其实我只是想说，我所认为的莱辛的历史原型非常酷，与AKN的他有很多对照之处。如果大家可以翻一下Heine's On the History of Religion and Philosophy in Germany就好了! 真的很希望有人能与我讨论：（

Sharing some thoughts on Lessing's prototype: I’ve always thought he is based on Gotthold Lessing from the Enlightenment. I ruled out Doris Lessing in my lore research because Lessing is her married name (born Doris Tayler).（1/3）

He naturally opposed orthodox theologians' monopoly on biblical interpretation. His final play, Nathan the Wise, champions the freedom to believe guided by one's own conscience, arguing no religion has the right to persecute dissidents or atheists—absolute religious tolerance.(5)

[Perfect Entity @ireneark2]

Also, He saw human freedom as a perpetual pursuit. We can never permanently possess the absolute truth; rather, our greatest dignity and spiritual freedom lie in the very process of seeking it. (5)

[Perfect Entity @ireneark2]

To add it: He didn't believe in traditional free will. Instead, he embraced Spinoza's "God or Nature" (Deus sive Natura)—the idea that human reason can fully grasp this necessity and act according to the necessity of their own nature. (4)

Lessing’s "freedom" isn't just freedom of speech; it has multiple layers. One key aspect is his Spinozism, which sparked the Pantheism Controversy over faith vs. reason after his death.(3/3)

[Perfect Entity @ireneark2]

Furthermore, apart from his aesthetic discourses, Gotthold frequently debated with numerous dogmatic theologians. He often put himself in dangerous positions, yet he always stayed true to his free spirit. The parallels are definitely there.（2/3）

@D8G3S_X0D For German names, 'Le' is typically transliterated as 'Lai' (莱), and 'sing' as 'Xin' (辛). So 'Lessing' phonetically becomes 'Lai-Xin' (莱辛).

[Perfect Entity @ireneark2]

@D8G3S_X0D But actually, '莱辛' (Lai Xin) is just the standard Chinese translation of his prototype's name, 'Lessing'—Chinese has specific rules for transliterating foreign names.

[Perfect Entity @ireneark2]

@D8G3S_X0D That being said, the historical Lessing was an incredibly cool Spinozist! It was a highly radical and groundbreaking ideology at the time, and it even sparked the 'Pantheism Controversy' in Germany that lasted for years afterward.

[Perfect Entity @ireneark2]

@D8G3S_X0D As a Chinese player, I see it this way: '颂' is the traditional music for praising ancestors in temple rituals. So his codename, '止颂' (Stopping the Song), literally means stopping this music from playing. It gives off the vibe of bringing an end to everything ancient and old.

[Perfect Entity @ireneark2]

@geundealuser But I just can't help but add this! The historical Lessing was an incredibly cool Spinozist (which was a quite radical and dangerous ideology in his time). He also championed personal independence and freedom of thought.

[Perfect Entity @ireneark2]

@geundealuser Actually, in Chinese, 颂 is also a genre of ceremonial music from the Zhou Dynasty's Classic of Poetry. It consists of dance music and lyrics used in ancestral temple rituals to praise the virtues of ancestors.

[Perfect Entity @ireneark2]

@geundealuser From my perspective as a Chinese player, the literal meaning of his Chinese name (止颂) carries a sense of bringing an end to all old and ancient things. But it seems his official English name is simply 'Lessing', which is just the surname of his real-life historical prototype.
