What's the legend of Ha Numan the Monkey?
As one of the most important characters in the ancient epic Ramayana, Ha Numan the Monkey is portrayed as a hero in Indian mythology. The stone "bust of monkey Ha Numan" in Indian National Museum preserves the upper body of monkey Ha Numan. The original image is estimated to be close to life size, and it may have been enshrined in a temple dedicated to Ha Numan. He raised his right hand and placed it on the third crown. According to the assistant deputy director of the Indian Archaeological Bureau, this gesture symbolizes educating people. According to the information provided by National Cultural Heritage Administration, the prototype of the Monkey King in China's classic The Journey to the West is the monkey Ha Numan in Indian mythology. Hanuman is the most important figure in the ancient Indian epic Ramayana. It is said that he has supernatural ability and is good at eliminating danger. The worship of Hanuman can be traced back to the Gupta era in the 4th century, more than 1000 years before the appearance of the Monkey King in The Journey to the West. For a long time, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Monkey King's life experience is as superb as his golden hoop. Everyone seems to accept the plot in the novel and TV series. the Monkey King is a monkey jumping out of a crack in the stone. But in academic circles, there is indeed a saying that the Monkey King's prototype is Hanuman, an Indian monkey. Moreover, for a long time, the academic research on the Monkey King's prototype has been classified into different categories, with different theories. According to legend, Ha Numan the monkey has made great contributions to the Indian people's anti-violence and peace, so he is regarded as a god and respected. According to textual research, Wu Cheng'en's The Journey to the West is based on the Records of the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty, which is a memoir written by Xuanzang, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, after he traveled to India. Naturally, then, the image of the Monkey King originated from Ha Numan, an Indian monkey. Unlike China, the Indian monkey god does not only appear in novels and plays, but is a part of people's daily life. Long-tailed langurs can be found in the garden in the morning, on the roof at dusk, on busy roads, and even in hawker markets. They are everywhere, have no fixed place to live, come and go without a trace, which is fascinating. Hanuman, a monkey, is an Indian mythical figure, from Ramayana, the most famous long poem in the history of Indian and even world literature. Ha Numan, the God Monkey, is the son of Fengshen, and has been demoted as a monkey singer in the Heavenly Palace. When he was born, he was so powerful that even Indra, the king of the gods, could not compare with him. Later, Brahma, one of the three main gods, accepted him as a teacher and became a supreme feat. He ate the powder of the Dragon Ball and became immortal, with a stick as his weapon. In order to help Prince Rama rescue his wife, Sido, the beauty of the earth, and Monkey King, the top ten demon kings on Lengga Island in Ha Numan, he commanded the monkey soldiers and monkeys. With the help of the gods, he helped Prince Rama finally defeat Lavana. Robona preached Brahma, and no god or devil can kill him, only mortals can. Therefore, Vishnu, the protector, enslaved himself as Prince Rama and came down to kill the devil. After this war, Ha Numan got Brahma as matchmaker, married a beautiful lotus fairy, and gave birth to a man and a woman. Like Ha Numan, his son is a magical monkey and his weapon is a stick. The daughter inherited her mother's beauty and was cared for by the moon goddess since she was a child. She is a beautiful goddess, but she is as brave as her father and brother. Later, Vishnu went down to earth to get rid of the tyrant on the earth, and Ha Numan the monkey got instructions from Brahma and became a monk again. But this is sometimes another matter.
