Conclusion - This script writer is brilliant. Still can't believe she's a psychology graduate from a foreign university...like how th did she know all this ♡

[@lwagner1723]

She is well read. We need more script of this caliber

[@peanutbutterjelly582]

i think her formal education was still done in China, but she's probably really interested in Chinese literature, as she stated he's a big fan of Wuxia, and the writing style of JinYong Gulong tend to be more classical Chinese, so it forces you to become well-read.

[@BarbiesRevenge579]

honestly i'm totally obsessed with the script writer!

[@zhangzhehanphtvwelcomeback7778]

They say: as writer, write what you know.

[@zhangzhehanphtvwelcomeback7778]

@@lwagner1723 she is still young. Now somw other BL dramas upcoming are very hard to them winning the censorship to get air their shows.

[@bluemorningsoup]

To the novel readers, the lines "I just wish your heart is like my heart / and I will never betray this love between us" has an extra layer of significance. It is a famous confession scene in the novel: Wen Kexing traced the words onto Zhou Zishu's palm. This is, arguably, THE WenZhou poem. When the line appeared in SHL/WoH, I legit screamed.

[@BlaccLotus]

Hi. Sorry to disturb you. Although I already read the whole thing, I forgot abt this scene. So what chapter is the confession scene??? thanks

[@bluemorningsoup]

@@BlaccLotus Chapter 56!

[@BlaccLotus]

@@bluemorningsoup Thanks 😊😊😊

[@Lauren-cz3ve]

Amazing! Thanks for the heads up✨

[@dokidoki719]

What’s the name of the original poem? I want to read it in full.😭

[@blueposey6598]

Thank you so much for helping non-Chinese fans (like me) discover even more beauty and meaning in this drama. I am amazed by and grateful for all these cultural references. ♥️

[@romantickluli]

So you made sooo many videos about them, about SHL for clout and clout only but now suddenly drop ZZH about something he already apologize and not only that you are also hating on him and spreading negativity. You could've stay neutral but no, you showed your true colors. I don't blame you, you want to protect your channel but that does not mean I am so disappointed in you and I regret ever watching your content.

[@shawnyang435]

I like Ye Baiyi’s last line (the line is off screen, and the scene on screen is WKX’s losing his consciousness and his hands sliding off Ah Xu’s hands in the Weapon Armoury): no one stays young forever, but there are always people in youth (难寻少年时,总有少年来). It seems to be the scriptwriter’s own creation, not in the book, and not from an existing poem. Indeed, the two immortal gods are in their eternal youth in the mountain.

[@JesseLCH]

those 2 lines caught my attention too. he mentioned it twice in the drama actually. the first time was after wkx found out about the nails on ah xu (after they fought). and I think it's 难留少年时,总有少年来

[@olyablablabla]

Just reading your description made my eyes tear again. That scene is so incredibly sad that I couldn't feel the happy ending at first. Only after rewatching the whole drama I realized that everything went just how it supposed to be.

[@Lauren-cz3ve]

Thanks for the insight! Your short analysis helped me heal from the pain I’m still experiencing from episode 36🤧

[@katarinav7897]

I would never expect to enjoy talking about literature of any kind....but here I am, you always have my full attention. 💜

Much appreciated your effort to enlightened us further on WOH. We don't get tired of hearing more on WOH from you. Our support for your channel is unfailing frm fans of both ZZH n GJ. Thank you AX 😘🌹

[@suansuan5533]

Thank you for feeding us cultural food like always !!!! We appreciate your hard work so much :)

[@anuuuul]

Ah, I've been waiting for this! Thank you for all the WoH content you've posted thus far, I can't get enough of it!! Right after I finished watching the drama, I rushed over here to catch up with all the streams, edits and other videos you've done on it. I extremely, extremely appreciate the knowledge and experience you share with us. The extra details about history, culture, language, as well as all the fun facts about the industry and drama making are what makes the enjoyment triple in size for me. I would've never learned half of the WoH-related information, if you hadn't brought it over here from the Chinese internet. I also really love to watch you review stuff! So, again, thank you so much, and happy drama watching to you too! :o)

[@poussinette1562]

As a person learning mandarin, I am always so happy when you make this kind of video!!! It helps me learn things that we don't see in class while enjoying my favourite dramas at the same time haha. You are the best, thank you so much! :D

[@hannaariel3604]

Thank you so much for another educational lesson from WoH, the script writer definitely has a wide range of knowledge about classic Chinese poems and it just make this drama more special. We just not fangirling for wenzhou but we got tons of classic Chinese poetry n thank god we have you to guide n explain it to us non Chinese speakers eventho i guess the English translation will never be as good as the original meaning cause sometime it'll be always lose in translation and English cannot capture the beauty like in the original language.

