When the Monkey King went to Cuiyun Mountain, he asked the woodcutter for firewood: "There is an iron fan fairy's banana cave. Where is it? " The woodcutter said with a smile, "Although there is an iron fan fairy in this banana cave, there is only one iron fan princess, also called a rogue."
Why does Rogue call herself a princess? If Princess Iron Fan is a rogue's own reputation, then there are dozens of famous fairies in Journey to the West. I've never seen a princess claim to be. White is called lady bone, not princess bone, and thorn apricot essence calls itself apricot fairy, not princess red apricot. It can be seen that there must be a reason for the title of princess in Grand Theft Auto. Either she was a princess of some country before she got the word, or she became a princess after she got the word.
This rascal is definitely not the daughter of the Jade Emperor. Is it the daughter of the king of heaven? You can be sure it's not. The Monkey King is a famous "underground ghost". No matter who the owner of the goblin is, he will definitely catch up with the door. Don't you see that the white-haired mousetrap is only the adopted daughter of King Tota, and Li Tianwang was entangled in the Monkey King, so he didn't help. If this rogue is the daughter of the King of Heaven (whether it is a real daughter or a goddaughter), her father would have been troubled by the Monkey King to help exorcise the evil spirits. Besides, in The Journey to the West, Niu Yi's family has no connection with the sky.
Therefore, the rogue must be a real princess of a certain country.
So which country is the princess from? In which dynasty did you become an immortal?
First of all, Princess Tiefan married Niu Wangmo, and it must be after the Monkey King made a scene in heaven. During the Great Sage of Qitian, their seven brothers got together. The eldest brother was Niu Wangmo, who was called "Great Sage of Pingtian". "Talking about martial arts every day, preaching with a cup, playing string songs and dancing, all ended in discord." If the old cow is married, where can she have such leisure time to play with a group of friends? For a long time, I have been busy with my career. After watching the battle between Niu Wangmo and the Monkey King in full swing, I suddenly stopped and hurried to the banquet of the Old Dragon King in Bibotan. Just like people nowadays, when they are directors and directors, they can't shirk their entertainment. Even if I had a fight here, I would go to the party if a phone call came. When the old cow was fooling around with the Monkey King in the grass, she is now developed and has a private senior driver.
(There are also levels for immortals to ride. Pu Xian rides a white elephant, Manjusri rides nine lions, and Guanyin Bodhisattva is a daughter's home, driving a delicate golden hair roar. In Li Bai's poems, it is imagined that immortals are either riding qingluan or driving white scorpions, just as we now think that rich people are driving Mercedes-Benz BMWs. It is certain that the old cow does not have this golden-eyed beast. If your classmate drives a Ferrari, are you greedy? With the Monkey King's character, seeing such an advanced sports car, he must have run to the Dragon Palace and asked for a lift. "If you have a good car here, give me one." If the old dragon king dares to dodge, "if there is no such thing, I will try this iron with you!" " )
Besides, if Niu Wangmo was married at that time, why didn't the Monkey King know the eldest sister-in-law?
Second, did this princess with iron fan marry Niu Wangmo after becoming immortal, or did she become immortal after marriage? As we all know, after becoming an immortal, you will live forever and remain young forever. In other words, the age after the body becomes immortal is always the age at the moment of becoming immortal. From Liaozhai, we can see that the female ghost who has been dead for decades is still as young and beautiful as then. From the Journey to the West, we can see that Princess Tiefan dressed as a man when she appeared in the mirror, so we can see that Princess Tiefan became a fairy after marriage. And when Hong Haier appeared, he was still six or seven years old, so this NianLia was a fairy made in those years. Imagine that the situation at that time was probably similar to that in Liu An. The old cow didn't use any means. Where did he get the elixir? He made it himself and gave it to his wife and son. Turns out to be Princess Iron Fan and Hong Haier.
