Question: your favourite Dixing worldbuilding?

[china_shop]

What are some of your favourite pieces of worldbuilding about Dixing, from canon, or your own or someone else's fanworks?

Some of mine are:

1. Dixing has a glass factory. (I don't know if I or nnozomi came up with that; maybe we both did in parallel? Maybe someone else did first?)


2. The Dijun's throne being a relic of the spaceship. (I read that in a fic; anyone recognise it?)


3. The various wildlife possibilities, including keeping moles as pets.


4. “In the age of light there were feast days every week or two. Since the Hallows were lost, we only really observe the oldest holidays.” Lao Chu twirled the point of his knife against his fingertip; no blood resulted, so it couldn’t have been as sharp as it looked. [...] “Night of the Ancestors, the Bitter Melon Festival for the harvest – though most of the crops are blighted now – and Hei Pao Shi Day.” (From here.)

I do like the idea that it was originally a device to pilot or run the spaceship!

And yeah, in Dixing the throne might originally have run on whatever energy source ancient Dixing was built on, which must have come from the spaceship. The meteor presumably destroyed that - and when Dixingren went back underground and rebuilt after the war, it would have made sense to re-engineer it to make it run on Hallows energy instead ...
