Wang Chuan Feng Hua Lu (忘川风华录) Masterpost

Wang Chuan Feng Hua Lu (忘川风华录) is a Vocal synth (Vocaloid and SynthV) music project. It consists of songs themed around different figures throughout Chinese history. The project is a collaboration between different artists and creatives, with music and videos featuring prominent traditional Chinese elements. The project's title translates to "The Records of Magnificence of the Wangchuan" - In Chinese mythology, "Wangchuan" (or River of Forgetting) is a river in the Underworld that can rid one of their past life's memories, similar to the river Lethe.

A mobile game adaptation has also been developed by NetEast. Unfortunately, I haven't played it so I can't give much insight on it. However, I assume that its premise is similar to that of the idea behind the project as a whole: all these historical figures meeting each other in the Underworld after they died. Maybe.

You can find all the songs on Bilibili. The official Weibo can be found here. The game's website, which includes all characters appearing so far in the game, can be found here, and its Weibo can be found here.

(If you prefer YouTube, I've also put together a handy playlist. Please know that most of these videos are reposts though, so please watch the original Bilibili MVs if you can!)

This blog is where I will be posting everything I feel like I need to say about the songs in this project. A lot of it is lifted from my Twitter account but will be in much more detail. Note that I probably won't touch collab songs, or songs that don't focus solely on the project's own characters.

Disclaimer: I do not speak Chinese, nor am I an expert on Chinese history. Therefore, I cannot reliably translate the lyrics to these songs, nor my words should be taken as gospel. I am merely a nerd gushing about my hyperfixation.

I've been researching turtle-type fantastical beasts of ancient China for my article on the Tulu Xuanwu in MDZS and its symbol as a foreshadowing of Wei Ying's path and ending in his first life.

This was one of the possible candidates. I figure I might as well scan the art and translate the text from the Shanhai Jing and post this as a fandom resource.

Xuan Gui 旋龜 (lit. the Spinning Turtle)- Shanhai Jing / Classics of Mountains and Seas (circa 4th century BCE)

Illustration by Shan Zhe, published in Guan Shan Hai, the compiled and edited version of the OG Shanhai Jing, by Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House.  

My Translation:

Text from the 4th century BCE Shanhai Jing: From Nuyang mountain comes a strange stream. This stream flows to the East and pours into the Xianyi River. In this stream live many black turtles. These creatures have the body of a turtle, the tail of a Hui snake (*: a type of ancient, fantastical, poisonous snake), and the head of a bird.

Its name is Xuan Gui. Its cries are like chopping wood. Wear it on your body to cure or prevent deafness. It can be used to treat foot calluses.

Explanation text from modern anthropologists: Other than Xuan Gui, the Shanhai Jing also mentions other fantastical turtles, such as the three-legged turtle, the Liang Gui, Gui, etc... Turtles are sacred in ancient beliefs. They are seen as the spiritual bridge between heaven and earth, the divine and the mortal. During the Yin Shang Dynasty (a semi-mythical dynasty over 3500 years ago, from 1766 BCE - 1122 BCE. All historical records of this dynasty are lost, and it's only mentioned in texts of a more fantastical nature), turtle shells were used for divination. During the Zhou Dynasty (Wu Zetian's Dynasty, 690 - 705), there existed court officials whose task was to divine the future using turtle shells.

In the Book of Rites (禮記 Lǐ Jì, one of the five founding classical texts of Ancient China, 213 BCE), the turtle is counted among the Four Sacred, alongside unicorn, phoenix, and dragon.

The ancients held the turtle in such high regard due to several reasons. One, its long life span (in ancient times, creatures with long life spans are believed to have a degree of sentience and the potential for the spark of the divine). Two: because the shape of the turtle symbolizes heaven and earth, and the four cardinals). In summary, the turtle symbolizes the ideal values of ancient people: long life, sedentariness, high esteem, and purity of heart.

My Journey To You - Thoughts and Impressions Part 1 of 2

I realise that I've been missing these past few months, i've been on a consumption binge but with little to no bandwidth to write about any show/film irrespective of how much I may have loved them. (depression is an ass) But I can, once again, feel thoughts tingling in my brain and I've decided to get back to writing, something that I deeply enjoy. Anyway, enough about me, let's get started.

To keep the post from getting obscenely long, I'm going to split it into two. This post will be about the technical aspects of the show. Part 2 will focus on the characters.

