Meanwhile, the modern history of Pandaria - a formerly isolated land now under threat of both foreign invaders and internal conflicts - brings the Qing into mind. The pandaren revolution against the mogu is also reminiscent of Taoist peasant revolts such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Mists of Pandaria dropped most Japanese influences in favour of a culture mostly rooted in Chinese Taoism: living "in the moment", appreciating simplicity, and maintaining inner balance. Fantasy Counterpart Culture: The pandaren started off as a fairly generic East Asian Culture Chop Suey, based mostly on Warring States Japan.Some mainlanders go so far as to call such pandaren "wild dogs". Fantastic Slur: Most mainland Pandaren have a poor opinion of pandaren born to Shen-zin Su or develop a wanderlust they call "chasing the turtle".And what do they do? Work some crops and learn how to brew beers and liquor. Call to Agriculture: The pandaren, hozen, and jinyu managed to overthrow their despotic and cruel masters and are left with the structure to build an empire and conquer the world if they so wished.Bilingual Bonus: ren means "human" or "people" in Mandarin Chinese.Big Fun: Big, usually jolly, and usually drunk.Big Eater: A lot of the pandaren /silly and /flirt quotes, as well as in-game dialogue, reference food.In fact, one of their racial abilities is a stunning hand-jab. Bare-Fisted Monk: Untrained civilian Pandaren default as monks and can defend themselves with simple farmtools, staves and their fists.Arcadia: Pandaria is largely fertile farmland and fetid forests.Almighty Janitor: Even the ones working simple jobs are usually quite good at combat.The Alcoholic: The pandaren rival the dwarves in this respect.During the rebellion, the mogu were often left dazed and disoriented by the pandaren's speed. In contrast, the mogu favored huge, impractical weapons designed to inspire terror, on top of already being slow (yet very strong). When the monks began to secretly train others in the art of combat in order to overthrow their masters, they focused on using farm tools and unarmed strikes. When they were enslaved by the mogu, the pandaren were not allowed to own weapons. Male Pandaren joke: Gotta store up some fat for the winter! I don't hibernate or nothin', I just like havin' it around.
