    Interesting fact! Dvorak, or actually correctly written Dvořák, is a Czech name! It was also a surname of a world-famous music composer Antonín Dvořák. I'm sure you've heard some of his work like the well-known symphony no 9 'From the New World'. Anyway, that's why it doesn't sound very..ehh french haha. I'm sure you won't have as much of a hard time pronouncing the french names as you would have with some of the Czech ones. Especially the ones containing the letter Ř. As a person from Czechia myself, I was so pleasantly surprised to see some representation in the game and that they actually attempted to pronounce the name correctly!! It made me so happy.

The part of Czech republic that's probably the most fitting to be part of the Fontaine instead of Shneznaya like probably the rest of the Slavic nations or Mondstadt as u said (tho I guess Čechy jsou bližší Německu, obzvlášť Sudety než Morava) is Moravia! I didn't realize that omfg, fo course it's the wine! And still, as whole, Czech republic/Czechia is famous for its music and artistry (and back in the day for its technological progress as well), it kinda really make sense why they put us in with them. Maybe we will be somewhere between Mondstadt and the Fontaine, with the new areas coming and all. I'd love to see some more czech names appearing!
      Maybe Czech republic will be split! The Moravian (a Slezsko) part will be in Fontaine and the Bohemian part more in Shneznaya or perhaps "to be added" Mondstadt parts

      This can only explain by Hu tao has guess Venti(and Zhongli) is some kind of Longevity, thus she make this poem, then Venti answer back yes

    Fun fact: the names of the secretaries Baixiao 百曉, Baishi 百識, Baiwen 百聞 all have meanings. The word "Bai" means hundred as in 100. Their Chinese names literally translate to Baixiao = knowing a hundred things (could be skills or knowing of what's happening), Baishi = knowing a hundred things (in terms of knowledge), Baiwen = hearing a hundred things. It would seem that the three of them literally are each an extended eyes and ears of Ningguang, that they have to report everything they heard, learned, or saw to her.

    2:32:23 I can explain this: in Chinese culture, it is not appropriate to accept the toast raised from the elders or someone superior than you. This is considered super disrespectful and people believe your longevity will decrease if you do so. That is why Xiao felt very embarrassed and uncomfortable. In the four human kids mind, Xiao is obviously the most honored guest and he was qualified to accept any toast from other "young humans". But Zhongli and Venti are actually elders and superior gods. Xiao was not supposed to accept their toast But he couldn't tell the truth as well.

    I am 100% convinced Hu Tao and Venti plotted together to put this dinner together. I can see Venti visiting Zhongli last Lantern Rite to catch up with his friends after all these years and Hu tao was with Zhongli in that cutscene so they could have met and Hu Tao absolutely seems like she knew for a time that Zhongli was Rex Lapis and would understand that Venti is Barbatos but would still treat them as random guys. She was probably ready to stir up trouble and Venti wanted to see his friends and join in, so they pranked.

    1. Adepti are pretty much like Immortals from Chinese legends. They can change their appearance freely, they don't age, they can't fall ill (unless it's some supernatural bullshit and there is a lot of bullshit in those legends), and basically can't die unless killed. Interesting thing is that because their bodies can't change its "state" women immortals can't have children of their own which is probably why they are so fond of taking lost children from vicinity as students XD
    2. Another thing is that Chinese poetry is reaaaallly hard to translate and Hu Tao is THE MASTER of unconventional poetry XD Since there was so much of it during this lantern rite, the translators just settled up with confusion XD Awkward is the best word to describe most of Hu Tao's voice lines in English, nothing new here 🤷
    3. Twitter is hell.

    The story of madame Ping and guizhong is actually a reference to a Chinese legend: Buoya and Ziqi.
    In ancient China, the two were good friends. Buoya was good at playing the guzheng, and Ziqi was good at listening the sound of guzheng. When Buoya played the guzheng while thinking about mountains, Ziqi felt the majestic mountains from the sound of music; when Buoya played the guzheng thinking about flowing water, Ziqi felt the vast rivers. After Ziqi's death, Buoya never played the guzheng again, because he knew that no one could understand his music like Ziqi.

Last year's just didn't have that same feeling since all the hype was on the rebuilding of the Jade Chamber and the event story was more of a Keqing story quest that just happened to take place before at Lantern Rite.

    My only criticism would be the English translation of the Hu Tao and Xinyan song in the cutscene. Chinese and Japanese sounded so much better, they should have given the English VA Team a bit more freedom in translating, cuz an exact 1:1 translation of a song is pretty hard.

    @KHMidoriNoHibe 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The thing about Madame Ping: I think the adepti has the ability to "de-age" aka make themselves physically young again. It's safe to say they have "aged" in the sense of maturing over the years and their minds have grown in wisdom. Like, look at Xaio - he looks like a teenager yet he's very old. If he wanted too, he could make himself appear older, but i think he doesn't care as long as regular humans don't bother him as much. For Madame Ping, i would like to think she chose to age herself into an elder for a few reasons: physical symbolizing she's an old adepti; be an unsuspecting old woman in Liyue Harbor; or the idea of growing old to make time feel like it's going forward. It's already hard to tell how much time as passed in regular life, so how would you tell if time moved forward if you don't physically age with it? As for her fingers' dexterity, i think of it more as she hasn't practices the zither in decades, which would mean her fingers and movements wouldn't be as smooth as if she played the instrument everyday. Without constant practice, your fingers are bound to become stiff and tense.
