Can anyone explain what's the difference of Wuxia & xianxia?
Wuxia is achieved by pure martial arts in our world with settings in ancient China while Xianxia means immortal heroes that incorporates Chinese mythology that often set in a fantastical version of ancient China.
Both genres share elements of martial arts and adventure, wuxia is more grounded in human experiences and ethics, whereas xianxia delves into the fantastical, focusing on immortality and spiritual cultivation.
The writers shouldn’t have named the countries used on this drama to something similar to the ones in real life. It’s not about the mistranslations anymore, it’s actually the fact that they used a similar name for the countries and distorting the scenes in the drama compared to what’s actually happening.
It turns out, Netflix may have fucked up the translation. But some say it was ambiguous and the translation could…
Don’t look at translations, the fact that they used another word for Palestine which sounds like it and the fact that they have distorted history means everything. Paltima as another word for Palestine is never ambiguous.
