This is the most likely in-game etymology of 'Liyue.' Lion's Roar is inspired by a famous poem ( Chinese: 古剑篇 'Tale of the Ancient Sword'), which describes the casting of an ancient sword which 'like a white lotus spit out from a glazed jade box, the golden ring on the hilt of the sword is dyed with the brilliance of the sun and the moon' ( Chinese: 琉璃玉匣吐莲花，错镂金环映明月). Deeper lore connects to the sword Lion's Roar ( Chinese: 匣里龙吟 'Dragon's Roar in the Box').'Glaze in the Box, Moon among the Clouds' as 'As man hides Li in a box, so nature hides Yue between the clouds,' and explains that 'Li' is a 'precious ceramic ornament' and 'Yue' refers to the moon. Qingzhou translates the phrase 匣中琉璃云间月 lit.

琉璃 'glaze' and 月 'moon' are the two main elements in the etymology of Liyue. 'Glaze in the Box, Moon among the Clouds') in Liyue. 'Tour of the Land among the Rock of Glaze') written by Sumeru Akademiya was renamed as 'Hidden Diamond and Cloudy Moon: Wonders and Folklores of Liyue' ( Chinese: 匣中琉璃云间月 lit. In Xiao's Story 'Ode to Windborne Wraith', the book 'Tour of the Land of Liyue' ( Chinese: 琉璃岩间国土纪行 lit.Thus the in-game etymology of 'Liyue' leads to deeper lore. 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.璃月 Líyuè is also a near homophone of 'establishing a contract' ( Chinese: 立约 Romansh: lìyuē).Yuè (music) symbolizes the cultural harmony of a society.

Lǐ (rite/courtesy) is a visible practice to maintain the order of both a human society and the universe, since the orders of human, terrestrial, and celestial realms are considered to be connected in the Chinese philosophy.

璃月 Líyuè is a near homophone of 礼乐 lǐyuè, 'rites and music', a word that represents the Confucian aspect of the traditional Chinese philosophy and culture.

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').

Liyue's Li ( 璃) can be decomposed into 王 wáng, 'king' and 离 lí, 'departure', which is the same li found in Zhongli's name in Simplified Chinese.

In addition, miHoYo has also offered 'Jade Moon' as a viable translation, using the radical of 玉 (jade) in Liyue's Li 璃.

Liyue ( 璃月 Líyuè) literally means 'Glazed Moon' in Chinese.

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.

There is an area called Yilong Port in Liyue.

Liyue is the most prosperous of the seven regions.

It reads ' Ruat caelum fiat pactum,' which roughly means 'Though the heavens fall, let the contract be made,' and is modified from the phrase fiat justitia ruat caelum.
