Why are they all taken away by God? The Journey to the West is a mythical novel reflecting the social reality of the Ming Dynasty. Wu Cheng'en used superman's imagination and fairy tales to reflect the social problems at that time, which was a dialogue to the Ming society.
First, the depraved monster was taken away by God, which fully reflected that social officials were protecting each other at that time, and the royal family and the state were doing evil by various means among the people. Finally, when they were executed, the umbrella came out.
Second, the four masters and apprentices in the Tang Dynasty went to the West to learn from the scriptures, which reflected that a serious person or family at that time had to encounter many difficulties. And when they really go to the place where they learn from the scriptures, those small officials will also say, "Is it free to learn from the scriptures?" Every time Guanyin solves a problem for his master and disciples, it shows that as long as people do something right and good, they will meet the help of good people.
Third, the Monkey King can't escape from the Tathagata's palm, but he wrote that the whole country was ruled by the feudal dynasty and could not escape. Among them, the heavenly soldiers will represent the police at that time. Wait, compared with the reality at that time. It deserves to be one of the four classical novels.
On the way to learn the scriptures, there are monsters that must be eradicated, as well as monsters that can't be killed or killed. In fact, they come from various interest groups, and the latter will definitely be taken away by God.
This world is not a simple black-and-white world. For example, monsters such as Bai and Spider Essence who want to eat the meat of Tang monks, four saints who meditate hard, and ordinary humans such as the Queen of the Daughter Country, which is a country made up of human beings, although strange. Therefore, in the face of the forces that hinder the scriptures, we must never simply kill, kill, kill!
The stars in the sky, the mounts of immortals and big coffees, children, pets and so on. , and even be given or bound by their own purposes. They are often fearless in the face of Wukong and others, and they have super magic weapons, which has become the most insurmountable obstacle for the Buddhist team.
There are a small number of monsters, because of their superior ability, which are collected by the celestial world, and the celestial world also needs talent! For example, the Niu family: the cow was taken back by the Tathagata (Nezha surrendered the cow to the Tathagata), Hon Hai 'er was accepted as a boy's good fortune by Guanyin, and the rogue princess's iron fan "got the right result later, leaving a name in Tibet forever", and the black bear essence was taken back by Guanyin as a mountain protector.
There are special circumstances: Dapeng Jing, the uncle of the Tathagata, has also made extraordinary contributions and was incorporated by the Tathagata (please return it).
Because of this, some people say that it is mostly a formality to learn from the eighty-one difficulties, and there is no real danger. In fact, on the other hand, it can be said that the existence of these "monsters" has increased the difficulty of Wukong's action and put forward higher requirements, often: you have to fight, kill, or even worse! So, sometimes it actually increases the risk! Because the fake play is to be done! We can't say anything yet, we can only reach a tacit understanding in action and say nothing! This is also the reason why Wukong often has to ask around and find out in many ways before he can start work. It is also the reason why Bajie and Friar Sand have been pushing Wukong ahead and never make a move unless they have to!
Hello, I'm innocent cz, a questioner who focuses on the entertainment field. I'm glad to answer your question.
Journey to the West, a big TV series we grew up watching, in which playing monsters can be said to be one of our favorite plots. When we pondered it carefully later, we found that the story of Journey to the West told us that monsters with backgrounds were finally taken away by their owners, and those without backgrounds were killed! "The monsters with background have been taken away, and the monsters without background have been killed by disorderly sticks", so this sentence has become a popular mockery of Journey to the West on the Internet.
In all fairness, the survival rate of monsters with "background" is indeed higher than that without "background", but this is not absolute. First of all, we should change the traditional classification. The monsters in Journey to the West cannot be simply divided into "background" and "no background". In terms of relationship, the monsters in Journey to the West should be divided into three types: those with no background at all, those with certain background and those with real background (that is, some immortals or mounts descended to earth). The first and third monsters are easy to understand, and we often see such a classification. But the relationship between the second kind of monsters is easily overlooked. For example, Niu Wangmo in the period of the Flame Mountain did not have any position in the heaven and the Buddha, but his son Hong Haier worked under Guanyin, belonging to the second kind of monster. The companion of the fox in the kingdom of monks is the mount of the birthday boy, which also belongs to the second category.