My Journey To You is a 2023 fantasy, Wuxia show (shows/films that are based in ancient China with martial arts warriors being capable of superhuman feats, like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). It was highly anticipated owing to the amazing trailer (one of the best I've seen)

Plot: The series tells the story of Yun Wei Shan, a spy longing for freedom, who infiltrates the Gong residence to complete a mission. In the eerie and treacherous Gong residence, she encounters love and friendship, embarks on a journey of self-discovery, and finds the determination to move forward. Together with the rebellious nobleman Gong Zi Yu, they grow and mature through their shared experiences. (via mydramalist)

It stars: Yu Shu Xin (Yun Wei Shan), Zhang Ling He(Gong Zi Yu), Ryan Cheng (Gong Shang Jue) and Lu Yu Xiao (Shangguan Qian), Tian Jia Rui (Gong Yuan Zhi), Jolin Jin (Gong Zi Shang) and Sun Chen Jun (Jin Fan)

Written by: Edward Guo.

Series directed by: Edward Guo & Luo Luo

I'll talk about everything I liked before I get into the stuff that I didn't.

Right off the bat, this show has some of the most gorgeous characters you'll come across and this applies to both the men and the women. The costume and make-up departments do an amazing job making already attractive people look ridiculously attractive. They also help the actors really inhabit the world seamlessly. The costumes are especially incredibly detailed and intricate, you can see the care that went into crafting the look for each of these characters. Shout-out to Huang Wei (costume designer) and Shi Hui (Make-up)

One of the best aspects of the show is the cinematography by Wei Hong. This show is aesthetically beautiful, so many absolutely stunning shots. Chinese shows (and Korean shows) love slow-motion shots, and while at times, it can be a bit much, this show makes great use of them, especially during the fight scenes.

The cinematography is helped to a great extent by the excellent production design, courtesy Jiyao Zhang. Like the costumes, the production design too is detailed and intricate. The world feels fully realised and yet also lived in. Each of the different clan mansions, the Front Hill and Back Hill are so incredibly different and distinct that you can immediately tell where you are. An insane amount of hard work went into the show and it shows in every frame.

You can tell that they had a good budget to work with and every bit of it was spent on making the show look as stylized as possible, there is not an ounce of realism to be found here, cue slow-motion beautiful hair flying shots. (Every day I bemoan my inability to make gifs) But the screencaps below illustrate the beauty of the show, it's so gorgeous that you could literally use screencaps as wallpapers.

The fight scenes in the show are some of the best I've seen. They are intense and thrilling and always coherent, you can always tell who's fighting who. The fight scenes are also so aesthetically pleasing, like an exceptionally deadly dance.

Now, we come to the not-so-great stuff.

First off, the marketing. The show was marketed and advertised as an action fantasy show and while there is action and it is excellent, it's not an "action" show. The main focus of the show is on the characters and the internal power struggle of the Gong family. There are also whole scenes, sometimes making up the bulk of an entire episode which are just conversations. I've seen a lot of viewers disappointed and it makes sense. they thought they were coming for action and instead they got verbose conversations.

The pacing also comes to a near-halt in some of these scenes and instead we're treated to lengthy expositions which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it becomes tedious when it happens repetitively.

Now, let's come to the worst thing about the show, it's ending, specifically the last 5 minutes. This end is ridiculously mindbogglingly bad when you consider that there is almost no confirmation on a 2nd season. It's just such a bad idea to end on a cliffhanger like this. If they wanted to leave things open for a potential 2nd season, they could have ended with the Wufeng elders coming together at that character's home, possibly to hold them ransom or something, like literally anything else.

if you're planning on watching this show and I do recommend it, keep in mind that it does get slow and don't watch the last 5 mins of the show. Trust me, you'll like the show a whole lot more if you follow that approach.

Did Jiang Wei ever win a single battle?

A few. How many depends on where you want to massage the records to make him look good.

He may have been involved in Wang Ping's defense of Hanzhong in 244, though if so his role was a minor one since he is not directly mentioned in any account of the Luo Valley campaign.

His most clear-cut victory was over a group of indigenous rebels in 247, as told in SGZ 44.3.

That year, Wènshān's Píngkāng's Yí peoples rebelled, [Jiāng] Wéi led multitudes and suppressed and settled them. Again he set out against the borders of Lǒngxī, Nán'ān, and Jīnchéng, with Wèi's chief Generals Guō Huái, Xiàhóu Bà and others battling at Táoxī. Hú King Zhìwúdài and others led their tribes to surrender, [Jiāng] Wéi led them back and secured and settled them.

His attack on Xiping in 250 didn't produce any results, but he evidently had enough success in the field to capture the Wei officer Guo Xiu - who feigned submission and plotted to assassinate Liu Shan before he realized that Fei Yi was a far convenient target and murdered him instead.

