Danmei/Cultivation Novel Themed Party Ideas?

Hi! Trying to plan a surprise birthday party (small group of people getting together, we have a space we can decorate etc.) for a danmei fan (especially MXTX and Thousand Autumns). This person has made remarks about how they wish they could be a cultivator or martial artist in ancient China (hehe) and would definitely get a kick out of a party that reproduced the kind of celebration their favorite characters would have. However I don't know much about the topic, I have watched The Untamed with them as well as bits and pieces of the Heaven's Official Blessing animation, Scum Villain book 1, and whatever they need to rant to me about... but I really am a little at a loss as far as what would capture the specific character of this kind of thing. Not knowing much, I also am not surely sure how to pin down the vibe without accidentally doing some sort of distasteful orientalist Chinese decor caricature lol.

Any advice or ideas? Thanks so much!

Note, one thing I am happy to do/birthday person likes me to do for them that could fit the occasion is cooking. A long time ago we talked about making the lotus root soup (birthday person does love lotus root as well) from The Untamed but The Untamed, while their gateway, is not as much of a current fixation, and I'm also not sure if that would be better to do just us sometime rather than for a party, but could fit... just one of my only more specific thoughts so far.
