The main story of Journey to the West comes from the Records of the Western Regions of Datang and The biography of Master Sanzang, which tells the story of Tang Priest learning from the West. The Journey to the West's Hundred Times was influenced by the earlier The Journey to the West Zaju, while The Journey to the West Zaju was developed from the previous scripts. The first book and the first book's zaju, the official met a thief and played the story of the murder of Tang Priest's father Chen Guangrui when he took office. There is no earth-shattering plot, and the protagonist is Tang Priest instead of the Monkey King. By the mid-Ming Dynasty, after the hundred pieces of Journey to the West were written, the Monkey King became the protagonist, which is now The Journey to the West.
When I first started watching Journey to the West, I thought the story was very simple, especially in the back, which was nothing more than the process of being killed-fighting the law-breaking through the customs. The form looks a bit repetitive, but the content is wonderful and coherent, and it won't make people feel boring. When reading, I am easily entangled in the huge world system, fairy demon system and various exotic customs constructed by the author, so that I won't go into some details in the novel, and even some obvious unreasonable places in the novel are often ignored.
I'm sure that even after reading hundreds of novels, most people are only familiar with the story of The Journey to the West. I'm afraid not many people really see the mystery. Of course, there are many far-fetched explanations on the market now, such as "The Success of Journey to the West" and "The Economics of Journey to the West", which are very enjoyable for everyone to watch. So today I want to try to start with the clues in The Journey to the West's Baihui article. Without adding chicken soup or seasoning, I will start from the content of the article and explain to you the wonderful things about The Journey to the West.
First, let's test how much you know about Journey to the West. Ask a few questions:
First of all, the Monkey King used a golden hoop.
Bajie used a nine-toothed rake.
What does Friar Sand use? The first impression of friends who have seen TV series is a long stick, with a flat shovel at one end and a crescent moon at the other. Friends, this thing is called a convenient chain shovel, which is probably the same as your weapon. What weapon did Friar Sand use? Look at the original
Friar Sand appeared:
Later, Friar Sand introduced the demon slayer:
I don't know yet. What does this demon-reducing staff look like? Tongtianhe had a more detailed introduction when he met the perceptual king, and also described the appearance of the demon-reducing staff through the mouth of the perceptual king.
It turns out that Friar Sand's wand looks like a rolling pin, not a mord. Made of Thoreau wood, the wood comes from the Moon Palace, cut by WU GANG and made by skillful craftsman Lu Ban. Its core is inlaid with gold and its exterior is inlaid with jewels. The Jade Emperor gave it to Friar Sand. There is also an allusion to Thoreau's great power, which is related to Buddha Sakyamuni. According to legend, Sakyamuni's mother gave birth to Sakyamuni with the help of Thoreau, so it is also called Shenmu or Shenmu.
Let's talk about the answer "Thirteen Years of Zhenguan" first. It was in this year that Tang Priest was born and learned Taoism.
The top scholar in the exam, Tang Priest was born in the same year (Guangrui married a full house of charming people until Tang Priest was born only three or four months ago, so I won't talk about it here):
Eighteen years after Tang Priest became a monk, confessed his mother and took revenge, Tang Priest grew up and took to the altar to speak:
Supposedly, it should be thirty-one years of Zhenguan (there is no thirty-one years in actual history), but time seems to have solidified. There are four places with clear time records in The Journey to the West: First, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, in the ninth year. That year, the Monkey King was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain (actually, he was rescued from the Tang Priest in 63 1 year, not in 500 years), and the next year was the twenty-seventh year of Zhenguan, and he came back from the scriptures. Third, wangjinglou was built in the 16th year of Zhenguan. Fourth, the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, AD 639.
It can be said that in the description of Journey to the West, everything on earth happened in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan. This year, all the ins and outs of The Journey to the West were explained. Is this strange time disorder really the author's fault? Apart from this disordered time, it is not chaotic at all, and it is clear and logical. What happened from the appendix to the fourteenth and seventh chapters was in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan. People who have read it carefully can easily find this doubt.