Look at the fate of several monsters:
1. Two children are in Huang Paoguai. Accurately speaking, these two children are not monsters. After all, their father is a fairy in the sky, and their mother is a princess on earth, and there is no monster lineage. It's just that his father was a monster when he gave birth to them. Call it a monster. These two "monsters", their father is a senior fairy in the sky and their mother is a princess on earth. Is the background hard enough? Unfortunately, Bajie and Friar Sand were ruthlessly killed. To say that these two children are quite innocent, there is basically no possibility of committing crimes. The only guess is that the possible crime is probably eating a few pieces of human flesh that my father got from somewhere.
2. Seven lions such as the yellow lion. Many people will think that these seven lions are monsters with no background, but they are not. Their dry grandfathers, Jiu Ling and Sheng Yuan, have a much higher position in Taoism than ordinary little gods. In the Taoist temple, he must recite his name in the morning class, save the bitter classics, save the bitter confessions, offer sacrifices to the sacred instrument, cross the Dojo and cross the blood lake, so the Seven Lions should also belong to the "background" monster. And all seven monsters are dead.
3. There is no doubt that Black Bear Essence, Hong Haier and Centipede Essence have no background (Uncle Hong Haier barely has an official background, but Hong Haier himself denies it). But they were not killed by "disorderly sticks", but only entered the system.
4. Ruyi Xian Zhen and nine head worm are monsters with certain backgrounds, because his nephew Hon Hai 'er is already in the system. It is not clear which category nine head worm should belong to. If the dragon king of Bibotan is an official seal, then the dragon king family of Bibotan is a monster who was killed by a disorderly stick with a background, otherwise nine head worm is a monster without any background at all. In short, they were not killed by "disorderly sticks", but fled and finally saved their lives.
The conclusion is that monsters with background are indeed easier to survive than monsters without background, but it is not absolute. No matter how hard the relationship is, it's no use being a pustule yourself. On the contrary, even if you don't have a strong background, you may be hired if you have the ability. That is, the background can't decide everything.
The highlight of the Journey to the West is that the Monkey King fights all kinds of monsters, such as "Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon", "The Three Monsters who were late for the country", "King Jinjiao, King Yinjiao" and so on! Among them, the monster's ending is mainly divided into the following categories:
1, killed on the spot, such as "Bai", "leopard essence" and "rhinoceros essence" were basically killed on the spot, and both Yuan and Shen were destroyed;
2. Being taken away by the gods has many classifications. The most typical ones are "Black Bear Spirit" and "Hon Hai Er", both of whom have been promoted to "Heaven Civil Servants" around Bodhisattva, and their future is bright.
3, continue to be king, this is rare, the most typical one is the cow, Niu Lao is really an anomaly in the three realms of "God-man".
This is the three destinations of many monsters in Journey to the West, especially the second one. Isn't it strange that the fairy leads the monster directly to the sky?
In fact, it is not surprising to read Journey to the West carefully, because for a long time we have ignored the fact that monsters are immortals and immortals are monsters. The only difference between them is the establishment of a civil servant in heaven!
Some friends may say that immortals are cultivated by people, but monsters are different. Monsters are generally cultivated by animals other than people, such as some wild animals like lions, tigers, leopards and wolves. Is that really the case? Look at the 28 star officials in the sky. Is this a serious fairy? But look at their names. They are Jiaoliang, Kang Jinlong, Nyctereute, Fangri Rabbit, Xinyue Fox, Tail Fire Tiger and Baishui Leopard. Obviously, although these astrologers are immortals, they are all cultivated by animals! So, you see, immortals and monsters are not really distinguished by what they practice to become gods!
Then maybe some friends will ask, monsters are cruel and terrible. They kill people and eat people! So immortals don't eat people? They also eat, not only eating people but also eating "gods". For example, in the Twenty-eight Star Officials just mentioned, there was a guy named "Kuimu Wolf", that is, Huang Paoguai in The Journey to the West, who robbed the treasure elephant princess. Is this guy a serious fairy? When he left the world, he began to eat people, and then he went to heaven without any punishment. What does this mean?
Some people may say that "Kuimu Wolf" is a wild wolf, and it is normal to eat people! Let me give you an example. King Jinjiao and King Yinjiao are the sons of an old gentleman. They are not bred by animals, are they? They are cultivated into gods, but you see that they still eat people after the lower bound! Therefore, eating or not eating people is not the condition to distinguish between immortals and monsters.
