The Spread Shot of Hong Meiling from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). She protects the Scarlet Devil Mansion's gate in this attack. Have you ever looked into the mansion's history? Where was it before it came to Gensokyo? For how long did the Scarlet family exist before the Scarlet Sisters were born? What events lie in the family's past? How long have each of the mansion's current residents been there? Everything is shrouded in mystery.

The Focus Shot of Hong Meiling from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). The gate-protecting fairies attack. Many fairies work as maids in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Actually, it might be more accurate to say they are playing and pretending to be maids. It seems when Meiling is fighting intruders, some of the fairies assist her, but maybe that's just another example of them playing.

A Spell Card of Hong Meiling from the world shrouded in scarlet mist. Mysterious flowers bewitch her opponents in this attack. It only became clear after the Scarlet Mist Incident ended, but Meiling is also in charge of tending to the flowers in the Scarlet Devil Mansion's garden. Plants that grow flowers gather temperament from the ground, so you could say they operate as nature's temperament factories. The witch Patchouli is not skilled at making medicine, but it seems possible that she grows certain plants in the garden with the aim of using the temperament they gather.

A Spell Card of Hong Meiling from the world shrouded in scarlet mist. She releases a typhoon of colorful temperament in this attack. The concept of "qi" is ancient, and you wouldn't be wrong to think about it as referring to the flow of energy. Types of energy that flow within, such as vigor, sanity, vitality, and morale, as well as types that flow without, like the atmosphere, air, humidity, and cold winds, can both be called qi. A fundamental principle of qi is that the internal and external qi are connected via the breath (formed of an inhale and an exhale).

The Last Word of Hong Meiling from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). She fully utilizes her own martial arts in this attack. Meiling appears to be an expert fighter who doesn't use weapons. A culture of using unarmed combat to demonstrate one's fighting prowess has existed since ancient times, particularly in China. With Meiling being a youkai from China, her fighting capabilities are off the chart. Although... even without weapons, just being a youkai makes her strong by definition.