Chang 'e was originally named Heng E, but it was renamed Chang 'e to avoid Liu Heng's taboo. According to legend, Di Ku's daughter married Hou Yi. Later, she took the Queen Mother of the West and became famous. These are all folklore, but is this how Journey to the West is expressed? In the famous TV series, Chang 'e danced, and the eyes on the ceiling were straight, and finally she went to the wrong place. Let's see how the original text is written:
These words express such a meaning. Tian Peng came to Guanghan Palace drunk, and a Gong E named Romantic Fairy came out to meet him. The romantic fairy is so beautiful that the ceiling is moved. The canopy is respectable, but it can't be said that pulling this little fairy is sleepy.
Later, the Jade Rabbit descended to earth and became a fine woman, pretending to be a princess and wanting to marry the Tang Priest. Finally, Xing Jun, the official leader of the Moon Palace, came to appease the Jade Rabbit.
I wrote about Heng E and Chang 'e many times here. Finally, I wrote about another fairy named Nishang Fairy. It can be seen that Chang 'e is just a general term, referring to the grass-roots fairy who works in the Tiangong.
Maybe everyone thinks this question is very strange. Is it not four people and one horse, or one person, one monkey, one pig, one river demon and one horse? If you really think so, I can only say that the poison in your TV series is too deep.
The six Ding, six Jia, five Di, four meritorious deeds and eighteen protectors mentioned here are the guards who secretly protect the Tang Priest. To put it bluntly, it is a player wearing an invisibility cloak. These people went all the way to the Tang Priest's Buddhist paradise, and met monsters many times to protect Tang Priest. Sometimes they run errands for help and send letters. Although the scene is not big, they are also real team members.
Counting the number of people, there are 12 people, 9 people who are Five-Party Jiedi Four-Value Gongcao, and 18 people who are guardians. There are 39 people in A * * *, including four mentoring and Bai, and 44 people in A * * *. Let's see who sent it:
Well, if you can answer more than three of the above four questions, it means that you have really read the original book and have not been poisoned too much by the movie version of The Journey to the West, then I will enter the main part to talk about today.
The story of Journey to the West can be divided into three parts:
Today, I mainly watch the first movie "Make a scene in Heaven", so I want to focus on two words: "Who is it?" . Came up with "who's who?" Only by understanding why The Journey to the West wrote this way, and who is who, can we analyze the story of western learning spreading to the east. Maybe what I said is awkward, so I want to analyze the following two questions.
The world system in The Journey to the West and the position of Guo Huashan are described in this book:
Since the beginning of the world, this fairy stone has been influenced by the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon. Many years later, a fairy fetus was born in the fairy stone. It looks like a spherical stone egg. And the Monkey King is the stone egg that turned into a stone monkey because of the wind. It is certain that the prototype of the Monkey King is a stone egg. So what is this stone egg? The cause and effect of this stone egg is related to the Monkey King's life experience.
Let's put aside the origin of this fairy stone for a while. There is an interesting passage in the book describing the war between Wukong and Prince Nezha. Let's see:
The word "meet the origin" is particularly eye-catching here. What are the similarities between Prince Nezha and the stone monkey? In my opinion, there are only two explanations for the origin:
As for the first point, we know that the Monkey King had two masters in Journey to the West, one was Tang Priest and the other was Bodhi. The Tang Priest was reincarnated during the Heavenly Palace Massacre, so Wukong's master was Bodhi at this time. Li's master may blurt out that "Taiyi is a real person", but there is no positive description of Nezha's master in The Journey to the West. So this speculation is untenable, because there is no evidence of the original text.
For the second point, Wukong and Nezha are the same father. It is even more nonsense. King Li Jing of Tota never gave birth to monkeys, and Nezha never jumped out of a rock, so this article seems to be beside the point. But wait a minute ... It's good that Nezha is the third son of Li Jing, but Nezha seems to "return the meat to his mother and the bones to his father". Let's see what the book says.
