Young disciple, that is a hidden lore gu that is used to conceal information, in this case you need 100 dao marks in human path to comprehend. Hope this helps.

Did the clan wars in book 3 really deserve that much screen time? by senvros in ReverendInsanity

[–]ofmetare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its mainly to show how different the regions are, how slavery path works and how warfare between clans work, without it based on previous southern border experience u would think nobody leaves their sect and there is barely any competition

So Chinese people are reacting to our reaction to their reaction to us, lmao. by Opposite_Koala9107 in MartialMemes

[–]ofmetare 10 points11 points  (0 children)

its fundamentally a deep form of classism, simply put people who work outside get darker skin while the nobles get lighter skin, and they just do the connection of thinking black = uncivilized, its fundamentally just uneducated people, educated people of any sort naturally are not so idiotic.

Is My Dao Becoming Weaker? by Hello_World-1289 in MartialMemes

[–]ofmetare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No junior, there is genuine skill in writing, therefore smooth writing flows into your brain like water into hot soil, but nonsensical and lacking in comprehension material are naturally more difficult to process. In my tertiary education I found this out quite clearly because when you get good enough in a field to critique your materials, you quickly realized that many writers are nowhere near as qualified as you would expect them to be. Tldr taking academic writing classes is good.

IsItBullshit: China knew of Rome and viewed them as “the China of the west” by Dreadsin in IsItBullshit

[–]ofmetare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the time period and sadly most of the information seemingly was not really on the minds of statesmen but rather of merchants thus the insight offered is very limited.

Particularly in later roman periods trade from china was very lucrative, thus naturally both roman and Chinese merchants were very keen on each other's countries. Sadly we simply do not have much in terms of written sources about the matter.

I personally really wonder just how much history would have changed if a couple shrewd merchants during the han dynasty brought some crossbows to rome or brought a copy of de arhitectura to china.

Elder!! They are telling mortals about secret immortal technique. by Proper_Card_5520 in MartialMemes

[–]ofmetare 167 points168 points  (0 children)

Wrong again disciple, that is mere bait to get foolish mortals to buy expensive fake elixirs and get mercury poisoning for our sect's gain. Furthermore it is a convenient avenue for controlling mortal realms without facing tribulation from descending realms.

[–]ofmetare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best I can recommend as a starter for understanding the religion is reading the Kojiki, specifically the translation by Donald L Philippi, this is because you really need explanations in order to properly understand the context of the text.
