Question: your favourite Dixing worldbuilding?





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 [personal profile] 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.)

OMG, what an image! :D

(The Regent is probably too power-hungry/self-important to ever want to be seen as off duty? Unless he needed to avoid responsibility for something, I guess. *g*)

He would at least pretend to be always working, a tireless advocate for the Dixing people. I still like the thought of his casual day off, though :D

Good point, yeah.

And there are more people in robes, after all - the Attendant/Deacon, for example. I'd definitely buy it of him.