These paragraphs tell us a few points:
In this way, the origin of Nezha's life is basically clear, that is, Tathagata. So is the immortal stone that gave birth to Wukong related to the Tathagata? Let's look for the original. I came to Wukong to kick over the gossip stove and kick the hall. Wukong was surrounded by a 36-member general named Lei Gai, and in the fight, Wukong showed his true colors.
The Monkey King's true nature is a round, luminous, invulnerable monster who can do good and bad things. So what exactly is Manizu? It seems that the name has something to do with Buddhism and Sakyamuni. There are two explanations for this thing: one is jewelry, which is famous for its wishful beads; Second, the relics of the past. In the following article describing Jin Lan's cassock, there is such a passage:
Among them, Ruyi Zhu is juxtaposed with Manizu, which shows that Manizu should be a relic of the past. It can also be explained that the immortal stone calling the Monkey King is a relic of the past, and it can also be said that it is a relic left by Sakyamuni Buddha after nirvana. It can be seen that the origin of Wukong is also Tathagata Buddha. The correspondence between the two can basically explain that Wukong's origin is not heaven and earth in the general sense. He has the nature of Buddhism, and he is also the most proficient in Buddhism in the whole westward journey.
Maybe you think it's a bit far-fetched to conclude that the Monkey King is the relic of the Tathagata Buddha only from the "origin" and "Manizu", so after listening to my analysis of bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi
Bodhi is a mysterious figure in The Journey to the West. It seems to be magical and has a large number of believers, but the immortal system and demon system mentioned in the second and subsequent stories have never mentioned Bodhi. Who the hell is he? What is the purpose of his teaching Wukong skills? There are many mysteries, especially when Wukong went down the mountain. What he said to Wukong was really strange.
You taught the Monkey King magic when you knew he would get into trouble. That doesn't mean you teach him spells to get into trouble! There are many miraculous immortals in The Journey to the West's system, but it will take 500 years to know the real water chestnut with phoenix feathers. Even the Taoist grandfather Lao Jun dare not say that he can predict the future, so this Bodhi founder is either bragging or planning something, and the Monkey King is just a pawn in his hand.
From the word "Bodhi" written by the founder of Bodhi, we all know that the Bodhi tree has a special significance in Buddhism, and Sakyamuni realized the Tao under the Bodhi tree. So is this Bodhi founder one of the Buddhist deities? Let's take a look at the original description of Bodhi.
The words "Xi Shi", "ancestor", "truth" and "exorcist" were immediately associated with Sakyamuni Buddha. The level and orientation of Bodhi's founder is "the Great Jin Jue Fairy". Let's see what Dajue Jin Xian means:
It can be seen that it is highly probable that Bodhi was the founder of Sakyamuni. The details in the book have proved this many times.
The Monkey King's visit to the immortals came to Hezhou (the place where the Tathagata is located) in Xi 'niu, and came to a place called Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, and the Dojo of the Buddha was the Leidayin Temple in Tianzhu Lingshan. Lingtai Mountain-Lingshan should not be a coincidence. There are countless disciples who went out from their ancestors, just like Buddha's disciples.
Let's take a look at what Bodhi said in Fangcunshan class in Lingtai:
Let's take a look at what the Tathagata Buddha said in the class of Leidayin Temple in Lingshan:
It can't be such a coincidence. Bodhi is talking about the wonderful performance of three-way teaching in class, such as the wonderful classic of three-way teaching in class. This only shows that Bodhi is Tathagata, and Tathagata is Bodhi. Wukong is always eager to try from time to time on the way to learn from the scriptures, giving advice to Tang Priest's practice. One is that Wukong has Buddha nature, and the other is that he has heard many personal biographies of Tathagata in Lingtai Mountain. Therefore, among the four disciples, the highest Buddhism is not Tang Priest, but Wukong.
