One quick clarification: You notice that Shenhe goes back and no one praises her, and the reason for this is because she goes back many years later. The village is long abandoned, only cobwebs remaining, as seen in the animation. To further explain why she felt shunned and why she only went back as an adult, please see my longer explanation below. This is very much a 仙俠-inspired story. For context, the story shown in the opera, while influenced by 李寄斩蛇, is actually a romanticised take on the history of the character Shenhe in the game. Shenhe's father threw her into the cave, expecting and hoping that she would die after being promised by the demon within that Shenhe's death would let Shenhe's mother (who passed away a while back) come back to life. He later regretted it and later hanged himself (which explains why no one was at Shenhe's home anymore). Shenhe did have a blade or dagger and fought the demon for days before an adeptus (Genshin Impact's take on 仙人) saved her. The adeptus then took her to the mountains and raised her in isolation from human culture and society. Shenhe then cultivated in the mountains for years, living off medicinal herbs and mountain dew and learning the ways of the adepti/仙人 as their disciple. This process eventually led to her hair turning white. She made a trip back to her hometown many years later as an adult, but after her father hanged himself, people started to move away from the village, thinking it haunted and cursed. As for Shenhe, raised in the mountains by demigods and lacking the social skills and mannerisms of normal people combined with long white hair, people that met her mistook her for an adeptus and thought they were meeting deities. Shenhe eventually went back to the mountains, finding nothing for her in the human world. Yunjin's father heard bits and scraps of the tale and came up with the Divine Damsel of Devastation, which as an fictional piece of dramatic work, naturally took some creative liberties with the truth.

I think you miss out the red rope part. The adepti said shenhe could have taken down the monster by herself eventually. This is because of her bloodlust and homicidal instinct. So the red rope is to keep the instinct at bay. And also her fate is to bear the curse of calamity. I think this is also another reason why she keep herself apart from the humanity.

Thank you for your efforts to explain the story behind this game
A great translation of the The Divine Damsel of Devastation" Opera Lyrics (line-for-line): 可--叹-- (kě -- tàn --) Alas! 秋鸿折单复难双 (qiū hóng zhé dān fù nán shuāng) Two loving souls by death cruelly parted 痴人痴怨恨迷狂 (chī rén chī yuàn hèn mí kuáng) In madness and grief, a dark path started 只因那邪牲祭伏定祸殃 (zhǐ yīn nà xié shēng jì fú dìng huò yāng) Calamity was drawn, rituals subverted 若非巾帼拔剑人皆命丧 (ruò fēi jīn guó bá jiàn rén jiē mìng sàng) But by her cold steel was death averted 凡缘朦朦仙缘滔 (fán yuán méng méng xiān yuán tāo) Mortal ties broken, with the adepti she went 天伦散去绛府邀 (tiān lún sàn qù jiàng fǔ yāo) Their abiding place filling paternal bonds rent 朱丝缚绝烂柯樵 (zhū sī fù jué làn kē qiáo) To her red strings of binding they sent 雪泥鸿迹遥 (xuě ní hóng jī yáo) And they dwelt long together content 鹤归不见昔华表 (hè guī bú jiàn xī huá biǎo) The crane returned to a home without luster 蛛丝枉结魂幡飘 (zhū sī wǎng jié hún fān piāo) The cobwebs overgrown, the grave-shrouds a-fluster 因果红尘渺渺 (yīn guǒ hóng chén miǎo miǎo) But one bond upon her 烟消 (yān xiāo) This world could not muster 《神女劈观》到这里本该接近尾声 (shén nǚ pī guān dào zhè lǐ běn gāi jiē jìn wěi shēng) Thus does the Divine Damsel's tale duly end 但今日我再添一笔-- (dàn jīn rì wǒ zài tiān yī bǐ --) But today a new tale I have to append 唱与--诸位--听-- (chàng yǔ -- zhū wèi -- tīng --) Which I shall now tell - if you shall attend 曲高未必人不识 (qū gāo wèi bì rén bù shí) From the world she seems apart 自有知音和清词 (zì yǒu zhī yīn hé qīng cí) But there are those who know her heart 红缨猎猎剑流星 (hóng yīng liè liè jiàn liú xīng) With crimson spear and flashing brand 直指怒潮洗海清 (zhí zhǐ nù cháo xǐ hǎi qīng) To still the raging tides they stand 彼时鹤归 (bǐ shí hè guī) The crane once returned 茫茫天地无依靠 (máng máng tiān dì wú yī kào) And once, she was spurned 孤身离去 (gū shēn lí qù) She turned, and left alone 今日再会 (jīn rì zài huì) Now, she might be found 新朋旧友坐满堂 (xīn péng jiù yǒu zuò mǎn táng) With friends all around 共聚此时 (gòng jù cǐ shí) To whom she is bound - a home

