Zhong Li

Memories of Departed Friends: Although he possesses eternal life, he bears a heavy burden—"erosion" (the destruction of stone over time). Zhong Li remembers every fallen friend, Archon and Adept, and his famous phrase about "the taste of osmanthus wine" is a longing for those with whom he can no longer share a meal.

Favorite Food: His favorite is thick bamboo shoot soup, slowly simmered over a fire. Zhong Li is an incredible perfectionist when it comes to food, so the meat for the broth must be perfectly diced, and the bamboo shoots must be picked only fresh. Favorite Item: His main attribute is the Contract—as a conceptual object and an inviolable law. When it comes to material things, he treasures the stone cube "Stone Memory Castle," which was once given to his close ally, Gui Zhong, as a gift.

Record Age in Teyvat: His earthly incarnation appears to be a man in his thirties, but his actual biological and historical age is over 6,000 years, making him the oldest of all living Archons. Unique Birthday: He celebrates his birthday on December 31st, the very last day of the year, symbolically emphasizing his status as the god of time, age-old traditions, the passing era of Liyue, and the inviolability of past history. Physiology of a High Adept: Despite his human flesh, his body is inhuman in nature: his eyes glow pure gold in the dark, and the tips of his hair shine with a bright amber light when he concentrates the energy of the earth or summons monuments. Magical Shapeshifting: While possessing the body of an Adept, he is able to assume any biological form, including a majestic half-dragon, half-ten (in which he appeared to the people) or even the image of a woman, as mentioned in historical chronicles. And he also often forgets money (mora), although he himself was its Creator.

True Identity: Behind the refined appearance of an ordinary man lies the Lord of the Stone Morax—an ancient Geo Archon and the founder of Liyue, who ruled the region for several millennia before deciding to retire and live out his life as a mere mortal. Current Employment: He is the chief consultant at the Wansheng Funeral Home, where he helps organize the most complex funeral ceremonies thanks to his vast knowledge of tradition, history, and ancient etiquette. Personality Traits: He is an incredibly calm, polite, and erudite man with boundless patience; he values ​​honesty and fulfilling contracts above all else, but comically forgets his wallet, as he has not yet become accustomed to the value of money for ordinary people. Interests: In his free time, he lives the life of a nobleman—he enjoys strolling through the marketplace, listening to storytellers, drinking expensive tea, and studying ancient artifacts, rare stones, and the flora and fauna of Liyue.
