So, I heard you’ve been wondering what are the 3000 rules of Gusu Lan Sect?
See that wall? It’s the Lan Sect’s Wall of Discipline that appeared for 2 seconds in MDZS Episode 2. Some very diligent soul on Weibo actually went to read the texts carved on that Wall. Probably with a magnifying glass. No joke. Like, seriously, no joke.
Here goes all the rules that she managed to read out - translated hopefully not horrendously by Tumblr user my-otp-list.
“Do not kill within Cloud Recesses
Do not fight without permission
Do not commit acts of promiscuity
Do not laugh for no reason
Do not sit with a disgraceful pose
Do not eat more than 3 bowls (Translator’s note: LOL)
Do not take your own words lightly
Do not give up on learning
Make sure to act virtuously
Do not forget the grace of the forefathers
Be careful with your words
Train your body and your mind
Love and respect yourself
Maintain your own discipline
If others win over you, do not envy
If other lose to you, do not look down
Destroy the five poisons*
Uphold the value of justice
Shoulder the weight of morality
Embrace the entirety of the world
Have courage and knowledge
Have courtesy and integrity
Have affection and gratefulness
Be fair, and they will follow you
Be trustworthy, and they will believe you
Be mighty, and they will die for you
Have a strong will and anything can be achieved
Win friendships with kindness
See friends as neighbours
Appreciate the good people
Do not be picky about food
Do not use bad words to hurt others
Do not spread empty lines
Do not speak ill of others
Do not live extravagantly
Do not build wealth by using others, for this wealth won’t last
Do not argue with your family, for it doesn’t matter who wins
Speak meagerly, for too many words only bring harm”
So, does anyone here think they qualify to be a Gusu Lan Sect disciple? (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
Bonus - An actual rule that was added by Lan Qiren after WWX and LWJ got together:
“Do not get near Wei Ying”
All ‘squinting and staring’ credit goes to Weibo user 啧昵称什么好烦_yooooo.
*The Five Poisons in ancient Chinese belief: Referring to the five poisonous animals that commonly appear in early summer, namely snake - scorpion - centipede - toad - spider.
