English Terms Glossary Guide

Use the glossary as a bridge

The Scroll of Taiwu has years of Chinese-language knowledge, but English players search with official English terms, fan translations, pinyin, literal translations, and screenshots. A useful glossary bridges those vocabularies so every source points to the same concept.

This site keeps the Chinese term visible beside each English explanation. That makes it easy to confirm a term against the in-game text and to follow Chinese strategy guides without losing track of which system is being discussed.

• Chinese terms identify the exact concept being discussed.
• English explanations make that concept readable for new players.
• Seeing both together lets you match the site to the in-game UI.
• It bridges old Chinese guides, fan translations, and official wording.

Terms that matter first

Not every term has the same launch priority. The first corrections should focus on terms that appear across many pages and affect beginner decisions: attributes, factions, martial art categories, combat resources, injuries, village systems, and major campaign concepts.

Correcting those terms first makes guide updates faster because the same concepts repeat through beginner pages, build pages, and tools.

• Attributes: 根骨, 悟性, 定力, 福缘, 膂力, 灵敏.
• Martial arts: 武功, 内功, 外功, 轻功, 绝技, 摧破.
• Combat: 真气, 架势, 提气, 破体, 破气, 护体, 御气.
• Campaign systems: 太吾村, 传承, 相枢, 剑冢, 奇遇.

How to confirm a term against the game

If you are unsure whether a term matches what you see in-game, the fastest check is to compare the Chinese characters. Open the relevant menu, find the characters next to the English explanation, and you have confirmed the concept regardless of how the English is phrased.

This is especially helpful for attributes and combat resources, where similar English words can describe different systems. The Chinese term removes that ambiguity instantly.

• Find the Chinese characters in the in-game UI.
• Match them against the glossary entry.
• Use the category column to confirm you are in the right system.
• Cross-check with a Chinese guide if you want extra context.

A learning order for the vocabulary

You do not need to memorize the whole glossary. A small, ordered core unlocks most Chinese guides, because the same handful of systems are referenced constantly. Learn them in the order they affect your decisions and the rest will fall into place through context.

Treat this like learning the controls of a new genre. Once the attributes and martial-art categories click, faction and combat terms become much easier to absorb, and campaign-system terms mostly describe places and events you will already recognize from play.

• First: the six attributes, because they shape every build decision.
• Second: martial-art categories (内功, 外功, 轻功, 绝技) that define your kit.
• Third: combat resources and defense terms that decide fights.
• Fourth: injury and recovery terms that govern your campaign health.
• Last: campaign and culture terms like 太吾村, 传承, 相枢, and 剑冢.

How readers can report corrections

The best correction report is short and specific. A page URL, the term being corrected, the official English wording, and a screenshot or source note are enough. Broad claims that a page is wrong are much harder to act on.

This process is also useful for readers: it turns the site into a shared correction desk where everyone benefits from each clarified term.

• Send the exact page URL.
• Quote the current wording and the official English wording.
• Include the Chinese term if it is visible in-game or known from old guides.
• Attach a screenshot or cite an official announcement when possible.
