Surprisingly, however, on 20 14, a girl named Sun Feifei claimed that she was a descendant of the Monkey King. Her action certainly aroused strong opposition from everyone. Who doesn't know that the Monkey King is a mythical figure fabricated by Wu Cheng'en out of thin air? He is a monkey and you are a human being? How can you two be related? But the girl didn't panic at all, still holding her ancestral home? Lingshi? And then what? Monkey hair? I came to the Institute of Life Sciences, Fudan University, claiming to have a genetic test to prove that I am from the Monkey King? Offspring? .
So is Sun Feifei unreasonable? We should see Sun Feifei first, right? Ancestors? What is the origin of the Monkey King? The origin of the Monkey King recorded in The Journey to the West is written like this:
On the top of that mountain, there is a fairy stone. Its stones are three feet six feet five inches high and two feet four feet round. Three feet six feet five inches high, showing 365 degrees on Sunday; Two feet and four feet in circles, according to the political calendar. There are nine holes and eight holes in the table. Press jiugong gossip. ?
Since Gai was opened, every time it was naive, more and more refined, and I felt well-informed for a long time. Fairy cells are bred in it and burst in one day, producing a stone egg the size of a ball. Seeing the wind, he became a stone monkey with five senses and all limbs. I learned to crawl and walk, and I worship the four directions. ?
We sum up the origin of the Monkey King in one sentence, that is? Jumped out of a rock? . However, this kind of novel writing often refers to swearing or innuendo. Generally, people who want to write will not write directly, but will use various kinds of? Machamp disorderly god? Life alludes to the characters you want to write. We can roughly extract the image characteristics of the Monkey King, and then compare it with historical figures to see if there really is one that can be traced back to the Monkey King. Prototype? .
What are the characteristics of the Monkey King's image? First, he is a monkey; Second, he jumped out of a stone; Secondly, he is strong; Then, he is not afraid of rape; Finally, learn from the west. According to these characteristics, we can find several historical sites in China. People? Much like the Monkey King in a way.
1 does not support qi
Wu Zhiqi is a monster or demon god recorded in Shan Hai Jing, which is different from other monsters or immortals in Shan Hai Jing. Wu Zhiqi was not only recorded in Shan Hai Jing, but also found in the later Tang Dynasty, which can be said to be very true.
Legend has it that Wuqi looks like an ape, with a flat nose, a prominent forehead, a white head and green body, and golden eyes. Sharp mouth and shrinking cheeks, golden eyes? 、? Eyebrow, nose and mud? The Monkey King is very similar and was born in Huaguoshan. At the same time, Wu was powerful until the depths of Huai River were everywhere, and he often made waves near Huai River, which made him very angry, so he let God capture Wu alive. Then what? Water and beasts are harmful, and I am locked at the foot of Junshan. ?
Originally, the story here was over, but I didn't want to come to the Tang Dynasty. In 797 A.D., Li Gongzuo unexpectedly met a helpless Qi State locked in the river by Dayu in Longxi. "Taiping Guangji" wrote:
In Yongtai, when Li Tang was the secretariat of Chuzhou, fishermen fished at the foot of Guishan Mountain at night. Its fishing is made by things and does not return. Fishermen swimming in the water will sink to the next 50 feet. Seeing that big iron lock, winding at the foot of the mountain, I don't know how to find it. Then I told Tang that Tang ordered dozens of fishermen and water people to get their locks, but there was no way to control them. More than 50 cows, the lock is shaking and landing slightly?
That big guy came out of the water? Shaped like an ape, with a long white moustache, Jin prong setting has snow teeth? 、? High school five Zhang Xu? And then what? If you are confused? ,? The water in the eyes and nose is like a spring, and the saliva stinks, making people unable to get close? . And everyone is watching this with interest? Monster? When did that unsupported qi suddenly wake up? Eyes suddenly opened, radiant. Looking at people makes you want to get angry? Scared people to flee for their lives, and finally Wuqi himself disappeared into the water.
This Wu Zhiqi is a monkey, fierce, and fearless of violence, but he is not a monk, nor does he jump out of a stone, and his name is different from that of the Monkey King.
2 Hu monk
Because The Journey to the West was adapted from Tang Xuanzong's The Tale of the Western Regions, we also try to find the answer from Tang Xuanzong's experience. It is said that because of the profound Buddhism of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, he was admired by many local people after he went to India. One of them, a monk named Shipanto, worshipped him very much, so he followed Xuanzong all the way to the Tang Dynasty to preach the Dharma. Shipanto is a semi-final of the conference and a monk at the same time. Can you still call him? Monk Hu? .
Hu yuhe? The pronunciation is very similar. In Journey to the West, the great sage Qi Tian, the founder of Bodhi, once said this:
The ancestor smiled and said, "Although you are humble, you look like a pine nut eater. I bring a surname, which means to teach you a surname. Yan Zi went to find a wild animal, but it was Gu Yue. The ancients were old; The moon is cloudy. Old Yin is uneducated, so it is better to teach you the surname' Yi'. The word comes to the side of the beast, but it is a subsystem. Children, children and men; Tie, baby jingya. Consistent with the baby theory. Teach your surname' Sun'. ?
So the Monkey King is? Hey? Therefore, it is more likely that Shipantou is the prototype of the Monkey King, which also meets the requirements of learning from the West.
However, neither Wu nor Shipanto can be the ancestors of Sun Feifei. Because Sun Feifei is a human being and Wu is a monster. And Sun Feifei took out the relics of her ancestors. Monkey hair? I don't know why her genetic variation has become so great that she directly changed from a monkey to a human. However, the professor of Fudan University did not find it directly, but humorously said:
DNA identification also needs to coordinate biological disciplines, because it crosses races?
Soon after, Sun Feifei's genetic identification results didn't come out, but she kept posting on the Internet and posted her own beautiful photos, which made Sun Feifei furious.
