Copyright

You're welcome to copy, share, translate, and build on teawithXiake's own text and illustrations under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 license (CC BY-NC 4.0), as long as you:

• credit teawithXiake and link back to the original page, and
• don't use the work commercially.

Anything commercial — selling it, putting it behind ads or a paywall, or using it in a paid product — needs written permission first. Just ask at teawithxiake@gmail.com; we're usually happy to say yes.

This license covers teawithXiake's own work only. The classical texts and third-party material we quote stay with their owners — see each article's sources.

How to cite / 如何署名

Reusing a piece non-commercially? Attribution is one line. Every article carries a ready-to-copy version at its foot — or use this pattern:

• "<Article title>" by teawithXiake — <page URL> (CC BY-NC 4.0)
• 来源：teawithXiake《文章标题》—— <页面链接>（CC BY-NC 4.0）

• proof you own it, or are authorized to act for the owner;
• your name and contact details;
• a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized by you, the owner, or the law;
