Significant Chinese Symbols in Caleb's 3.0 Myth! #lads #夏以昼 #xiayizhou

Some of the significant Chinese cultural symbols in Caleb’s 3.0 and their meaning!
夏以晝「萬鬼行絕」系列活動有一些重要中国文化！我要讨论一些 文化符号 !

Lotuses- Lotuses are beautiful and sit delicately on top of clear water, so you wouldn’t expect that the plant itself grows in mud! They purify the water around them, and take in a lot of the muddy nutrients so that the water looks clearer.
莲花—莲花美丽的花，轻盈地浮在清澈的水面上，因此你可能想不到，这种植物其实生长在泥土中！它们能净化周围的水，并吸收大量泥土中的养分，使水看起来更加清澈。
Lotuses recede into the water at night, but they open their petals when the sun is shining.
They represent purity, Reincarnation, rebirth, and strength/resilience. This is echoed in Caleb’s story, because he is the representation of Yang, which is the symbol of the sun and a masculine. In Chinese myth there is a concept of Yin and Yang (I will go more into this later). Before yin and yang were separated by the emperor of heaven, they were one.
莲花在夜间沉入水中，但阳光普照时便绽放花瓣。
它们象征着纯洁、轮回、重生以及力量与韧性。这在迦勒的故事中得到了呼应，因为他代表着“阳”，即太阳的象征，也是阳刚之气的化身。在中国神话中，有一个阴阳的概念（我稍后会详细说明）。在天帝将阴阳分开之前，它们本是一体。
In that same myth, the emperor created lotuses to represent different aspects of creation. In the PV many lotuses from creation can be seen, but the black lotus of destruction is omitted!
在PV里，皇帝创造了莲花，以象征造物的不同方面。在宣传视频中，可以看到许多象征造物的莲花，但象征毁灭的黑莲花却被省略了！

Suona（suǒnà）- This instrument is used in folk performances, but most notably in weddings and funerals. The fact that this instrument is playing during this PV foreshadows a double meaning, we are both viewing a wedding scene, as well as a mortal separation reminiscent of the grief we feel at funerals. Suona are very loud in volume, acting as a town yeller of sorts that indicates that something life changing has gone down.
唢呐（suǒnà）——这种乐器常用于民间表演，但最常见于婚礼和葬礼。这支唢呐在这支PV中的出现暗含双重寓意：我们既在观看婚礼场景，又目睹了令人联想到葬礼悲痛的永别。唢呐音量极大，犹如一种“镇上喊话人”，昭示着某种改变人生的重大事件已经发生。

Tea Ceremony/Cross Cup Wine Marriage Ceremony (héjǐn jiǔ）- a Han Chinese tradition for the Zhou dynasty. The bride and groom each hold half of a bitter melon tied with a string and drink together, symbolizing sharing the bitter and sweet parts of life together. Typically there would also be a kowtow (kētóu) during a tea ceremony, but I personally believe by omitting this part of the ceremony they are leaning into the fantasy aspect not including any aspect where the woman feels like she needs to submit to any elders or male figures over her.
周朝时期的汉族传统。新郎新娘各自手持一根绳子系住的苦瓜的一半，一同饮用，象征着共同分享人生的酸甜苦辣。通常在茶仪式中还会进行跪拜（kētóu），但我个人认为，省略这一环节是为了突出梦幻感，避免任何可能让女性感到需要向长辈或男性权威屈从的环节。
