 liddi:

Fun fact.

The way Tong Hua renamed some of her characters/locations is such a clever play on the original names and/or strokes, which enabled her to change the names while still retaining the references to the original:

共工 Gong Gong - renamed to  洪江 Hong Jiang
- the 氵in Hong Jiang's name is a radical that refers to water, and Gong Gong is a water god in Chinese mythology. In addition, the word 洪江 is basically 共工 with the added 氵radical.

嫘祖 Lei Zu - renamed to 缬祖 Xie Zu
- the 纟 in 缬 xié is a radical that refers to silk or cloth, and based on Chinese tradition, Lei Zu discovered sericulture, and invented the silk loom. In Tong Hua's universe, she could breed silkworms and make the most beautiful silk.

祝融 Zhu Rong - renamed to 炎灷 Yan Zhuan
- the 火 in Yan Zhuan's name is a radical (and an actual word) that means fire. Even the name itself means "flame" (炎 ) and "source of fire" (灷). Zhu Rong was the god of fire in Chinese mythology

后土 Hou Tu - renamed to 珞迦 Luo Jia
- 珞迦 LuoJia mountain is a holy place in Wuhan, China where the goddess Guan Yin was said to have practised cultivation. From a distance, the mountain resembles a reclining Guan Yin resting on the ocean. Hou Tu is the goddess of all land and earth, according to Chinese mythology

昌意 Chang Yi - renamed to 仲意 Zhong Yi  (Cang Xuan's father)
- the word 仲 means "second", and often used to refer to the order among brothers e.g. second oldest brother, second youngest brother. Chang Yi was the second of Lei Zu's two sons. 

蜀山昌仆 Shushan Chang Pu - renamed to 濁山昌仆 Zhuoshan Chang Pu  (Cang Xuan's mother)
- here, the word 蜀 is cleverly changed to 濁  with the addition of the  氵radical, while still appearing similar to the original word.

九黎 Jiu Li - renamed to 百黎 Bai Li
- a simple change of the number 九 (nine) to another number 百 (hundred) was employed here

跳花节 Dancing Flower Festival - renamed to 桃花节 Peach Blossom Festival   (in Once Promised)
- the change of the radical from ⻊ (which refers to foot) to 木 (wood) effectively changes the meaning from "dance" to "peach", while remaining similar in appearance

For the whole 2019 version of LYF you can check in this link: http://m.xsbiquge.la/chapters/36337

The 2013 version: https://luoxiadushu.com/changxiangsi/

I usually use following translation tool: Google translate, Bing translate, 百度翻译-200种语言互译、沟通全世界！ (baidu.com) ; dictionaries: HanBook Online Dictionary - Best Chinese online dictionary with pronunciation and translation and Chinese Dictionary: Practice Writing & Character Memorization by Inputting English, Pinyin, Or Chinese! (writtenchinese.com) 

you can play around with the text to find the exact word. And there are variation across the translation tool. I always check the meaning of the word that can have different translation using dictionary. The Han dictionary tool can translate the whole sentence too

 The nickname for Tan Jianci that shows up when he reveals his muscles.
