abstract
In the world of the Romance of Gods, the world is divided into fairy mountain, abode of fairies and immortals and three realms. Fairy Mountain Cave is a kind of "Buddhism interpretation" in Kunlun Mountain, which is composed of immortal Taoism, and it is a "Buddha-cutting" composed of overseas immortals, foreign magicians or animals who have gained enlightenment. The Three Realms are the paradise ruled by the Jade Emperor, the mortal world ruled by Shang Zhouwang and the demon world ruled by Nu Wa. During a sacrifice, Zhou Wang made a rude gesture towards the beautiful mother of the earth, Nu Wa. Nu Wa was very angry at Zhou Wang's blasphemy, and ordered the three demons in Xuanyuan Tomb-Millennium Fox, Jade Pipa Essence and Nine-headed Pheasant Essence to confuse Zhou Wang and destroy the Shang Dynasty. The fox used the body of Su Daji, the daughter of Hou Su in Jizhou, to enter the harem, confusing Zhou Wang. From then on, the nine-headed pheasant claimed to be da ji's righteous sister "Hu" and entered the DPRK. Jade pipa essence was first seen by Jiang Ziya and forced back to its original shape by Samadhi, and then resurrected as a noble king, which brought disaster to Chaogang together with two other demons.
The immortal Taoist temple in Kunlun Mountain was killed and punished for committing the crime of world of mortals, and because the Jade Emperor ordered twelve immortals as his subjects, the immortal naturally refused. So, the three religions of Sakyamuni, Interception and Humanism signed an oath, sealed the list of gods and compiled 365 positive gods. * * * is divided into eight parts, and the last four are: thunder, fire, plague and battle; The next four parts: stars in the night, three mountains and five mountains, rain clouds, the god of good and evil. Those with low morals are all on the list. Zhou Wang and King Wu are opposites, that is, the struggle between the country and the world and the argument between immortals and Taoists.
Who is the author of The Love of Gods? There are always different opinions.
One is for Xu.
According to the second volume of "Romance of the Gods", which was printed by Yang, it was edited by Xu from Zhongshan. The Cabinet Library of Japan has only one book in Ming Dynasty, and only the second volume has the title. At the beginning of this volume, there is a preface written by Li Yunxiang of Hanjiang River. The preface says: Yu You Chongfu Shu bought a copy of Shen Feng from Chu, and Mr. Zhong Bojing reviewed it. He hasn't finished his career yet, but he has entrusted it to. I deserve to continue mink, delete its absurdity and remove its vulgarity. Every time I come back, I write the product of loyalty and chivalry with positive words, negative words or ridiculous words. My treachery is stubborn and arouses the ears of the whole world. Therefore, this book was originally written by Xu, and was later added, deleted and engraved. Xu is a native of Yingtianfu, South Zhili, and the whole story is unknown.
The second one was written by Lu Xixing.
According to the records in the Biography of Shun Shi Tian, Volume 7 of The Legend of the Qing Dynasty, the Biography of Shen Feng is said to have been written by Lu Changgeng, a Taoist priest in the Yuan Dynasty. Unknown? Zhang believes that the author of the Romance of the Gods is Lu Xixing, and the History of the Yuan Dynasty is a misinformation. Lu Changgeng, whose name is Xixing, was born in Xinghua County, Yangzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty. He was born in/kloc-the late 6th century. Lu Zhongyuan's Preface of Words says that Xixing's "learning from all his disciples will bring disaster to Ajia" has a certain rebellious spirit. Because "nine attempts failed, he abandoned Confucianism as Huang Guan".
Shi Ming Youwei chose Poems of Guangling in Ming Dynasty in Wanli, and received 24 poems by Lv Xixing, saying that he was "born homeless". Zhang also verified that Lu Xixing was a Taoist priest after becoming a monk, so there was a Taoist priest in the Romance of the Gods, implying.
The third is Wang Shizhen.
Jiang Ruizao said in the novel Tan Zhi that Wang Yizhou wrote Jin Ping Mei, which was known to the court and presented to it. I was afraid of the state, and overnight it became a "fairy tale", one by one, and my head turned white. Jiang Ruizao's Notes on the Cloud is quoted from Notes on Missing Names. This statement is ridiculous and unbelievable.
The fourth is the Ming Jinshi.
Liang Zhangju in the Qing Dynasty wrote in Volume 7 of the Story of Returning to the Field that once upon a time there was a scholar who ran out of money and married his eldest daughter, but the second daughter was resentful. The scholar comforted him by saying, "There is no need to worry about poverty." ... into the Romance of the Gods, gave his daughter a manuscript, and then her son-in-law did it, which made great profits. Liang Zhangju is in the volume "Conversation Journey". This matter is still discussed in the Biography of the Gods, saying that this "scholar" is "the former Ming Dynasty, the lodging is also."
Among the above four theories, the first two have great influence, but the Romance of the Gods is generally published in the name of Wang Chaoxu. Lu Xixing's theory is also worthy of attention and study. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Sun Jiedi have incisive discussions on this, and Mr. Zhu also paid great attention to it in Selected Novels of Ming and Qing Dynasties.
