As a purely academic question, does anybody know what Huixiang actually means? I'm just curious what name it is they chose to represent themselves, cause I'm pretty sure its not "MPK kings" or "We sell gil" or something like that... so basically I'm mostly just curious.

If anyone can translate it I'd appreciate it. :)

Sup Anax...

Based on a few web searches, etc. It appears that "Hui" refers to a spoken dialect of chinese.

Meanwhile, Xiang refers to a ruler of the Xia Dynasty. However, it also seems to refer to a region as well.

Now you got me curious... I wonder what the philosophy of the Xia Dynasty rulers was all about^^

Edit: Here's a little blurb that I found regarding the Xia Dynasty. I think its an interesting little description of the Xia dynasty: "The ruling class inevitably lacked the necessary experience to govern the country. During their four-hundred-year reign, internal conflicts and power struggles continually caused trouble for the dynastic rulers."...

Perhaps they percieve their LS to be in a power struggle against others and view SE to be the inept rulers of Vana D^^

Hmmm.. since SE can't control them... they may actually be somewhat accurate... lol.

Don't know how this would relate, but I found this if it helps: Apperently, Huixiang/Hui-Xiang/Hui Xiang appears to be a type of spice called "Fennel" in english. Here is a link to Wikipedia. Other sites I've seen about this herb say it's really good for you.
