongli quotes a line of songci with seven hanzi/syllables. It’s a wild guess but maybe it refers to the original Seven Archons?

欲买桂花同载酒…只可惜故人，何日再见呢…

It’s kind of funny how Zhongli complains about Venti being a drunkard when he mentions osmanthus wine every. damn. second.

Zhongli x Reader (Osmanthus Wine)

● ————————— GENSHIN

→ ABOUT / Zhongli loves Osmanthus Wine; it just so happens that you are that glass of wine. "Osmanthus Wine tastes the same as I remember ... but where are those who share the memory~ "

→ DEMOGRAPHIC / gn ! reader (you are Osmanthus Wine)

→ CW / osmanthus wine + weird descriptions of him drinking wine (slightly NSFW???? idfk)

→ EXTRA / I'm writing this while my family is arguing about US Politics at 12:30 AM /srs

——————————————————————————————————

A fresh glass of Osmanthus Wine sat on the table ahead of Zhongli; to be fair, he couldn't afford it, so he had to borrow some money from Childe before Zhongli could enjoy his coming feast, but it was all in good favor, because admittedly, he'd saved Childe from a near death experience a few days prior.

However, this Osmanthus Wine was different from the other glasses; it had a consciousness. You looked up at Zhongli, though he didn't seem to notice your presence. We meet again, you thought, bracing yourself before he took the first sip with those magical lips of his. Years later, after our first encounter; I taste the same, I can assure you, but where are those who share the memory?

Zhongli sighed, "Osmanthus Wine is as beautiful as I remember," he wraps his hand around the glass you're situated in, his fingers almost trembling from how long he's gone without a glass of this magical liquor. The gloves felt soft lifting you into the air, as he tipped it in the air lightly, swirling you around in the glass confinement before finally raising the fine drink to his lips and taking the first sip.

Oh, Archons, it felt amazing. His tender lips sweet like getting your first kiss from him; that small part of your liquid state tingling as it slid down his throat, sighing a pleased sigh after swallowing. "And it tastes the same as I remember ... oh, where are those who share those memories?"

Zhongli closed his eyes, remembering back to a time with his comrades where he could enjoy fresh glasses of wine in a peaceful Liyue, untattered by conflict from the Rex Lapis Crisis and the Fatui's trade antics.

The city bustled with chatter and footsteps, and the trees glistened in the night air as orange leaves fell symbolizing the changing from Summer to Autumn.

He prepared himself for another taste of the delicious mixture; once more, you were raised to his lips and sipped on again, this time hearing the faint swishing in his warm mouth, before he swallowed yet again, enjoying the taste even more. You lingered in his mouth until the waiter came back, holding a clipboard and a stylish black and gold pen. "May I take your order for an entrée?" He asked, holding the pen to the paper, smirking underneath his big round glasses.

"Mm, yes, I believe I am ready. If I can, I'll take the... Slow-Cooked Bamboo Shoot Soup, please," he continued to read the menu a bit longer, just in case.

The guy quickly scribbled down his order on the paper, before thanking Zhongli, twirling around, and heading back inside the restaraunt.

Hurrying to finish his drink so he could order another -- considering the bill wasn't on him -- Zhongli drank faster, enjoying every last sip of your taste.

Almost finishing the drink, you sighed in relief, as you swayed into his mouth, to be replaced by more Osmanthus Wine.

"Osmanthus Wine really does taste as I remember," he smiled. He'd have to get Childe in on this sometime.

How about jean (genshin impact) with a reader who is very dumb but with good intentions (like homer from the simpsons if you know him)

-> 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐧, 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 !

✦ -+- ✦

-> 𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐮𝐦𝐛 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 .

-> How you both met :

-> . . . How do I even start this ? You were basically just being yourself and just ONE day . . . you lost a certain item and went to the knights to help search for it . But hoho, the best part is that you actually PAID them mora . . . they really do actually thank you, especially Jean since she's never received anything like this before !

-> You two start as friends and hang out, whenever Jean was stressed with work you'd always be there to help . Oh how kind you were . . . sometimes Jean doesn't even think she deserves you .

-> And then on one fine day . . . Jean woke up feeling weird around you . Why was there . . . a feeling of butterflies in her stomach ? Does she like you ? No . . . she can't like you, you viewed her as a kind friend of yours ! Just like how you view the others . . . but soon enough, she stopped denying her feelings for you and plans a whole entire confession .

-> How she confessed to you :

-> She called you to her office on Saturday since . . . she had nothing to do . You had that beautiful cheery smile on your face as always and asked her why'd she called you . She finally stops dozing off and looks at you nervously with a closed eye smile as a bead of sweat dropped from her face .

-> She then asked you to sit down in the chair in front of her desk and you did as told, she starts the confession with a " I've been feeling kind of . . . weird around you for the past 3 months [ Name ] . " and then she goes on about how she thinks that she likes you . " I - it's okay if you don't like me back, I'm not gonna force you to . " But hoho, fate had other plans . You also confessed to her that you'd been going through the same thing and in the end . . . you guys actually became girlfriends, woohoo, congrats !

-> How your first date went :

-> You decided to take Jean on a date as a surprise, you also asked some of the Mondstadt people especially that ONE person who always goes to the knights for the most easiest things to fix themselves to not bother Jean for now and somehow you convinced them all to not do so . You planned the date as a cute little picnic with you and Jean, you even bought two cute outfits for you two !

-> Jean felt quite happy for the past few days and you knew why . You then continued to go up to her with a bouquet of beautiful flowers and told her you had surprise later, she immediately blushed when you kissed on her cheek . You surely were sweet, doesn't really matter if you were dumb . .

-> Jean was wearing the beautiful blue dress and you were too wearing the cute blue [ insert any type of outfit ], you guys looked really cutesy, even some passing travellers complemented on how you two look like such a cute couple ! You held Jean's hand and walked to the vast green way, and there prepared a cute little picnic with . . . Hilichurls dressed in maid outfits ? ! The Hilichurls were preparing a meal for you two and you told her to not worry about anything since . . . the Hilichurls were like your friends, and with that, Jean calmed down a little .

-> Everything went fine and in the end, you two kissed eachother gently on the lips, you couldn't stop smiling about it and so did Jean .

-> When someone insults you for being ' dumb ' :

-> . . . How dare they ! They don't know how sweet and kind you are . A random person who you tried to help but failed miserably said that, what's wrong with being clumsy ? Sometimes Barbara is clumsy too and she doesn't even get insulted for it ! I mean, if she did then something's gonna happen . . . Jean scolds the person as the person had their head down in shame, you tried telling Jean that it was okay but she told you that it isn't . In the end, Jean was the one who won 'cause she's a girl boss <3

-> 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 ! 𝐈 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬, 𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 . 𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐰𝐚𝐲 - 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 <𝟑
