MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (๐๐ผ @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)
1. LWJโs sword Bichen โis likely an abbreviation for the term ่บฒ้ฟ็บขๅฐ (duว bรฌ hรณng chรฉn), which can be translated as such: ่บฒ้ฟ: shunning or hiding away from ็บขๅฐ (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)
2. Sandu (ไธ ๆฏ), Jiang Chengโs sword, refers to the three poisons (triviแนฃa) in Buddhism; desire (kฤma-taแนhฤ), delusion (bhava-taแนhฤ) and hatred (vibhava-taแนhฤ).
These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.
Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.
3. The Qian kun purse โไนพๅค่ข (qiรกn kลซn dร i) โ can be called โHeaven and Earthโ Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (เคฎเฅเคคเฅเคฐเฅเคฏ) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.โ (TWX)
