Ship War
Like with other Honkai: Star Rail ships, people who ship Blade/Jing Yuan are divided into several polarizing camps: those who ship Top Jing Yuan/Bottom Blade, those who ship Top Blade/Bottom Jing Yuan, and those who don't have a preference or ship them as switches.
Following traditional shipping conventions, this preference in sexual positions determines whether the ship is referred to as Jingren, Renjing, or Jingrenjing/Renjingren. The character 'ren' in the ship names comes from the pinyin of Blade's Chinese name, 刃.
On social media like Twitter, these ship names are often written as emojis, with the orientations preserved. 🦁 refers to Jing Yuan, ⚔️ refers to Blade, and 🔁 or 🔄 refers to whether or not they switch. For example, ⚔️🦁, 🔄❌ would read 'Renjing, no switching.'
On Chinese social media like Lofter, Jingren and Renjing shippers, like shippers of other ships where sexual position is a hot topic, refer to each other as 对家 or 'opposing house/camp'.
Blade is also known as Yingxing, 应星, and while they are generally understood to be the same people, there is a different set of ship names associated with Yingxing/Jing Yuan, Jingxing/Jingying for Top Jing Yuan/Bottom Yingxing and Yingjing/Xingjing for Top Yingxing/Bottom Jing Yuan.