In 254 and 255 he had some success in the field, but once again it did not translate into meaningful results. The same biography has:

Next Year [254], added Commander of Internal and External Military affairs. Again he set out against Lǒngxī, probationary Dídào Chief Lǐ Jiǎn led the city to surrender. Advanced to besiege Xiāngwǔ, with Wèi officer Xú Zhì engaging, beheading and defeating the enemy. The Wèi army was defeated and retreated. [Jiāng] Wéi followed up on victory, with many that surrendered, seizing people from Héguān, Dídào, Líntáo, three counties, and returning. Later Eighteenth Year [255] he again with Chariots and Cavalry General Xiàhóu Bà and others together set out against Dídào, greatly defeating Wèi Yōng Province Inspector Wáng Jīng at Táoxī, of [Wáng] Jīng's multitudes the dead were several tens of thousands of men. [Wáng] Jīng retreated to defend Dídào city, [Jiāng] Wéi besieged him. Wèi's Campaigning West General Chén Tài advanced troops to relieve the siege, [Jiāng] Wéi retreated to station Zhōngtí.

He also had some success in the field during the defense of Shu, where he was able to hold off Zhong Hui long enough that the Wei forces were seriously considering retreat until Deng Ai captured Chengdu. His biography records the events:

When Zhōng Huì led the setting out against Luògǔ, Dèng Ài led the entering of Tàzhōng, only afterward did they send Right Chariots and Cavalry General Liào Huà to Tàzhōng to be [Jiāng] Wéi's assistance, and Left Chariots and Cavalry General Zhāng Yì and Assisting the State General-in-Chief Dǒng Jué and others to Yáng'ān pass to be the outer assistance for the various encirclements. Upon reaching Yīnpíng, they heard Wèi officer Zhūgě Xù was heading toward Jiànwēi, and therefore stationed to deal with him. After over a moon, [Jiāng] Wéi was by Dèng Ài defeated, and returned to station Yīnpíng. Zhōng Huì attacked and besieged Hàn and Lè two cities, sending separate officers to advance and attack the pass. Jiǎng Shū opened the city and went out to surrender, Fù Qiān fought and died. [Zhōng] Huì attacked Lèchéng, could not overcome it, heard the pass was already taken, and continued to advance. [Zhāng] Yì and [Dǒng] Jué had just reached Hànshòu, [Jiāng] Wéi and [Liáo] Huà also had abandoned Yīnpíng and retreated, joining together with [Zhāng] Yì and [Dǒng] Jué, all retreating to defend Jiàngé to resist [Zhōng] Huì. [Zhōng] Huì to [Jiāng] Wéi wrote letter [. . .] [Jiāng] Wéi did not answer the letter, arranging camps to defend rugged terrain. [Zhōng] Huì could not overcome them, provisions were transported long distances, and the officers discussed withdrawing. But Dèng Ài from Yīnpíng by Jǐnggǔ road on the side entered, and then defeated Zhūgě Zhān at Miánzhú. Hòuzhǔ requested to surrender to [Dèng] Ài, [Dèng] Ài advanced and occupied Chéngdū. When [Jiāng] Wéi and the rest first heard [Zhūgě] Zhān was defeated, some heard Hòuzhǔ wished to firmly defend Chéngdū, some heard he wished to go east to enter Wú, some heard he wished to go south to enter Jiànníng, and therefore they led the army through Guǎnghàn and Qīdào to determine the facts. They were by Hòuzhǔ ordered to throw away spears and release armor, and go [surrender] to [Zhōng] Huì at the Fú army's front. The officers and soldiers were all angry, drawing sabers to slash at stones.

There might be one or two more examples of "battlefield victories immediately followed by crushing defeat" that I forgot about, but it's all pretty much in that theme.

As for other victories, it depends on where you want to move the goal posts. You can include battles in which he was a subordinate commander if you want. You can also toss in the instances of local tribes submitting to Shu if you want to stretch things a little farther. You can also go the age-old route of blaming all of his failures on someone else or circumstances beyond his control, a very popular response.

