	Mojia Village features in the manhua ''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' as a community guarding the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] tradition and the home of the protagonist [[Li E]]. As a term, ''Mòjiā'' (墨家; <small>lit.</small>'School of Mo') means {{wiki\|Mohism}}, a classical Chinese philosophy named after its reputed founder {{wiki\|Mozi}}. By coincidence, the surname Mo (墨) means 'ink', allowing for an alternative though normally erroneous translation of 'ink school'. Another translation could be 'the House of Mo'. Early promotional media for ''Assassin's Creed: Dynasty'', like the character profile for [[Pei Min]], showed that "Mohist" was clearly the intended meaning. Pei Min was there even referred to as a ''[[wikt:鉅子\|juzi]]'' (鉅子), a honorific title among Mohists.

	However, by the time of ''Dynasty''{{'}}s release, all mentions to Mohism had been expunged apart from the village name. Additionally, in the ninth chapter, "[[Beacon Fire (Part 2)]]", Li E's companion [[Jing Jing]] describes his routine at the village as consisting of eight hours of ink-making. Inkmaking is therefore implied to be the central industry of the village. This coincidence initially appears to be a pun, but it may instead have been a means to indicate to readers that the village name Mojia does not mean "Mohist" as usual but a community of inkmakers. In the original Chinese text of the manhua, the intended meaning becomes ambiguous with the inclusion of this line. The official English translation by [[~~Tokypop~~]] renders it '''Ink Village''' although the work as a whole is replete with numerous translation errors in the first place, so it is unclear if this is also an error.

			==Behind the scenes==
			[[File:ACDy CharacterBio(PeiMin).jpg\|thumb\|right\|250px\|Pre-release character bio for Pei Min.]]
			Mojia Village features in the manhua ''[[Assassin's Creed: Dynasty]]'' as a community guarding the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] tradition and the home of the protagonist [[Li E]]. As a term, ''Mòjiā'' (墨家; <small>lit.</small>'School of Mo') means {{wiki\|Mohism}}, a classical Chinese philosophy named after its reputed founder {{wiki\|Mozi}}. By coincidence, the surname Mo (墨) means 'ink', allowing for an alternative though normally erroneous translation of 'ink school'. Another translation could be 'the House of Mo'. Early promotional media for ''Assassin's Creed: Dynasty'', like the character profile for [[Pei Min]], showed that "Mohist" was clearly the intended meaning. Pei Min was there even referred to as a ''[[wikt:鉅子\|juzi]]'' (鉅子), a honorific title among Mohists.

			However, by the time of ''Dynasty''{{'}}s release, all mentions to Mohism had been expunged apart from the village name. Additionally, in the ninth chapter, "[[Beacon Fire (Part 2)]]", Li E's companion [[Jing Jing]] describes his routine at the village as consisting of eight hours of ink-making. Inkmaking is therefore implied to be the central industry of the village. This coincidence initially appears to be a pun, but it may instead have been a means to indicate to readers that the village name ''Mòjiā'' does not mean "Mohist" as usual but a village of ink-makers. In the original Chinese text of the manhua, the intended meaning becomes ambiguous with the inclusion of this line. The official English translation by Tokypop renders it "Ink Village" although the work as a whole is replete with numerous translation errors in the first place, so it is unclear if this is also an error.

			Several elements of the story were cut, rewritten, or altered between the marketing period and the official release, sudden changes which may have coincided with the unannounced disappearance of one of the original authors Zhang Xiao (張肖). The implied change to the meaning of Mojia Village and the absence of any other mention of Mohism suggests a decision to remove a connection between Mohism and the Assassins in the final story draft. To err on the side of caution, this article retains the ambiguity by leaving the village name untranslated.
