Hu Tao is one of the few Liyue characters that embodies a lot more of traditional Chinese aesthetics (except the shorts but hey thighs save lives) so I appreciate her a lot for that and super kudos on analyzing her name correctly. It bothered me a bit because English only players weren't privy to the meaningful name but I didn't think it was worth correcting people on. Liyue is still pronounced incorrectly even by the VAs so I guess it's better to let it be the unofficial pronunciation in English. Anyway, thanks a million for putting out a video so at least the info is out there!

I once read that, on her closing chain finisher, the small pose she does (where she puts her hands together) is a gesture with connotations to "passing away" in Taoism. It's something I read on twitter, and Twitter is Twitter, so take it with a large lump of salt because I can't confirm it.

@maxplaysgamez-sharesgaming1756 3 жыл бұрын

"往生"(Wang sheng) actually means more than just death, it means "the transformation of mortal realm into another", thereby relieving one's soul from mortal limitations and suffering and entering a happier, better realm beyond life. In which, it's actually a positive perspective to look at one's "passing away". Given the context where Hu Tao Only does that hand gesture after she Finishes her attacks(the game assumes you've completed the battle and executed every single enemy) from the way I understand it... That shows Hu Tao actually Values the lives of her enemies and does the hand gesture("合掌/合十", He Zhang/He Shi) shows it as a form of respect and prays their souls may relieve from mortal suffering and entering a happier, better realm beyond life.

There's actually another Easter egg for the 十只兔子 song (10 Rabbits), I saw it on another comment here: ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbOFfJuW1NbZep8.html ) Also, in the Chinese version of Hu Tao's PV, instead of saying "because they want to be seelies when they grow up" she actually says "Why are butterflies our guide? It's because their surname is also Hu!", a word play on the Chinese word, Hudie (蝴蝶) which has the same pronunciation as Hu in Hu Tao

actually in chinese taoism, peach wood 桃木 is a superb material for making tools to fight against evil spirits, like peach wood sword 桃木劍which is a very famous weapon in the category. HuTao’s symbol is peach blossom, so it resembles her born ability to ward off evil. Peach also symbolises immortality and long life, good example would be the tradition of eating peach shaped buns called 長壽包 on birthdays or important events. Also, I think Hu Tao’s tao is a smart word play cuz it can mean peach 桃 in chinese and resembles taoism in english.

@maxplaysgamez-sharesgaming1756 3 жыл бұрын

From another perspective, the hand gesture "合掌/合十" she make can also be represented as a form of greeting and respect in Chinese Buddhism, which also provides an image of humility. However, this hand gesture, "合掌"(He Zhang) Did Not originate from Buddhism, but rather Hinduism, which later widely used in regular Buddhist mannerism. In Hinduism, the right hand is considered as a "sacred" hand, while the left hand is considered as a "dirty/non-sacred" hand. Hence, they have different uses for each hand with a hidden meaning. However, once both hands was Combined together, it combines the Duality(both sacred and non-sacred aspect) of humanity itself, where it becomes a representation of the most fundamental and most truthful form of humanity, to show that they have nothing to hide.

Her family symbol is a burning flower. It represents her wildfire nature of the cycle of life from death. Another thing to consider is HuTao is super old. She became funeral director as a teenager, but states that the years have flown by since. Her youthful appearance is most likely a result of the same magic she uses in battle to absorb her enemy's spirits to heal herself. She's a really grim character.

@@saibaepsilon still a stretch to say that she can extend her life using powers given by mere visions, her lore suggests the only power that was passed down through her lineage was the ability to cross “the border” and nothing resembling life stealing powers. Let’s also consider the fact she hates Baizhu for trying to obtain immortality - ie. trying to extend his life, all of that concludes that Hutao either don’t have such powers or even if she had, she wouldn’t use it to lengthen her life.

@Aliyaaaa 3 жыл бұрын

That absolutely makes no sense. Hu Tao became the Leaders of the parlor in very early age and some years have passed, which doesn't imply her being "super old". And you clearly don't understand Hu Taos character at all. Eternal life is the farthest away from Hu Tao's interest. She lives everyday confronting deaths and she herself said that the living and dead should be separated. She values life just as much as death and she seeks satisfaction from ghosts being able to leave the living world with no regrets. So why by all means would she be interested in a long or eternal life?? She even dislikes Baizhu for seeking that wish and she wanted to bury Qiqi because she is initially dead.

Hu Tao's twin tails, loose sleeves, and split tail coats also make her silhouette look like butterfly wings when she's in motion. (sprinting, jumping, gliding, etc.) The two straps behind her hat serves as the butterfly's antennae. Taking motion into account when designing a character is always a huge plus. Her design is currently the most creative imo.

@pangzhiyu8098 3 жыл бұрын

On the butterfly lore, Hu Tao actually made a joke about her own name in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean videos because the similar pronunciations of "butterfly" and "Hu Tao" in these three languages. The joke cannot be replicated in English so they changed it into a seelie joke instead. There's no seelie references in C/J/K versions of the video at all.

I find this super interesting, I love the process and effort on designing characters and I adore when people take time to analyze it (and even better, explain it to others hehe) It would be wonderful if you could make this about more characters, but still, I like all your content ^^

0:59 When i heard that Hú means Recklessly, Foolishly, or Wildly, i immediately remembered that Staff of Homa's Passive is called "Reckless Cinnabar" , so i guess the staff really is meant for Hu Tao

Mihoyo puts so much details into the character design and story, like I'm amazed how they managed to come up with all this. Well done mihoyo

往生堂, wangsheng parlor, actually has very deep religious meaning. 往生wangsheng refers to those who dies, they will go another realm of joy and happiness, aka Buddhist heaven. But this is the highest achievement of any Buddhist.

As for the Harmony Hexagram Hat, I would like to make a small contribution: The I Ching hexagram mentioned here is not the 13rd one, but rather the 11th one. I can see how the English translation can misdirect people really bad, since the two's meanings have quite subtle difference. The 13rd one means "harmony between people", or perhaps "great fellowship", while the 11th one means "harmony between heaven and earth", or perhaps "everything goes smoothly". The Chinese version clearly stated the hat's name as 乾坤泰卦帽, lit. "The Hat with the Hexagram of Heaven and Earth". This possibly goes with Hu Tao's claim that this hat will bring good fortune to her and her parlor, as the hexagram itself would predict. The number 13 should mean nothing here, since for Chinese the unlucky number is actually 4 (which in Chinese sounds like "death"), 13 is only unlucky for Catholics.

I love these specifically because they can also help other character design artists figure out ways to design their own characters, most of the time i add on details without much rhyme or reason and finding such intricate connections like the ones in this video to make a perfectly referenced character is much more difficult than many are led to believe. I aspire to get to this level of storytelling with my designs, it really gets me excited to learn more about a character when so much is told from their looks alone.

This video is another reminder I need to grind my Hu Tao. I was missing a bunch of the ascension mats but I finally got a good set of artifacts for her.
