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 (šš¼ @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)
1. LWJās sword Bichen āis likely an abbreviation for the term čŗ²éæēŗ¢å° (duĒ bƬ hĆ³ng chĆ©n), which can be translated as such: čŗ²éæ: shunning or hiding away from ēŗ¢å° (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)
2. Sandu (äø ęÆ), Jiang Chengās sword, refers to the three poisons (triviį¹£a) in Buddhism; desire (kÄma-taį¹hÄ), delusion (bhava-taį¹hÄ) and hatred (vibhava-taį¹hÄ).
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 āä¹¾å¤č¢ (qiĆ”n kÅ«n dĆ i) ā can be called āHeaven and Earthā Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (ą¤®ą„ą¤¤ą„ą¤°ą„ą¤Æ) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.ā (TWX)

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilmsāboth externally and within the host.
https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d
Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