[@Gigi_otter]

超级喜欢这系列的视频！我很小就出国了，通过看岭和你英文的诗词解说让我准备秋季报一门诗词课，想更了解中国文化并且能更流利的用英文解释诗词给别人

[@syllebl0ssom]

Thank you SO MUCH for these explanations. Not only is it edifying in general, as a Mandarin learner, it greatly enhances the experience of living on this mountain 🤭❤️

[@sandrasosa9338]

Hi, I´m from México, and I learning Chinese, i Love the way you explain all the culture and the hide things behind the scene, tk´s for the time you use to make this videos, greetings from querétaro méxico

[@alicek412]

I immigrated to U.S. at a very young age, been over 50+ years. I managed to retain my Chinese language skill and love to watch Chinese dramas (I read Chinese subs, my Mandarin is not that great) - I really appreciate your poetry explanation videos. I would have never understood those lines and what they really mean. The script writer is absolutely brilliant to include all of those poetry references and slight edits to fit the scenes. I can't find my way to get off the mountain, sigh...

[@wuxie42delacruz54]

No one's going down the mountain

[@persona8451]

I'm so happy we get another video talking about WOH thanks so much for your hard work ❤❤❤

[@Stimkie]

Spilling of Wolong Nuts is a bad omen. Remember that Cao Weining and Gu Xiang spilled these nuts as well. Partnered with these lines, that's a lot of bad omens!

[@borntosurvey4919]

I am from the future and i can tell you that much, that in the year 2030, she is still making new videos about Word of Honor.

[@mackusj]

I think my WOH journey would never be complete without the additional knowledge from reviewer like you. So thank you very very much. As part of my WOH journey I have also bought the book 天涯客 which just arrived today. Read it or not, the book should be part of my WOH journey, plus the fan, the hairpin and the dolls from Youku 😜. WOH is not a drama I could or should move on from Becos it’s so meaningful and it’s engraved in my heart. Plus the speech of ZZH to GJ in the concert, ZZH to me immediately 封神, 山河令 封神. 天涯客forever 山河令 forever 😢♥️

[@evepham2343]

Not only that I'm really interested in your videos about Shan He Ling but only loveee how you pronounced English and those Chinese quotes/words that very precious and easy to hear as I'm studying Chinese at the moment. Sending love from Vietnam 🥰.

[@simstarz111]

Thank you very much for this second poetry references. I really appreciate you for taking your time and sharing it with us. The scriptwriter is such a brilliant writer indeed. Loved how she incorporated all these beautiful poetry into this drama. That’s one of the things that make WOH so amazing. I seriously don’t remember coming across any anti-hero protagonist like Wen Kexing. He’s such a complex multi dimensional character. He can be cute, funny, scary, badass, etc. Not only he’s powerful, he is also a shameless flirt that is so well versed in poetry. For now, he’s my favorite character in C-drama. Idk if there will be any other character in the future that is better than him for me.

[@kadeejaaneesha3424]

I really can't get enough of your videos especially like this of woh . So do whatever you want I will watch❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Pisa_Pisa]

Talented actors, visionary directors aside, Priest the author & the script writer are brilliant. Their work had made so many cultural deserts, like me, wanting to Google/ search/ learn Chinese poetry.

I can listen to her talking about woh all day

[@tama_ochi]

very very interesting. i learned a lot. thank you😁 it is quite hard to understand or even to just remember all the poems in a short time, especially for a non-chinese like me😅 bet i forgot most of the references when i rewatch the series again. and no other series can have a character like lao wen, who advertises the nuts like he recites a poem🤣🤣🤣

Firstly, so love your costume,❤head dress complements..lovely..😊 2ndly, a very rich culture-sharing one, thank you.. I draw my conclusion why WOH passed beyond scrutiny. The vastness of meaningful lines of ancestral history shared in respectful terms. The scriptwriter must have painstakingly burnt his brows on this series. Awesome!.♦️ A never too late applause of your informative vids. Thank you. I shall again be watching the _th time & validate some missing links of WOH.

ShanHeLing so rich rich rich materials chinese literatures and beautiful story behind one and another intertwined, one refer to other to describes particular condition. Convey something only with particular words/poetry chns ppl would understand the whole situasion. This is the best of mandsein chrc as language/writing. I think, realize how much materials from SHL, drama itself, detail of drama, refering drama materials, until rps stories, cps, I think I need 1000 yrs to finishing life on the mountain.