In the war between The Journey to the West and Hong Haier, the mountain god in Huoyundong told the Monkey King that Hong Haier was raised by a thief, the son of a cow. I have been practicing in the Flame Mountain for 300 years, and I have been refined into "Samadhi True Fire". This is 300 years, or a part of it. Maybe Hon Hai has only practiced for more than 200 years, but we can't say for sure, even if it is about 300 or 50 years.
In that case, this time is easy to forget. When The Journey to the West made a scene in the Heavenly Palace, he made it very clear that "when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, this mountain fell from the sky and a monkey fell down", which was in the year of 8 AD. Niu Wangmo must meet Princess Tiefan after this, and then get married and have children. During the reign of Zhenguan (627-649 AD), "Three days before the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong sent the Tang Priest out of the city" and traveled westward for fourteen years. The battle with Hong Haier in Journey to the West is the 40th time. Apart from the introduction of the Monkey King's background and Tang Priest's life in the first ten times, it can be seen that one third of Tang Priest's mentor and pupil left Xitian Road when they met Hong Haier, and it took less than five years to count as eighteen changes in Zhenguan. Therefore, the time of Hong Haier's enlightenment, that is to say, the time of Princess Tiefan's enlightenment, was 50 years before and after 344 AD, that is, between 294 AD and 394 AD.
With this specific time range, we can find out the true identity of Princess Tiefan in history.
Before answering the true identity of Princess Iron Fan, there is another question, that is, what is the background of Niu Wangmo's predecessor? There are also several famous cows in the mythological history of China. Niu Wangmo is definitely not the old man's green cow. Journey to the West also appeared after this green cow. Is that a yellow colorful cow? Or the cowherd's old cow? Later, Huang named Mount Tai as the Great Qi Rensheng in Dongyue, and the ending of the sacred cow was not introduced in the romance of sealing the gods. As for Cowherd's old cow, it was carried to the sky after Cowherd's death, and it has nothing to do with Niuwangmo.
Let's put the question of Niu Wangmo aside and continue to investigate the real identity of Princess Iron Fan.
As mentioned earlier, Princess Tiefan was a real princess of a monarch, and her time of enlightenment was between 294 and 394 AD. According to the rigor of ancient historians in China, a princess must have a record of becoming a monk, and there will be no omissions. During 294-394 AD, it was the Jin Dynasty, from Hui Di in the west to Emperor Xiaowu in the east.
Brothers searched for history books here and read Search for Ji Shen, Biography of Immortals and Biography of Bhikuni. Although there are several records of princesses becoming immortals, such as their daughters, Fu Cha's, Wu's and Suiyang's, their stories are not consistent. Some princesses have also become monks. For example, Princess Youlian is the daughter of Liang Wudi and one of the four disciples of Dharma. Princess Yongtai, the daughter of the Northern Wei and Yuan Dynasties, became a monk in Songshan, Zhongyue, and Princess Nanyang, the daughter of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the timing was not right. In addition, Shen Guofei, her daughter and Song Zhenzong's sister, cut her hair, and at the same time promoted "Migongyi, Princess Wannian, and more than 30 people, including Cao, Wang Nvhui and Lord Anxian, all of whom became monks". Although it was a sensation, it was even worse in time.
Just as the two brothers were at their wits' end, who knows, "There is another village in the dark in no way back", a obscure historical record attracted my attention. According to Zi Jian, "In the 18th year of Jianyuan (AD 382), in September, the King of Qin insisted on taking generals as envoys to unify all the military forces in the western regions, and together with generals, Du Jin and Kang Sheng, he conquered the western regions with a total of 100,000 troops and 5,000 fighters." Before leaving, Fu Jian said to Lv Guang, "I am deeply impressed to hear that Kumarajiva, a state-owned enterprise in the west, is a master of later learning. Tessa, the treasure of the country, if you are kind, you can send it later. "
This Kumarajiva was originally the son of an Indian Brahmin and later converted to Buddhism. He once lived in Kucha (now Kuqa, Xinjiang), one of the western kingdoms. His father's name is Ku Mo Yan, and his ancestors originally came from India. They have lived in the same country for generations, and at the same time they became monks, went east to Qingji and arrived in Qiuci. King Qiuci heard that he abandoned his wealth and became a monk. He admired him very much and personally greeted him in the suburbs, honoring him as a Buddhist. King Qiuci has a sister who is twenty years old. She is so clever that she can recite it after reading it. When she saw Mo Yan, the pigeon, she loved her. When King Qiuci learned about this, he forced Yan to marry his younger sister, and after marriage, he gave birth to Roche. Kumarajiva later married a local princess who became a monk; At that time, the Western Regions did not strictly abide by the celibacy system of monks, so Kumarajiva also gave birth to a child.
