The dedication that went towards making this list is impressive enough, but I can also say that the author's fics rock. Truly talented. Much respect!
Rules of the Gusu Lan Clan
Since I wrote my fic about junior Wei Wuxian trying to follow every rule, I’ve been wanting to compile a list of all known rules across multiple sources, and apparently today is the day for that.
General notes:
According to the MDZS novel, there are 3,000 rules at the time of the lectures, and 4,000 rules 13 years later after Wei Wuxian is resurrected. According to CQL, there are 3,500 rules at the time of the lectures.
These rules are presumably numbered, as when Lan Wangji is being beaten, Lan Qiren asks him “what is the 52nd doctrine of the Lan clan?” However, they are given in a different order in different sources so establishing how they are numbered is impossible. Since we can’t know the order they “belong” in, I’ve organized them by grouping them thematically. For the few I know numbers for, those numbers are included in parenthesis.
I don’t know how these rules are referred to in Chinese; in English they are translated as rules, principals, doctrines, or laws. Based on contextual clues, it’s possible that the rules are sorted into different categories (ie, principals vs. doctrines vs. rules)
I did my best to consolidate the rules listed duplicatively over multiple sources, but as I don’t speak Chinese and therefore cannot say which are identical in the original, there is likely some redundancy. This is exacerbated by a lot of rules apparently being given in both “do not” and “be” forms - ie, “do not disrespect elders” and “be filial” and “be respectful to teachers” are all rules. The reason I opted to leave these areas of redundancy is that this compiled list is around 175 rules. There are 3,000 plus of these things. If just ~175 have this much duplication the amount of redundancy in the actual list must be insane, so I think these overlapping rules are intentional and consolidating them would be inappropriate.

Ok so I saw this uncrustables add on Pinterest and I have to wonder...
Does that mean if you cut them up do they just clone? Like could you build a peanut butter and jelly crumb army out of tortured sandwiches?
How far does it go?
Who's the original? The crust? The uncrust? Does the original die and those two are the result?
Do they not feel pain?
Do they not feel the missing part of them like a phantom limb.
Do they miss what they once were do they feel horror at what they are? What they've become?
Which one feels that they have been given a merciful end? The uncrust which has been deemed useful condemned a tortured end as they are consumed by their creators but the pain of what they are missing will never truly hit them or the crust which has been discarded and deemed as worthless by their creators but able to live to an old age knowing that a part of them that they can never get back is missing and dead.
