0 1, the person who carries the burden is really Pig Bajie. I want to say here, don't be confused by TV adaptation. In fact, Pig Bajie did it, and we can't deprive Pig Bajie of the credit. Even if you only watch the TV version of Journey to the West, you should remember what the Tathagata Buddha said about Pig Bajie:
Zhu Wuneng, the water god of Tianhe and marshal of Tian Peng, played a fairy moth for you at the flat peach party, demoted you to be reincarnated in the inferior world, like an animal. Fortunately, you remembered the life you loved and the crime you committed in Zhan Yundong, Fuling Mountain. You are happy to return to Buddhism. You are a monk on the road. However, you are stubborn and sexy. Because of your contribution, you were promoted to your post and became a clean altar messenger. There is an important point to circle here, that is, pig eight quit? Take responsibility? In other words, the bearer on the westbound road is Zhu Bajie, and the Tathagata Buddha also affirmed his contribution. The original plot of this paragraph is consistent with the TV series.
Seriously, it's also a BUG in TV adaptation. It portrayed the image of a lazy pig in front, and enriched the image of Friar Sand with a pole, but it didn't come back when the Buddha came to reward him.
In addition, from the perspective of psychology in the Ming Dynasty, it is tempering for pigs to carry the burden. Pigs represent all kinds of desires and delusions in our hearts. If we are to face many temptations in the world, we need eight commandments to regulate ourselves, which are called eight precepts. In the process of keeping precepts, you need a heavy burden to hone, so give him a task to bear. In the end, what we need to realize is one? what's up Word, what can I do What can't I do? Therefore, Pig Bajie's name is Wuneng.
02. Friar Sand is generally only responsible for leading the horse to make soy sauce. Let's take a look at Friar Sand again. All he did on the way to get the scriptures was lead the horse. He doesn't talk much at ordinary times, and he plays soy sauce silently. If there is a conflict in the team, he will come out to stop the fight according to the situation, or if Tang Priest and Pig Bajie are taken away, he will inform the Monkey King.
The rest of the time, Friar Sand is in charge of leading horses, monitoring the procession of obtaining scriptures, silently playing soy sauce, exorcising demons, and going out to fast, all of which are the Monkey King and Pig.
But when we look at the strength of Friar Sand, he is neck and neck with Pig Bajie in Liushahe, and his own weapons and techniques are similar to Pig Bajie. He is the captain of the Jade Emperor's bodyguard. Facing the encirclement led by Liu Er's macaque, he can kill a monkey demon and then rush out alone to complain to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
It can be proved that Friar Sand's strength is there, but it is more likely to monitor the Buddhist scriptures team for the Jade Emperor and report the specific situation.
03. There are necessities and all kinds of treasures in the luggage. Except who is in charge of carrying luggage, many people are curious about their luggage. What's in it? Then I'll make an inventory for you:
In ancient times, it was inevitable to bring a lot of necessities and dry food on the road. In detail, there is broken silver as a toll; Review the scriptures every day; Have a customs clearance certificate; Have a regular haircut and shave with a Buddhist monk's knife; There are ordinary cassocks, monk's hats and changing socks; Tiger skin skirt replaced by Monkey King; There are bedding for sleeping.
In addition to daily necessities, there are various precious treasures, such as the Zijin alms bowl presented by the royal family. As a reward, Tang Priest learned 5048 volumes from the Western Heaven, which is the number of Tibetan scriptures. For example, the trophy rhinoceros horn in Jinping County is a precious refining material; For example, a dragon robe inlaid with jewels can avoid disasters and win the worship of all gods.
Therefore, Pig Bajie usually bears a heavy task of courage, and his mission is also very important, making the Buddha forget the past and sealing him as the messenger of the net altar.
Knowing the literature and history, I will help you restore the true journey to the west with my heart and see the world of light and darkness. If you have different opinions, please discuss them together in the comments section.