Let's take a look at Wukong's experience of studying Buddhism in Lingtai Mountain.
I have to say that when the Monkey King studied law in Lingtai Mountain, it was completely different. Wukong worked in Lingtai Mountain for seven years, only doing superficial work, but not touching the edge of Taoism. But the monkey head speaks before and after, and it can be said that it respects the teacher and emphasizes the road. In fact, what he thought was immortality, but when the teacher asked him, he replied that he had a way to learn. So the following dialogue happened, which was very wonderful:
The meaning of this passage is that the ancestors wanted to preach Wukong divination, and Wukong said that if he could not live forever, he would not learn.
This passage means that the ancestors asked Wukong if he wanted to learn from a hundred schools and so on, and Wukong asked if he could live forever. The ancestor answered "no". It's a little strange here. Wukong clearly said that he could not live forever. Why did his grandfathers recommend a science that could not live forever?
Even if you meditate and sleep in the valley, you can't live forever Wukong said not to learn.
Yang Can is immortal, but Wukong still doesn't learn the skill of gathering and nourishing Yin. Finally, Bodhi jumped down in anger, hit Wukong three times, turned around and left. Actually played a charade, Wukong went to his father's house in the middle of the night, and Bodhi's father mumbled a string of formulas in his ear. After that:
That is, from midnight (around midnight) to dawn (estimated at five or six o'clock), during this time, Wukong remembered the formula and learned the art of immortality. Is Wukong really a fairy? Obviously not. Three years later, the founder of Bodhi threw out a theory of "three disasters and three benefits".
The theory of once-in-500-year disaster mentioned by Bodhi's ancestor is still useful in The Journey to the West's interpretation, so I won't elaborate here. It's just that after he threw out the three disasters of "thunder, fire and wind", Wukong's longevity skills learned three years ago became uncertain, and he needed to learn the ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. See how Wukong learned later.
Just like learning to live forever, you can learn it by listening to a series of formulas. Later, the founder taught Wukong somersault cloud.
Another series of formulas. Other immortals and monsters in Journey to the West learn skills by time. Of course, some people become immortals after eating the elixir, so I won't elaborate here. Why did the Monkey King learn to live forever after ten years of work-study program? It took only two nights and one afternoon to learn these skills. In fact, this method of learning skills is similar to Buddhist epiphany, but no matter how savvy you are, it will never reach the sky. The reasonable explanation is that the Monkey King was born with these skills, and the formula taught by Bodhi's father is nothing more than activating these skills.
As will be mentioned later, the Tathagata gave Guanyin three tight hoops, namely "golden hoops, tight hoops and forbidden hoops", so that she and the Buddhist scriptures could accept three disciples. Of course, Guanyin later gave only one to the Tang Priest, and the forbidden hoop and the golden hoop received the black bear essence and Hong Haier for their own use. The usage of these three hoops is also a formula, and it is not necessary to practice the method of combining human hoops. Wukong's true face is Manizu, which is actually a magic weapon of Buddhism, so it is not surprising to use the formula to promote change.
Let's take a look at the story in the section "Five Elements of Mountain Setting Apes":
Tathagata made a bet with the Monkey King to see if Wukong could dig out Tathagata's right palm. As a result, Wukong's ability to somersault thousands of miles failed in Tathagata. Why? Not only because of Wukong's skill, but also because the formulas in his mind are taught by Tathagata. That's why when Wukong is in the hands of the Tathagata, his ability really can't come out, because people know how to crack your formula. So when the Tathagata first appeared as Tathagata, he would say:
The Monkey King is the illusion of Manizu jumping out of a stone. This is as clear as the Buddha, and Wukong himself is still in the dark at this time. The Monkey King couldn't jump out of the palm of Tathagata's hand. Tathagata has the ability to crush Wukong with one hand, but he let go and didn't kill Wukong directly. Instead, he nailed Wukong to the foot of Wuxing Mountain. The seemingly punishment is actually to let Wukong live, and it is not the Wuzhishan on him that catches Wukong, but the seal.
