notes:
* these kanji are the logographic used for the title on their respective card. i understand this is logical given CSS is a japanese work. however, the character in the story that created the cards is chinese and the cards themselves are based on daoist concepts. for this reason i did my best to translate them as this is a list of the chinese names that would be (in my opinion) the cards “true” names. the rest of the infographics are mutually understandable between chinese and japanese kanji.
not listed by hierarchy, just sorted alphabetically for easier navigation.
i’m not a native speaker. i’m at a hsk 2 level at best, so feel free to correct me if there’s any mistakes.
