Reference for Modao Zushi Writers: Chinese terms (смешанная)

Примечания автора:
Please feel free to add comments - translation is an art, not a science, and Chinese culture is not monolithic, so there is plenty of room for interpretation. I mostly try to stick to terms used in canon, but may include ones not used directly but might be helpful for fanfic - e.g., shijie (sect sister, older) is used in canon, and I include shimei (sect sister, younger).
A note on pronunciation: I use the Chinese pinyin system for transliteration, but for people unfamiliar with that system, I wanted to note that the letter “x” is pronounced like “sh,” and the letter “q” is pronounced like a hard “ch”. I didn’t include the tones, since they are not typically used in fanfic.
