Oh yes, Liyue, the chinesse culture is so beautyful
Its understandable that you want to know more about it.
Liyue (Chinese: 璃月 Líyuè) is one of the seven regions in Teyvat. It is the city-state that worships Rex Lapis, the Geo Archon.
- Liyue is the most prosperous of the seven regions.
- There is an area called Yilong Port in Liyue.[5] Its location is currently unknown.
- In the trailer Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail, under the title of the quest Farewell, Archaic Lord, there is a line written in Teyvat's Latin script. 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.
- 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.

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").

Yuè (music) symbolizes the cultural harmony of a society.[6]
- 璃月 Líyuè is also a near homophone of "establishing a contract" (Chinese: 立约; Romansh: lìyuē).
- 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. Thus the in-game etymology of "Liyue" leads to deeper
