THE SEATS OF THE FIVE GREAT SECTS - and one small non-sect

不夜天 Búyè Tiān - Nightless City - of the Qishan Wen

金麟台 Jīn Lín Tái - Golden Carp Tower - of the Lanling Jin

不净世 Bùjìng Shì - Unclean Realm - of the Qinghe Nie

云深不知处 Yúnshēn Bùzhīchù - Cloud Recesses - of the Gusu Lan

莲花坞 Liánhuā Wù - Lotus Pier - of the Junmeng Jiang

乱葬岗 Luànzàng Gǎng - Burial Mounds - of the very unofficial Yiling Wei

People that have easy novel access and enjoy correcting other people: What, exactly, is the motive Qishan Wen gives to burn down the Cloud Recesses? I can't remember and for some reason my brain is supplying "they refused to send the disciples" but I'm pretty sure that's a plot point in some fic I forgot about.

Headcanon that there's absolutely no way the sword Nie Huaisang gave to the Wens was his real one, considering how his father died...

Wen Ruohan literally sabotaged their father's saber, causing it to break during a nighthunt and get him killed.

There's absolutely no way his da-ge would ever risk Wen Ruohan or any of his sons getting their hands on his little brother's saber...

More likely, it's hidden away in a qiankun pouch.

I doubt that they searched them going in — if they had, they probably would've just confiscated their swords then. Why wait?

Thus, I believe that the reason why Nie Huaisang was so willing to hand over his sword when asked was not just because he hates using it anyway, but also because it was literally just a decoy sword.

The hell flames eat our homes, our lives, our love. Who is born from the ashes? The hero or the villain? Or is it both? 

This is probably one of the most painful scene in mdzs 😭 the sudden upheaval and destruction of Lotus Pier, the siblings forced to mature in one night, the absolute loss of their identity. And the fact that even though Lotus Pier was rebuilt, it was never the same again; the memory of blood and screams and smoke permeating everything.

Happy 3rd anniversary to The Untamed

Among the cultivation world, there was a countless number of sects and clans, exceeding even the number of stars in the sky. And, among these, there was a titan which stood above the others without a doubt — the Qishan Wen Clan.

found a quiz “Which MDZS Sect Do You Belong In?” (by bluerecesses), you can check this out for fun:

well, here’s mine:

Wen Ruohan shouldn’t drink caffeinated coffee because of his blood pressure. He ignores this advice.

Wen Xu has yet to find somewhere that serves americanos to his exceedingly high standards.

Whatever Wen Chao orders, the barista has ‘made it wrong’. There are several cafes that simply will not serve him anymore.

Wang Lingjao orders things that aren’t on the menu on purpose.

mdzs is so sickening because it’s truly just a story driven by tragedy, every character has their own. The Nie Sect with a generational curse that drives them to madness and loss, the Lan Sect with their strict rules that tore their main family apart, the tragedy of the twin jades’ parents(not to mention the abysmal way women are probably treated there but that’s a different topic entirely), the Jin Sect with a self-absorbed, power-hungry rapist at its helm, the Jiang Sect with its unhappy Zhongzhu and Madame that passed down their pains and traumas onto their children, and the Wen Sect, with a monster for a leader, leaving no one with a chance to be anything more than what he wanted them to be. Every character and by extension, every sect, has its own unique tragedy that pushes the story forward and it makes me quite a bit insane.

#mdzs #cql #gusu lan #lanling jin #qinghe nie #yunmeng jiang #qishan wen #and like every character has a trauma relating to said sect tragedy #from every level from Lan Qiren to Jin Ling and it’s something that is just so so mind melting #like the way that every character interacts with the story hinges on that specific trauma #like jgy and nmj and literally even oyzz

Qishan Wen keeps reminding me of Imperial China's Qin Dynasty.

There is a work of Wuzi "Evaluating the Enemy", where he discusses how to defeat six surrounding hostile powers, based on the terrain, character and government of each region.

Qin's nature is strong. Its terrain is difficult. Its government is severe. Its rewards and punishments are reliable. Its people do not yield; they are all belligerent. Therefore they scatter and fight as individuals. As the way to attack them, one must first entice them with profit and lead them away. Their officers are greedy for gain and will separate from their generals. Take advantage of their separation to attack them when scattered, set traps and seize the key moment, then their generals can be captured.

(Mark Edward Lewis: The Early Chinese Empires)

Doesn't this sound like Qishan Wen?

Accordding to Wuzi here the Qin's unforgiving terrain comes hand in hand with the people's fierce character. And that, in turn, results in the need of an even fiercer government, which acquires loyalty through great rewards and terrible punishments.

There are other works that link a region's geographical features with the characters of their inhabitants, such as the Tribute of Yu or Xunzi's philosophical works.

These texts compare the North with extreme yin (shady, dark and cold), and the South with extreme yang energy (bright, sunny and hot). Though the latter wasn't exactly supposed to mean superiority to the darkness and cold. In fact, a later text describes the South (under the Yangzi, plenty of moisture and heat) as a zone of desease and death full of poisonous plants and a toxic atmosphere. It was also reffered to as the Land of the Sun. Just like Qishan.

Now, I'm aware, Qishan in mdzs-verse is not on the South. Quite the opposite, it's rather on the North-West. Still, take a look at this related, 1st century A.D. text:

The fiery air of the sun regularly produces poison. This air is hot. The people living in the land of the sun are impetuous. The mouths and tongues of these impetuous people became venomous. Thus, the inhabitants of Chu and Yue [middle and lower Yangzi] are impetuous and passionate. When they talk with others, and a drop of their saliva strikes their interlocutors, the arteries of the latter begin to swell and ulcerate. The southern commanderies are a very hot region. When the people there curse a tree, it withers, and when they spit on a bird it drops down dead.

(Mark Edward Lewis: The Early Chinese Empires)

Ooff bit harsh innit. But North or South, no difference, Qishan is supposed to be scattered with volcanoes, which still matches the description of extreme heat, toxic air and harsh environment.

And the same links between geography and character appear a lot in mdzs. Pretty visible from the coldness of Nie Mingjue (see, the northernmost clan), through the easy-going nature of the Jiang and the refined nature of the Lan, to the abundance of the entire Jin clan (on the trade-wise advantageous East).