After reading this passage, you can know that before Tathagata knew that Wukong would be crushed by Wuxing Mountain, so he prepared a seal in advance. So what drove Tathagata to build a fighting machine like the Monkey King, and why did he put Wukong at the foot of Wuxing Mountain? I have to say, "I'm afraid to think it over."
People generally regard The Journey to the West as a book that emphasizes Buddhism and suppresses Taoism. It is believed that the Buddhist factions represented by Guanyin Bodhisattva use Buddhist scriptures to suppress Taoist forces represented by Jade Emperor and Laojun. That's right and wrong. In the Journey to the West, the forces of Buddhism did overwhelm the forces of Taoism, but they gained a balance in some kind of confrontation. If there is an opportunity to talk about learning from the West in the future, we will talk about it in detail, so I won't mention it here.
The relationship between the Jade Emperor, Tathagata and Laojun is nothing more than the relationship between the king and his lieutenant. However, the interests of the three people can be said to be complicated, and it is not clear in a few words. Let's take a look at how the Tathagata introduced the Jade Emperor to the Monkey King:
From this sentence, we draw the following conclusions.
We mentioned the "three disasters" when we talked about the bodhi ancestor. Ordinary immortals are a once-in-a-lifetime disaster. I don't know how many minor disasters there are in the life of the Jade Emperor. Then the reason why the Jade Emperor is the Jade Emperor is not because of his profound Taoism and strong force, but because of his superior robbery skills.
In The Journey to the West, we have never seen the Jade Emperor use magic or any force, but in TV series, the Jade Emperor was chased by Wukong under the table. In the whole process of making a scene in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor did not lose his temper, but remained calm and never lost the emperor's system.
Let's take a look at Taishang Laojun again. Taishang Laojun is the ancestor, that is, the chief leader of all Taoism. In Taoism, the worshippers of Sanqing are Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Giant Buddha and Moral Giant Buddha. In folklore, it is believed that Pangu is the ancestor of the world, and Pangu is also called Yuan Shizu. But not in The Journey to the West's immortal system. The Monkey King said such a passage when dealing with Nan Shan Wang.
Taiqing is the Buddha of the Yuan Dynasty. According to folk mythology, he created the world by Pangu, but the world here seems to be the work of Li Laojun. Anyway, according to the article, since Taishang Laojun is the ancestor of creation, his age and influence are second to none in the whole celestial world. Let's take a look at the world system of Journey to the West:
This situation is more subtle. This old gentleman is the ancestor of Tian Kai, but he must be a courtier of the Jade Emperor. Although the Jade Emperor is regarded as "the God of Heaven, the Jade Emperor and Heaven, the Xuan the king of world", he has such an ancestor-level courtiers, and most of the courtiers in the sky are the disciples and grandchildren of the old gentleman. This jade emperor is not so easy to be taken away.
We must clearly know that the Jade Emperor is not only the highest leader of Taoism, but also the highest god in the universe. That is to say, the Jade Emperor governs all kinds of gods, immortals, earthly gods and buddhas. Therefore, when the Taoist school is full of power and seriously endangers the authority of the Jade Emperor, the best way is to foster another school of power to balance it. Obviously, the Jade Emperor chose Tathagata and helped him to the high position of Tathagata, so that Tathagata and Daozu would be on an equal footing, which naturally made the forces of the immortals restrict each other, and no one would be too big to fail.
So why did the Jade Emperor choose Tathagata? I think there are several criteria for him to choose training objects:
Obviously, Tathagata satisfies 1 and 2. So does the Tathagata have any problems with Taoism? Let's read the original text.