Track 5 of Somewhere In Time, I Love You

Title translation: Of course, it's still you

Kill me quickly, the way you're used to 趕快殺了我 用你擅長的方式 Gan kuai sha le wo yong ni shan chang de fang shi

Each kiss cuts a scar on my heart 吻在心上刻下一把痕 Wen zai xin shang ke xia yi ba hen

[Pre-chorus]

I loved you to death and never met someone so spoiled 我赴死的愛上了你 你的腐朽已成奇蹟 Wo fu si de ai shang le ni ni de fu xiu yi cheng qi ji

My devotion was nothing but a slight breeze through the grass 我的絕對不過微風吹撫青草地 Wo de jue dui bu guo wei feng chui fu qing cao di

[Chorus]

I am just a fruit fly that's not afraid of being obliterated 我是一隻不怕灰飛煙滅的果蠅 Wo shi yi zhi bu pa hui fei yan mie de guo ying

Facing your cruel heart is truly just right 面對你的壞不過剛好而已 Mian dui ni de huai bu guo gang hao er yi

And that's beautiful to me, something that other people wouldn’t understand 那對我來說便是美麗 別人無法明白的東西 Na dui wo lai shuo bian shi mei li bie ren wu fa ming bai de dong xi

I can see it, your true heart 我看得見 你的真心 Wo kan de jian ni de zhen xin

Comprehensive Biography of Meng Jian

Meng Jian, styled Gongwei (孟建字公威), was a civil official for Wei. He was a travelling colleague of Zhuge Liang at one time.

Ancestry

Meng Jian came from Runan Commandery.

Life

Meng Jian, along with Shan Tao, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang, travelled around China to study. Zhuge Liang told them,

"Gentlemen, when you serve in posts, you shall be commandery administrators or inspectors."

When Meng Jian and the others asked Liang what his life purpose was, Zhuge Liang merely laughed and said nothing.[1]

After travelling for a while, Meng Jian grew to miss his hometown and wanted to return north, only for Zhuge Liang to tell him,

"China has many talented grandees! You are traveling to study, why must you go back to your hometown?"

Meng Jian probably dismissed Zhuge Liang's advice and went up north, because he was soon recorded serving Wei.[1]

Wei

In 223, when the incumbent Inspector of Liang Province; Wen Hui died, Meng Jian succeeded him. He was known for governing it well and later became the General who Conquers the East.[2] Later, in 231, when Zhuge Liang was attacking Wei, he replied to a message from Sima Yi and had Du Xi sent his regards to Meng Jian.[3]

Hi! 🙂 what do you think of Jiang Wei & Zhong Hui?

Hmmm good question. Also sorry if this took a long time to respond to. So! Jiang Wei I find interesting as a character, but he's a lot more interesting when his motives are called into question and his flaws aren't smoothed over (but he's mainly affiliated with Shu so of course that happens a lot). As a historical figure, I'm kind of inclined to go the route that the historian Bo Yang did, who wrote about how different historians appraised him and when someone asked him what his personal opinion of Jiang Wei was, he said 'well uh, I uh, agree with all of them to some extent or another'. I think he often gets too much of the burden of Shu's downfall lifted from his shoulders, and that gets loaded off onto Liu Shan, but they're both to blame to an extent, and plenty of other people, too. So basically, 'it's complicated'.

Zhong Hui, as a character, I also find interesting. I particularly like him in Dynasty Warriors, he has an odd charm to him despite his weird kind-of-but-not-totally pseudo egotism. I also appreciate how he apparently respected his mother a lot, to the point that he wrote a biography for her after she died. I would like to see his mom in Dynasty Warriors someday, I know she has a design in Shin Sangoku Blast so it's a possibility. Historically he's honestly kind of hilarious, like... How many times did he forge letters to achieve his ulterior motives, even. So many people suspected him and he acted so suspicious sometimes and yet he managed to get pretty far.

I think I have asked this before, but I'll ask again. What does a successful Jiang Wei/Zhong Hui rebellion look like? With Deng Ai gone, could Shu have been restored in a different sense, or was there a different plan, such as Jiang Wei getting rid of Zhong Hui?

Zhong Hui laid his plans out pretty clearly. Best case scenario he advanced north and captured Luoyang (as Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei failed to do), replacing Sima Zhao as the emperor's keeper - and perhaps putting himself on the throne sooner or later. If that failed, he believed he could always be "another Liu Bei", living like a king in Shu for the remainder of his life.

As for Jiang Wei, it's hard to say what he envisioned. A lot of it depends on what you think of him as a person and whether his loyalty to Shu and Liu Shan went any deeper than his personal ambitions. Maybe he thought he could restore Liu Shan to the throne if he captured Chengdu. Maybe he thought of taking it for himself, or putting a puppet on the seat. Maybe he would have been content to serve as Zhong Hui's general.

New MV from 柯智棠 Kowen.  Beautiful ballad!   =D

I dunno how he gets that vocal timbre, but it’s very unusual.  Not gravelly, not raspy, but cloudy. Hard to describe. (P.S. If anyone wants to chime in with a better description, I will include it in this post!)
