I think in that era in LYF when the world was young and the gods still lived on the earth, there was probably not much communication between the residents in different places. People are tied by blood and live together in tribes. Each region has its own very unique culture and traditions, such as Jiuli and Ruoshui. These tribes are loyal to the kingdom to which they swore allegiance(like the Ruoshui). Different magical animals and plants live in different lands, which have different spectacular scenery (such as those "beautiful as fantasy" islands mentioned by Xiang Liu). In the drama, A Nian has traveled with Cang Xuan in Dahuang for many years, because she loves Cang Xuan, and it must also be because she enjoys this kind of travel that may be more exciting and interesting than traveling around the world today. In addition, CX once said to XY:"Whether you go back to Haoling or go traveling around Dahuang, it is better than enduring the danger here with me." From this, it can be inferred that in their world, traveling around the world is quite worthwhile to do (But of course, if you don't have strong enough spiritual power or guards to defend yourself, it is also very dangerous).

This has nothing to do with Dahuang, or Lost You Forever, but it’s Tan, so have some prettiness:

Michael Kors Interview

He is so cute! And...hahaha he's wearing high heels? Is it so blatant now hahahaha...

The heels, the voice, everything. It’s exhausting. He’s so extra. Why is he like this??? 

 Sharanya:

Also I think there are less boundaries between men and women in Xiyan than the other two kingdoms.. Xingyue's nature is quite bold even when it comes to express her love.. she pursued Cang Xuan boldly in public and said it's normal for Xiyan females while Fenglong seems to reluctant to let her do so, but she didn't feel shy even once... And, for Xiaoyao, she has to follow the etiquette to meet Jing or Fenglong... 

Yes, Xin Yue grew up in Xiyan City, but Cang Xuan, the prince of Xiyan Kingdom, grew up in Haoling Kingdom, which pays attention to etiquette. He still cannot get used to the enthusiasm from his hometown... Hahaha why is it a bit funny! As for XY, because she is the princess, she has to abide by the country's traditions? But wait... She sneaked into TSJ's room in the middle of the night and slept in the same bed with him all night!

I have another question....

Xiang Liu is a nine-headed snake and Jing is a nine-tailed fox... Then why Xiang Liu considered as Demon and Jing regarded as God??? Aren't they both animals turned humans?? Is there any specific reason for this?? 

What I observed from other dramas like Ancient Love Poetry, that nine-tailed foxes were also demons, but here Jing is God despite being fox... And also same goes to Pheonix, in some dramas, Pheonix clan is considered as Demon like other animals and birds, but in some they are regarded as Gods and have high status...

Is it era difference in Chinese Mythology or something else is the reason???

I don't think Jing is a 9 tailed fox, but has traits.  Jing's parents were deities and he was born a deity, and that's his true form.  His clan descends from a 9 tailed fox demon and presumably a deity, so occasionally fox demon traits show up in the Tushan clan.

Xiang Liu is a demon, which means his parents were demons, or he was born an animal and cultivated into a demon / human form.  His true form is a 9 headed snake.

Hey I found this interesting article about how ah nian is mirroring with Xiang liu 

Also as much as I ship tushan jing X xiao yao, I have always thought it would be interesting to pair Xiang liu X ah nian instead of killing him and making ah nian one of Xuan’s 10000 wives 

What do y’all think ?

Why do you hate XL so much?  No one deserves to be saddled with A Nian ... except CX, who is partly responsible for her attitudes.  I despise A Nian.

Of course, others tell me I'm somewhat unreasonable about A Nian. ;p

Thank you for the articles.  I'm not sure I'll read them, cause, as I said, A Nian arrrrrrgh.

If you want to re-create the picture of Dahuang, I recommend you to check Once Promised. In that novel, Tong Hua spent more ink to write about the ordinary people, different places in Dahuang.

Regarding why Xiang Liu is a demon, Jing is a god, Kokuto has already answered: In terms of bloodline, Jing is basically a god, but has a little bit of blood of Nine-tailed Fox, so he has some of the abilities of the Nine-tailed Fox.

As for whether these "god-like ancient creatures" such as nine-tailed foxes and phoenixes are regarded as demons or gods, it is generally like this: In essence, these unique creatures born with intelligence, high spiritual power, longevity, and man-like rationality and self-discipline, they are actually almost indistinguishable from the gods (except that their true form is not human form, and they usually still have some animalistic qualities in their characters). Therefore, whether they are regarded as demons or respected as gods often depends on what they do. If they use their abilities to do good deeds and help the weak, then they and their descendants will usually be respected by people and called gods. If they have made great contributions, they may be officially given a hereditary title by the gods. And if they use their abilities to do bad things, they will be regarded as demons and may be captured or killed.

If Xiang Liu is willing to live, I can agree him marrying Chuan Zi... Indeed, if he and A Nian fall in love, I think A Nian will not allow him to die under any circumstances. She will do whatever she could, even threatening him with death. From this point of view alone, A Nian is more suitable for Xiang Liu than Xiao Yao, and he will live to protect and take care of his ignorant A Nian. Although A Nian's character is a bit troublesome, she listens to the one she loves and will make him happy. My only wish for Xiang Liu is that he can survive and be happy in the rest of his life, so I will bless whoever can do this...