What really distinguishes the fairy from the monster is the establishment-the establishment of civil servants in heaven!
Therefore, monsters can become immortals, and immortals can also become monsters. Friar Sand was originally a confined general of heaven, a proper senior civil servant of heaven, but after being laid down on earth, he immediately became a monster in the river. What does this mean? Monsters and immortals rely on weaving, and Friar Sand has weaving. He is a general of shutter, and he is a river demon who eats people without preparation!
This explains why so many monsters have been taken away by the gods, because they are recruiting for their "immortal civil servants". For example, Guanyin Bodhisattva took a fancy to Hon Hai 'er and Black Bear Essence and immediately accepted them as subordinates. Many hands make light work! Of course, there is another kind, that is, those monsters are originally the subordinates of the gods. I don't know why I was sent to earth for a certain purpose, and I continued to be a civil servant in heaven after the final task was completed, such as the mount of the old gentleman in Taishang, the mount of the real person in Taiyi, and the pet Dapeng bird of Buddha.
Do you think there are other reasons? Welcome to point out the maze in the comments section, right?
"The world is made up of various contradictions. Even if you haven't studied philosophy, you can understand it in life. The author of Journey to the West wants to express the sense of contradiction in life. "
The Journey to the West is a folk story myth, which was compiled by Wu Cheng'en in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
Wu Cheng'en failed in the imperial examination all his life, so he had to make a living by teaching. He lived in the lower class for a long time and had a deep understanding of the corruption of the Ming Dynasty officialdom.
Therefore, The Journey to the West has both fairy tale plots and social satire elements.
In the Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang learned the scriptures, and monsters kept appearing along the way. More seriously, in the lion camel country, Dapeng Eagle King openly embezzled the human kingdom, but no one dared to take care of it, and the heaven turned a blind eye. Isn't it clear that monsters and immortals are birds of a feather?
In fact, these monsters are allowed to commit crimes by heaven, which symbolizes the secret service agencies such as Dongchang Wei Jinyi of the Ming government.
In Journey to the West, many people were killed by monsters and went to the underworld to complain, while Yan was good friends with monsters, eating and drinking.
Isn't this blatant irony that Ming officials collude with evil forces?
In Chechi Kingdom, the land king trusted the Three Demons and Taoists and practiced the elixir of life, which was obviously a satire on Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty.
In Wuji country, the king fell ill and sent eunuchs for medical treatment. The Monkey King played a trick on Pig Bajie, deliberately tore off the placard and hid it in Pig Bajie's sleeve. The eunuch found Bajie and wanted to take him to the palace for treatment. Bajie satirized the eunuchs' imbalance of yin and yang, which in essence satirized the eunuchs' power imbalance in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
The Journey to the West is not only a fairy tale, but also a reflection of human beings. It satirizes the ugliness of Ming society and praises the Monkey King and other upright fighters.
I could have walked to Leidayin Temple in full view, but Tathagata and Guanyin knew that human nature was easy to get and would not cherish anything too much, so they agreed to let the Buddhist scriptures go to eighty-one difficulty. The Monkey King is also alarmist. In fact, there were six guards guarding the Tang Priest all the way, fighting this demon and that demon in the bureau. In fact, they are all arranged to embarrass the five apprentices. After the embarrassment, I will definitely go back to where I came from. If I am really killed, my master will definitely not do anything. I'll take your drink and kill my hard-earned mount. Who will do business at a loss? So after those monsters were defeated, they were embarrassed and taken away by God. From the moment when the Black Wind Monster was taken away by Guanyin, the Monkey King should know clearly: I've been busy for a long time. What's going on, just to give you a mountain protector?
Who said that monsters with backgrounds were taken away? All the goblins without backstage were killed by Sun's stick?
In fact, even if you don't watch the original Journey to the West, just watch the TV series filmed in 1986 and you will know that this is not the case. Not all goblins with no background were killed by the Monkey King.
There are still a few he can't kill!
Those who survived and were taken away with no background: bear monster, Hong Haier.
Among the goblins who survived without background, simple and obvious examples are Black Bear Essence and Hong Haier.
These two monsters are evil. The black bear dared to steal the cassock and fought the Monkey King twice. Hong Haier almost burned the Monkey King to death, kidnapped Tang for several days, and threatened to invite Dad to eat Tang monk meat.
