metcalph Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 p279 Kuochilinglishen,, the Western God of Travellers worshipped at Lianghe, is probably Kochalongson. Any relationship between him and the King of Lankst is unknown. p280 The Yellow Crane Tower in Seshan is probably based on the RW tower https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Crane_Tower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecake Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) I just assumed Kuochiliinglishen was Issaries (or conceivably Etyries),connecting it to Kocholang seems extraordinarily long bow, based only on pronounciation or is there more? New Dragon Inn is a classic 1960s wuxia film from Taiwan, remade twice under variant titles in 1992 and 2011. All are pretty well known.

davecake Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Lakow - a stone egg is highly reminiscent of the egg the Monkey King hatched from in Journey To The West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecake Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) It seems very awkward that Huan Shan Monastery and Mo GUI valley, which on the map are so close that essentially one seems to be in the other, are described so differently- Mo Gui valley is full of Huan To and ghouls, Huan Shan monastery is the center of a huge group of monasteries and temples.

davecake Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Yangku - the Blue -faced Beast is perhaps an allusion to Yang Zhi, one of the characters from the Water Margin, possessor of a magic saber and a blue birthmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecake Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Jade Warriors - this could be an allusion to all sorts of things, including a dodgy British prog band, Kung Fu panda, a Finnish (!) wuxia film, or a comic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecake Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I don't know about the Red Lacquer King, but the Lacquer King was known in Han dynasty folk tales. He was supposed to assist with the application of Lacquer, but cause a rash, and shamans would humiliate him (by rubbing e.g. Rat feces on his statues) to threaten him into stopping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
