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 don't think it would break down that neatly across pre-existing demographics, but two groups of "ooh let's play with the new environment" vs. "ugh just leave us alone" would make a lot of sense!

probably not, but I think it would be kinda hilarious if it did. I guess I wonder if there was a distinct difference between the Yashou and Dixingren before the Dixingren became.... Dixingren. Or did that split happen based on which group decided to do what?

Could be either, but I always assumed it was just based on what they decided to do, yeah.