They have no background, one is Xiong Bi, and the other is the child of cattle and hooligans. Are self-made monsters. But even so, Wukong is bitter and Tang Sanzang is bitter. Finally, I went directly to the South China Sea and worshipped Guanyin. The forbidden black bear essence was named the guardian of Jiashan Mountain God; Hong Haier, who got the best gold hoop among the three hoops, was named Fuwa and practiced in Luojiashan.
Then watch the fight between the black bear essence and the Monkey King.
Hong Haier and the Monkey King fight, samadhi true fire almost burned the Great Sage to death:
This Hong Haier is really great. When the Tathagata took Guanyin to the land of Nanshan Buzhou to learn from the scriptures, he gave him three tight hoops and replaced them with "golden shackles". Hong Haier got the golden hoop, but it was the best of the three.
Wukong's hoop is only worn on his head, and Hong Haier's is really a pair of hands and feet on his head. This treatment!
Guanyin put a hoop on the black bear essence, and so did Wukong. At first, Pig, Friar Sand and Bai all scolded each other for their sins, and then they drank "Do you want to convert?" The other party is afraid to.
Want to come to my Buddha to accept my apprentice like this? Is it really good to coerce others into joining you, Saman? What about the agreed "compassion and compassion"?
That's beside the point. Anyway, look at Mrs. Bones. She has no background. She came out for a walk, doing nothing, but exchanged stones and toads for steamed bread for Tang Priest, and was killed by the Monkey King with a stick (killed three times? ! )。
Tiger force big fairy, Luli big beetle and Yang Lixian, who were later in China, still have certain Daoism. They can turn stone into gold, turn water into oil, call for rain, and leave their cars in the country late when the weather is good. That is to say, they cheat money, and monks are cruel to monks, but there is nothing wrong. Finally died in a gambling fight. So gambling kills people.
The three immortals, Mrs. Bone, Tiger, Deer and Sheep, are too poor to enter Guanyin's eyes at all, and when they die, they die. Wukong put them to death, which is still a merit!
The somebody else's black bear essence, Hong Haier which is not and the Monkey King dozens of rounds of war, also can't tell the outcome? Finally, please ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to clarify. These monsters will fly to eternal life, live a life like the sky, and don't have to suffer on the road.
Therefore, monsters with no background have no background, and their origins cannot be changed unless they recognize a dopted mother in michel platini. I want to practice my internal skills frequently, and I will get the message by shouting a word or two at the Monkey King who is making a scene in the sky.
Die backstage: scorpion essence
In fact, one of the goblins with background also died, and was scared to death by the bodhisattva invited by the monkey. She is the scorpion essence who seduced Tang Yan and almost lost her temper, and also the beautiful banshee who snatched Tang Yan from the king of her daughter country.
Everyone's impression is that the king of the daughter country in the 86-edition TV series is beautiful, and the banshee who took the Tang Priest away is ugly and has a dark face. In fact, the original is very beautiful, and it is obsessive-compulsive disorder without makeup.
This demon, when the enemy comes to you, the first reaction is that he is not dressed up yet!
I want to be beautiful ~ ~ ~
It is worth mentioning that I heard the Buddha talking about scriptures in Leiyin Temple.
Unfortunately, who let you offend the ultimate big BOSS Tathagata? If Tathagata pushes you and you can't stand it, you still stab him?
Therefore, sometimes it is useless to have a background, and offending the big boss is only a dead end.
Wait,
It seems that the salty pig made the first move. . .
Uh huh! ! !
Anyone who has seen Journey to the West will wonder why some monsters are taken away by God after being defeated.
In fact, this is a true portrayal of the author's living environment. In the play, in order to make it difficult for the four monks and mentors of the Tang Dynasty to get through the eighty-one difficulties and learn from the Buddha, all forces will instruct the lower bound to act as a roadblock. After being defeated, because of the background, the relationship will not be killed, but will be taken away. After being taken away, there will be a good future development, and those without background can only accept the fate of tragic death.
This is the portrayal of the author's reality. It doesn't matter, even if you make mistakes, you can survive. On the contrary, you can only accept the sad reality helplessly.
Because they all have backgrounds, those with backgrounds were taken away and those without backgrounds were killed.
