Banghui bang hui · guild
A banghui is the guild: a club with a schedule, a ledger, and officers who check attendance.
Do not read It as a friends list. The guild keeps a record of who shows up and who only collects rewards.
In games Guild tasks, guild bosses, territory wars and a weekly contribution total. Officers use that total to decide who stays.

Qingyuan qing yuan · partner
Qingyuan is the partner slot: shared buffs and a public label beside both names.
Do not read It as a private relationship. The label is visible to everyone, and many pairings are friends farming buffs.
In games Often needs a level, a fee and a ceremony; breaking it can cost a fee and a cooldown before either side can pair again.

Jiebai jie bai · sworn siblings
Jiebai is a sworn-sibling ritual: a shared title, a private channel, and a promise to help.
Do not read It as a cosmetic title. The promise is the point, and leaving the group is visible to everyone in it.
In games A group buff, a private chat and sometimes a shared name prefix. Cheap to form, socially expensive to abandon.

Mianzi mian zi · face
Mianzi is public standing: it is spent when you are corrected in front of an audience.
Do not read It as vanity. It works like credit — spent in public, repaired in private.
In games Why praise is loud in world chat and correction goes by private message. Arguing the point in public is the expensive part.

Tudi tu di · apprentice
A tudi is the apprentice in a master–apprentice pair, with starter help and a graduation reward.
Do not read It as a student tag. The master is rewarded when you graduate, so disappearing early costs them.
In games Starter gear, dungeon carries and a graduation reward paid to both sides. The master usually has to stay active.

FAQ Is a banghui just a guild?
Yes, but with a ledger. Most guilds track attendance and contribution, and inactive members are removed as bookkeeping rather than punishment.
Does banggong carry over if I leave?
Almost never. Treat it as guild property — spend it before you go, and assume the balance resets.
Can qingyuan be purely for the buffs?
Yes. Many pairings are friends farming shared bonuses, and “game only” is a normal clarification. The label is still public.
Is mianzi a stat I can raise?
No. It is a social reading, not a number. In games it explains why public correction causes disproportionate reactions.
