Wang Chuan Feng Hua Lu (忘川风华录) is a Vocal synth (Vocaloid and SynthV) music project. It consists of songs themed around different figures throughout Chinese history. The project is a collaboration between different artists and creatives, with music and videos featuring prominent traditional Chinese elements. The project's title translates to "The Records of Magnificence of the Wangchuan" - In Chinese mythology, "Wangchuan" (or River of Forgetting) is a river in the Underworld that can rid one of their past life's memories, similar to the river Lethe.

A mobile game adaptation has also been developed by NetEast. Unfortunately, I haven't played it so I can't give much insight on it. However, I assume that its premise is similar to that of the idea behind the project as a whole: all these historical figures meeting each other in the Underworld after they died. Maybe.

You can find all the songs on Bilibili. The official Weibo can be found here. The game's website, which includes all characters appearing so far in the game, can be found here, and its Weibo can be found here.

(If you prefer YouTube, I've also put together a handy playlist. Please know that most of these videos are reposts though, so please watch the original Bilibili MVs if you can!)

This blog is where I will be posting everything I feel like I need to say about the songs in this project. A lot of it is lifted from my Twitter account but will be in much more detail. Note that I probably won't touch collab songs, or songs that don't focus solely on the project's own characters.

Disclaimer: I do not speak Chinese, nor am I an expert on Chinese history. Therefore, I cannot reliably translate the lyrics to these songs, nor my words should be taken as gospel. I am merely a nerd gushing about my hyperfixation.

Kaleidoscope of Death by Xi Zixu JJWXC / Novel Updates

Chapter 17: Insider’s Story

Probably because many people had roasted them for their names before, Cheng Qianli spoke up before Lin Qiushi could say anything: “I already know what you want to say, just don’t say it!!”

It turns out that what Samuel said in that panel: 사형 ("Sahyung") was most likely a double pun. It means both "death penalty" (死刑) and "senior under the same tutelage" (師兄). PTJ sometimes added the Hanja (Chinese Characters) to avoid ambiguity in rarely used terms, but this time he purposefully didn't.

Historically, "Sahyung" was the term of address in martial arts world. This was used to address the disciples who learned earlier, or were more skillfully advanced, or were more favored by the masters. The trainings were long, rigorous, and arduous so such terms were created to pay some respect to the masters and disciples' dedication.

However, we must remember that Samuel was drug-induced to rage and oblivion (like Johan). So it also makes sense that he saw Jake as an enemy to be put to death.

To Samuel in that panel, Jake was both an enemy and a senior. In Samuel's eyes, Jake was someone who was more skilled, more favored, and went through so much with and against him, but not necessarily a brother in an affectionate way.

I hope this helps.
