The Dragon King of the East China Sea was worried, or worried about his limited ability and influence, or unwilling to offend the Niu family alone, so he rang the golden bell of the iron drum and summoned the three dragon kings of the West Sea, the North Sea and the South China Sea.
"It's raining, like stars falling in the sky; Dense and heavy, like Haikou hanging upside down and rolling. At first it was as big as a fist, and then the urn fell on the basin. Water the duck on the ground and wash the Buddha's head on the mountain. Gully water flies to thousands of feet jade, and spring waves rise by two thousand silver. The fork in the road is full and the Jiuqu River is getting flat. "
In the myth of Journey to the West, the Tang Priest was killed and four dragon kings begged for rain together, which was very powerful. Although it rained heavily in private, it rained heavily, just like knocking down the Tianhe River and pouring down.

Although the water potential of the Dragon King in the Four Seas is strong, the Samadhi fire spewed by Hon Hai 'er is not only difficult to extinguish, but also more difficult to douse, adding fuel to the fire.
The Monkey King, the Great Sage of Monkey, who is famous in the Three Realms, was overwhelmed with anger this time.
Fortunately, the Monkey King has 72 lives. Later, after being saved by Pig and Friar Sand, the Monkey King sent Pig to the South China Sea to invite Guanyin Bodhisattva in a low voice.
Back to the original 4 1 of The Journey to the West's four classical novels, in the chapter "The mind was defeated by fire, and Jiang Mumu was captured by the devil", it was said that Hon Hai 'er knew about Pig's trip to the South China Sea, so he set up a checkpoint on the way, incarnated Guanyin Bodhisattva, and tricked Pig into returning to the fire cloud cave on No.1 Mountain.
Looking around, I can't see the reinforcements that Bajie moved in. The Monkey King endured the pain and found that Bajie had been cheated, so he had to go to the South China Sea himself.

In the latter chapter, "Great Sage worships the South China Sea diligently, and Guanyin charity binds Hon Hai", it is said that on Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea, Guanyin Bodhisattva learned that Hon Hai had become her appearance, cheated Bajie, and threw the water bottle in her hand into the center of the sea, which was full of nectar and water from all corners of the country, completely destroying Samadhi's prestige.
Reading through the original Journey to the West is not the first time to talk about the Guanyin Bodhisattva Dojo in Putuo Mountain, South China Sea.
The list in the Queen Mother's Flat Peach Banquet is: Guanyin in Antarctica; The list of gods includes: Guanyin Bodhisattva, inspired by the great compassion of Luojiashan in Putuo, South China Sea; Tathagata praised him at the Magnolia Pot Law Meeting: the pure bottle of nectar is flourishing every year, and the weeping willows are inserted obliquely. Solving eight difficulties, living in groups, showing great kindness and compassion, so the town is too mountain, living in the South China Sea, saving the suffering and seeking sound, as the saying goes, doing everything possible, all the spirits.
Even the Monkey King, who was suppressed by the Tathagata at the foot of Wuzhishan, heard the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and immediately came to the spirit, thanking the South China Sea Putuo Luoluo Mountain for its poverty alleviation and mercy.

On the Internet, some readers leave messages to ask questions. Guanyin Bodhisattva is called "Nanhai Guanyin". Is her Dojo in the South China Sea?
There is a detail in Chapter 26 of The Journey to the West's original work, "Three Islands in the Monkey King and Living Trees in Guanyin Ganquan": When the Monkey King overthrew the ginseng fruit tree in Yuandaxian, the ancestral town of Xian Di, he first came to Penglai Xiandao and asked Fu Lushou Samsung to heal the fruit tree; The second time, I went to the abbot Xianshan and asked Donghua Dijun to return Jiuzhuan Taiyi to Dan. The third place went to Yingzhou Island, and I invited nine old people from Yingzhou to help me heal trees.
But the ginseng fruit tree is the spiritual root of heaven and earth, and all immortals are helpless. The Monkey King had to leave Yingzhou in a hurry, turned to the East China Sea and saw Mount Luojia in Putuo.
"The main city of the sea is rich in spirit and sees endless wonders. You have to know that it is a thousand miles away, and you can do your best. "
From the above description, the Dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva is not in the South China Sea, but obviously in the East China Sea! So why do people call Guanyin Bodhisattva "Nanhai Guanyin"?

Combining literary works with folk myths and legends, we find that there are several statements:
First, Sima Qian's Historical Records-Biography of Qin Shihuang recorded: "Going to court, offering sacrifices to Dayu, looking at the South China Sea", which was called "South China Sea" in ancient times.
Second, most of the emperors in China's Ninth Five-Year Plan established their capitals in Beijing, taking pride in facing south, and used to call the South China Sea "the South China Sea".
Thirdly, Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea and its title were put forward by Ruzhi and Yishan, the eminent monks of Putuo Mountain in the early Yuan Dynasty.
It is recorded in the ancient book "Continuing the History as a Mirror" that in A.D. 1284, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty sent Wang Jiweng to Japan, and ordered a monk from Putuo Mountain to enter the country with wisdom. If known, the monk suggested that Guanyin should follow the name of the ancient Tianzhu and be renamed Nanhai Guanyin, and Putuo Mountain should be renamed Nanhai Putuo Mountain and Guanyin Dojo.

1March 299, Yuan Chengzong issued another imperial edict, ordering Putuo Mountain and Shangyishan to be sent to Japan as the host of Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea. Yishan believes that since the imperial court values the relationship between Japanese monks who refuse to go to Guanyin, it should tell the Japanese that staying in Guanyin is the Guanyin Dojo and Japan will be encouraged.
"But the name of Mount Putuo is not closely related to the name of Bodhisattva, which is not easy for foreigners to understand. It should be renamed Putuo Mountain in Nanhai according to the name of Guanyin in Nanhai. "
The trip to one mountain preaches that refusing to go to Guanyin and Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang is the origin of Guanyin Bodhisattva Dojo, which is highly praised by the Japanese government and Buddhist circles. This time, he not only spread the name of Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea to Japan, but also resumed the diplomatic relations between China and Japan, which were interrupted at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, and made great contributions.
As a result, the names of Luojiashan, Nanhai and Guanyin in Putuo have become famous at home and abroad and have been passed down to this day!
