What does Chen Qingling mean by broken sleeves?

In The Untamed, the word "brokeback" appeared in the plots of Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan. Specifically, sleeve-breaking refers to the way that ancient men cut off their sleeves as a permanent alliance. This way shows the close friendship between the two men, supporting each other and never giving up.

Through the relationship between Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan, The Untamed showed his understanding of brothers, love and friendship, and Broken Sleeve became a symbol of this emotion. Broken sleeves represent the commitment in love and express the firm belief that no matter what happens between two people, they will support and help each other. In the traditional culture of China, broken sleeves have always been a permanent symbol of friendship between men.

In today's society, the feelings of sincere mutual trust and mutual support between people are gradually fading. The emotion between Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan in The Untamed, and the symbolic meaning of broken sleeves derived from it, remind us to cherish the true friendship and the spirit of mutual support and help. In this changing world, this firm and loyal emotion has brought us great power.