Seeing this, my brother suddenly realized. When the truth comes out, everything will come out. Obviously, this "kumarajiva" is a transliteration of Sanskrit Kumorajiva, "Kuma" is a surname and "Rush" is a first name. Read Cuomo and Niumo. Are their pronunciations similar? Are there Rush and Ricardo Roberto Barreto da Rocha, too? Ha ha. It turns out that this rogue princess is the Princess of Qiuci who married Kumarajiva. Because she is Lin's daughter-in-law, she calls herself Lin's daughter. The transliteration of the Central Plains is different, so she is called "rogue". Considering that "Luo Cha" is the name of the western ghost country, its citizens are ugly and fierce, while Princess Tiefan is demure, gentle and generous, how can she call herself a "rogue"? There are good examples of this article so far, such as President Bush in the United States, translated as "Bush" in mainland China and "Bush" in Hong Kong. The princess of Qiuci may be called "Tieshan" or "Tisha" or something. Qiuci is very close to the Flame Mountain. There are hints in The Journey to the West that Hong Haier is practicing in the Flame Mountain. I think it's actually in Qiuci. Hong Haier was so weak at that time that Princess Iron Fan must take care of her. This place is very hot. Princess Iron Fan often fanned her children with a big banana fan, and she was fanned.
Cattle, on the other hand, evolved from nature. Up to now, Indians regard cows as sacred objects and regard them as the most sacred and inviolable animals in the region. Kumarajiva originally believed in Hinduism, and there must be many ornaments symbolized by cows around him. Maybe he wore a bull mask all day to correct his mistakes, and later he was called "Niu Wangmo".
Later, in 40 1 year, that is, the third year of the reign of the last emperor Hong, Yao Xing took him from Chang 'an and was honored as a Buddhist teacher. He often gave lectures to 3,000 disciples, including Yao Xing, king of the late Qin Dynasty, in Xiaoyao Garden. Kumarajiva is famous for his Buddha statue, and people often come to Chang 'an from thousands of miles away to listen to his lectures. It is estimated that on the day of the altar opening, the street was crowded. Zhang San asked, "Why are you going?" Li Si replied, "Listen to King Cuomo." This painting was passed on to Wang Wu, and Wang Wu told Liu Ma that this painting became "Niu Wangmo" after it was handed down.
As for why Hong Haier has such a nickname, it may be that Qiuci is too hot and children's skin will turn red in summer. There is another possibility. In memory of Mo Yan, his father's pigeon, Kumarajiva used fire as the mascot and red as the auspicious color, and wrapped little Kumarajiva in red cloth all day, so he got the nickname "Hong Haier". It's also interesting to see Hong Haier's name. Are King El Nino and El Nino Buddhist? The more obvious it is.
Finally, the truth came out. This "Niu Wangmo" is the person who married Princess Qiuci "Iron Fan" in Kumarajiva in 382 AD. A few years later, she gave birth to a child, Hong Haier. After 67 years, Kumarajiva refined the "elixir of life" or the "elixir" given to him by General Lv Guang. Princess "Iron Fan" and mother "Hong Haier" were taken together. Look at the later history books, Kumarajiva went to Hou Liang and the later Qin Dynasty to preach, and there is no record of their mother.