Who opened the sky? As I said before, it's too old. Let heaven and earth meet again after the old gentleman opens the sky. "One life is two, two lives are three, and three lives are all things." This includes peacocks. It happened that Tathagata was refined into a golden body at the top of the snowy mountain, and was sucked down by the peacock before going down the mountain. This is a naked murder, but fortunately, the Tathagata's golden body has become indigestible for a peacock, so he broke his back. Is Tathagata very angry at this time? No sooner had he turned into a golden body than he was ambushed by a peacock. He tried to kill him, but he didn't. Why not kill? It was nothing more than that Buddhism could not compete with Taoism at that time, so it was a big deal to eat yabakui. However, this problem between Buddhism and Taoism is forged.
The Jade Emperor found the Tathagata, so the whole plan was rolled out. Let's combine the above and string the whole main line. First of all, the Tathagata took out the relics of previous lives, turned them into Manizu, and put them in Guo Huashan, the country of Dongsheng East China Sea, to absorb the aura of heaven and earth. Inject a soul into Manizu and turn it into a stone monkey. In other words, the essence of the Monkey King is that the Mani people have added a soul, which does not belong to monkeys. There is a life and death book as evidence.
Then, according to the arrangement made by the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata, the Monkey King went to Niuhezhou Lingtai Fangcun Mountain to learn Taoism. When he left, Bodhi left Wukong a sentence, "You will have a bad life here", which never appeared again. Wukong returned to Huaguoshan to be king. I don't know the details of this period Then the development of the story is that Wukong official appointed Bi Wei, once again reflected in the next session, and finally appointed Qi Tian to manage the flat peach garden.
While the Tathagata painstakingly created the chess piece the Monkey King, the Jade Emperor frequently mobilized in the civil and military ranks of Heaven to support the Buddhist forces. Among them, Li Jing, the king of Tota, was the fastest promoted in Wukong's havoc in Heaven. Let's take a look at Jing Li's promotion.
You see, they "played after class" and volunteered to play, but they haven't played yet. The heavenly king was promoted to marshal. In the the Monkey King incident, it was not only the Tathagata behind it that benefited, but Li Tianwang was the first direct beneficiary. Before this battle, he won fame first, and then with so many mountain soldiers, he only sent the giant spirit god and Nezha out to play two games and then retired, saying that he could not lose the demon monkey.
In the lower bound of Wukong's second trouble, Li Tianwang's military strength has been successfully upgraded to100000.
Do you see it? After the monkey made a scene, Li Tianwang's power increased greatly by taking advantage of the encirclement and suppression of Huaguoshan. In the "Military Palm", he has become a magical warrior buried in heaven by Buddhists. After the Tathagata, you can respect the Western Heaven and smoothly carry out the westward journey plan. In addition to making use of the Monkey King to make havoc in Heaven, Li Tianwang and Nezha, the chess pieces that have already been laid, also played a great role, so we can see that Huaguoshan is surrounded by eighteen encirclement in the battle.
When I read the sentence "I have never caught a monkey spirit" at that time, I really couldn't understand why the author emphasized that all monsters were caught, that is, there were no monkeys. After learning about the Journey to the West, I finally realized that Wang Yi-ding Li was ordered by the Tathagata to use the Huaguoshan incident to constantly expand his power and lay a solid foundation for the future rise of the Tathagata.
The Jade Emperor and King Totali echoed each other. King Li greatly increased his strength through the Wukong incident, and his failure to destroy the Monkey King became the reason to strengthen himself. Then Li Tianwang belongs to Taoist immortals anyway. Isn't his growth conducive to Taoism dominated by the old gentleman? No, no, no, in fact, we mentioned earlier that Nezha, the third son of Li Jing, is the lotus incarnation of Tathagata, and Li Jing's exquisite pagoda is also a gift of Tathagata. Look at his other two sons: Jinyun serves Tathagata and acts as a guard. Mu Cha, who was taken in by Guanyin Bodhisattva, was called the Hui 'an Walker. It is obvious which school Li Jing belongs to. Later, on the way to the west, Li Tianwang and his son appeared many times, as if they were sending troops on behalf of heaven. In fact, under close reading, this will comes from Tathagata, such as when attacking cattle:
Well, what is said here is to serve the jade emperor's will, but then again,
See, the real will comes from the Tathagata. Knowing this, we can finally understand the great talent of Tathagata. In troubled times, the Monkey King and Nezha had already laid the groundwork. When the time was ripe, they went to the Heavenly Palace step by step to send troops to encirclement and suppression as planned. Li Tianwang and his son took advantage of the situation and seized the military power. After sending troops twice, it "made a big fuss."