@delin Yep this is the official one. Should also note that "adeptus" (plural "adepti") is the game's English translation of 仙 (xiān). Adepti are basically supernatural creatures who live for thousands of years, and include characters like Xiao (peng bird), Ganyu (half-qilin) and Yanfei (half-xiezhi). Shenhe herself was raised since childhood as a disciple of the crane adeptus Cloud Retainer, and was isolated from humankind until the moment you meet her in the story

我发现由于自动转录软件,我在字幕中犯了一些错误。请接受我的道歉,因为它两次将游戏名称列为“Genshit Impact”而不是“Genshin Impact”。这是一个随机错误! Hey everyone - EMBARRASING ERROR ALERT!!! I found that I made some mistakes in the subtitles due to the automatic transcription software. Please accept my apology for listing the game's title twice as "Genshit Impact" instead of "Genshin Impact". This is a random bug!

I started playing Genjin Impact a week ago, and I am hooked, because I am in Japan for study right now but the first time I saw the ad of this game on the subway in 2019, I was attracted as well due to its art style, BGM and cultural elements, and some places in this game the view just stunning, in this game a lot of things like you said are based on real things and it also have a lot of metaphors. The better you know about their cultural background the more enjoyable this game will be, honestly. Even though this game only have 3 major areas currently, like Mond, stand for Mid Europe, Liyue for China, Inazuma for Japan, and they said the winter country is Russia,Maple for France. Now I finished the story line in Liyue and working on Inazuma now, this game just so gorgerous that I am pround of being a Chinese and willing to learn more about our own history. And lastly, when you reach the Liyue, don't miss any corner in this area.

@@anonymintheworld9781 The game is free to download and the story is mostly family-friendly, BUT to obtain characters you "gamble" for them and can end up costing a lot of money; if you are unlucky it can take around $200 USD to get one limited character. So yes I'd say it's okay for preteens as long as the kid won't get too upset if they miss out on a character they like.
@Ilwenray852 жыл бұрын
@@anonymintheworld9781 To add what the others have said about gambling... The games from miHoYo don't stay childish for long. All of them started happy and light-hearted for around two years, and then is an existential drama and depressing stuff that I don't recommend to any children. In Genshin Impact, we are starting to turn to that depressing style since the release of Inazuma. So my answer is... no, it is not a game for children, no matter what the art style might suggest. Maybe we have half a year or a year before it starts to deviate from the light-hearted childish content there is now. Perhaps the others just don't know what to expect from miHoYo, but I in advance say: don't let a child play this game.
Good review and information on base story that I never know before. This video avoided spoil some story due creator doesn't play story quest yet. Actually it's great because I suggest for who that can play this quest should try as well. Story is great and some surprise hidden in there. Very deep feeling in there. Sweet end for sure. BTW I don't recommend to read any comments in here. Some guy think every body should know story of quest in game and keep spoil story on everywhere. Opinion of channel creator based on trailer that he saw. It's not that hard to guess. No need additional clarification. It's good video already from who that doesn't play this game yet and it even filled up with information that player who finished quest like me never know before. 👏
I don't know why my previous comment gone but Azhdaha was based on folklore as well and I heard the boss music use ancient Chinese language that even chinese people can't understand. You can check analysis on Azhdaha boss music on Alex Moukala channel and check Azhdaha story teaser on official channel. I'd love to see your another video talking about it too!

Yunjin is a male, and the story of Shenhe is actually that his father thought she was a kid that brings bad luck, and when there was a monster (the snake looking creature), his father forced Shenhe to fight that monster. Although Shenhe fought and killed the monster for many days in the cave, Shenhe was almost died. Luckily, something saved her . sorry for the bad grammars
