    • Prince of Lan Ling - Help!

    Hi everyone, I don't read Chinese at all, and Google isn't helping me very much. I would love it if someone could assist with the character names for the upcoming performance The Prince of Lan Ling. Here's all I have so far:

    Storyteller | Kyou Misa
    Hulu Guang | Yuuma Rin
    Prince of Guangning's Wife | Hanano Juria
    Town Elder / Emperor | Wataru Hibiki
    芍妃 / 鄭氏 (Zheng?) | Mihana Rino
    Duan Shao | Maizuki Nagisa
    Bandit / 趙雷 | Sumizuki Naoto
    蘭妃 (Princess Lan?) | Wakakusa Moeka
    逍遥君 | Hozumi Mahiro
    General of Northern Qi / 李水 | Kazu Reisa
    孫雨 | Tsubasa Anju
    銭風 | Naoto Akira
    丹妃 | Ouzuki Noa
    桃妃 | Shiki Sumire
    呉雪 | Hayami Shiosa
    周雲 | Hakuto Seira
    桂妃 | Misato Reina

    Any insight is very much appreciated!

    Your are welcome!

    In the past, there were many ranks for imperial consorts (the Emperor's wife/concubines), and the terms get very confusing and difficult to translate. I agree with you that for our purpose, "Lady" should be a good term to use. Luckily, it seems that there isn't the confusion of different ranked consorts in this story.

    Another potential point of confusion is that the word 妃, I think, can also be used in a name (though this is probably not so common). I hope that all the 妃s in this story are referring to the consorts!

    This is great!! Thank you so much, I never could have done this on my own. I really appreciate your help!!

    I get what you mean about 妃, as similar words in Japanese can be difficult to translate. Do you think "Lady" would suffice, since "Consort" isn't really a way you address someone in English?

    Not sure if this is what you wanted, but I have tried to put in the pronunciation (in Hanyu Pinyin) of the Chinese names below.

    One thing to note is that the word 妃 means consort, but I am not familiar with the story at all, so I'm not sure if it's more appropriate to translate all the names with 妃 as Consort XX instead. E.g. 芍妃 as Consort Shao instead of merely Shao Fei, 蘭妃 as Consort Lan etc.