First, the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata teamed up to design, so that the Buddhist Tota King Li Jing could master the military power, and then the Tathagata went to the Lingxiao Hall to fix the Monkey King. In fact, readers always feel that killing a chicken with a knife is more meaningful when they look at the Tathagata. Why? Because just 36 yuan Lei has trapped Wukong in his heart, and he shows his true colors. Whenever one of the Jade Emperor's Sanqing, Siyu and Wulao came, Wukong was overwhelmed. Some people may think that the jade emperor can't send these senior immortals without harmony between monarch and minister, but let's see how the jade emperor sends these senior immortals.
At this time, the senior immortals not only arrived, but also gave enough face and presented treasures to the Tathagata in succession. You are welcome, Tathagata. Let's call it the An Tian Conference! Set heaven! Taoist immortals have said it twice: "What an anti-Heaven Congress! What a "An Tian Conference"! It means: helpless! After all, the Monkey King is the ancestor! After all, Tathagata won a bet with the Monkey King!
Tathagata named this meeting: After the An Tian Conference, how many people appeared here!
These three people have one thing in common: they all said that Tathagata conquered the demon monkey, which is the credit of Tathagata. Then the jade emperor arranged for Tathagata to stop for one day and reward him for his merits. Before the An Tian Conference, the Tathagata was called "Buddha", and after the Conference, the Jade Emperor called him "Buddha Lao". Since then, Tathagata has become the only Buddha in The Journey to the West on an equal footing with Daozu.
Finally, let's go back to the Jade Emperor. Why did the Jade Emperor rule the Three Realms and survive numerous disasters? It's just that he has one treasure-flat peaches. Flat peaches can prolong life, which is a good medicine for Du Jie. Therefore, the Jade Emperor's ability to sit firmly on the throne of the Three Realms is nothing more than mastering such a treasure that can help the immortal Du Jie. If you listen to me, it will bear fruit and you will live as long as the sky. If you don't listen, you will end up without results. You can only try your luck in the three disasters of thunder, fire and wind.
Having said that, I have to say more. Besides flat peaches, what else can help Du Jie, a monk?
It can be seen that after the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, there are only flat peaches left in the three realms, which can enable immortals and demons to tide over the "three difficulties". As long as the jade emperor holds this chip, he can naturally intimidate the three realms, and all the immortals have to obey the jade emperor for the sake of flat peach's face. As for those monks who are not included in the compilation-all kinds of monsters-they can only play the idea of Tang monk meat or golden cicada.
From the above analysis, we can know that there are still these mysteries behind the havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Of course, our basis is the original text, from the original text to the original text. Today, I mainly talk about the content from the first time to the seventh time, and of course, I also refer to the following articles as needed. From a macro point of view, the whole of The Journey to the West is the immortal version of imperial power.
Of course, the Buddhist scriptures that happened later were also designed according to the direction of the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata, but during this period, Taoism fought back, such as Huang Fengguai and the King of Golden Horn and Silver Horn; Buddhism also has compromises, such as the one-horned king; The Jade Emperor does not always emphasize Buddhism and suppress Taoism, but occasionally tries to strike a balance. Tathagata and Jade Emperor are not unified. Of course, he can get as many benefits as he wants, and the jade emperor will naturally not let the Tathagata grow bigger and bigger. So many hardships on the westbound road are nothing more than the appearance of this struggle and development.
As for the mystery of Tang Priest's life experience, the mystery of true and false Monkey King and other wonderful stories, we will talk about them later.
Thank you all.
