In Xiao's Story "Ode to Windborne Wraith", the book "Tour of the Land of Liyue" ( Chinese: 琉璃岩间国土纪行 lit.Thus the in-game etymology of "Liyue" leads to deeper lore. In-game lore defines the country Liyue ( Chinese: 璃月 Líyuè) to be established in Guili Plain before the Archon Wars while the Morax's mortal name "Zhongli" was chosen after the Seven.璃月 Líyuè is also a near homophone of "establishing a contract" ( Chinese: 立约 Romansh: lìyuē).Yuè (music) symbolizes the cultural harmony of a society. Lǐ (rite/courtesy) is a visible practice to maintain the order of both a human society and the universe, since the orders of human, terrestrial, and celestial realms are considered to be connected in the Chinese philosophy. 璃月 Líyuè is a near homophone of 礼乐 lǐyuè, "rites and music", a word that represents the Confucian aspect of the traditional Chinese philosophy and culture.The yue ( 月) in Liyue can also mean "month," therefore, Liyue's name could possibly have a secondary meaning: "The Month of the King's Departure," which bears striking similarity to a possible interpretation of Zhongli's name ("time of departure"). Liyue's Li ( 璃) can be decomposed into 王 wáng, "king" and 离 lí, "departure", which is the same li found in Zhongli's name in Simplified Chinese.In addition, miHoYo has also offered "Jade Moon" as a viable translation, using the radical of 玉 (jade) in Liyue's Li 璃. Liyue ( 璃月 Líyuè) literally means "Glazed Moon" in Chinese.As of Chapter I, Liyue is the only region to ostensibly not have a ruling archon at all, after Morax faked his death in the quest Rite of Descension. It reads " Ruat caelum fiat pactum," which roughly means "Let the contract be made, though the heavens fall," and is modified from the phrase fiat justitia ruat caelum.
