Your aunt said it vainly, and my aunt listened to it

"Your aunt said it in vain, and my aunt listened to it."

The popularity and recognition of ancient and modern Chinese novels is estimated to have not yet produced the right of the four famous works, not only because these four books are well written, but also because there were not many books that could be read and read strongly at that time. The four masterpieces have spread out in the land of China and slowly become a common topic that cannot be abandoned by generations of Chinese, so there have been a large number of experts and scholars who have commented on and studied the four masterpieces from generation to generation.

The largest number of researchers is undoubtedly the Red Chamber, which has the highest literary value and is highly respected by literati and inkers; The Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin are not to mention more, the Three Kingdoms is the first of the Four Talents Book, and the Water Margin is also loved for the sour feeling that can make the low-level people, especially the displaced people, have a sense of happiness and revenge, and even with the blessing of Jin Shengsi and other university scholars, the study of the Water Margin is also very active.

In contrast, the study of the journey to the west is the most inferior, although the general public read the journey to the west is the most relaxed and most acceptable, moreover, the journey to the west is also the only classic suitable for children to read in the four masterpieces, from the winter and summer vacation TV stations will broadcast the journey to the west as an important measure to entertain all Chinese children, which shows how much it is loved, but in the journey to the west, Sun Wukong's combat effectiveness is very different, and the monster who has long been looking forward to immortality catches the Tang monk and does not eat and other "hard wounds", so that many people doubt the literary value of the journey to the west. It is boring to study interesting journeys to the west.

However, in recent years, the study of the journey to the west seems to be gaining momentum, and the online and offline have been carefully and seriously patched for various loopholes in the journey to the west. For example, in the early stage, Sun Wukong can rampage and make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Soldier Heaven will passively wait and see the deliberate release of water, and in the later period, Sun Wukong will instigate the bodhisattva to worship the Buddha and move the troops for help.

For example, the reason why the monster caught Tang Monk and did not eat it was that the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle once said the original reason, because it was necessary to wait until tang Monk was calm and calm, and the overall steamed cooked food had the effect of making the eater live forever. For example, Bodhi Lao Zu knew that Sun Monkey would cause trouble in the future and privately gave him the douyun and the seventy-two changes, lao jun put Wukong who stole all his immortal elixir into the Bagua furnace but refined Lao Sun's body of copper and iron bones, two fire eyes and golden eyes, such as the Buddha did not kill Wukong but pressed him under the Five Elements Mountain to protect him in disguise, etc., all of which are traps for mutual checks and balances between the two families of The Buddha and Tao.

After some round-robin explanations, the loopholes in journey to the west have become mysterious clouds and fog, and the preaching sermons of The Buddha's Daozu have become premeditated digging layouts. Patch stack patches, a magic novel gradually upgraded to a very Taoist, very famous Xuanzhi xuan, and a profound and profound "underestimated" strange book.

Modern people explain the journey to the west in this way, to excuse the journey to the west, Mr. Wu Cheng'en old man has knowledge of the spring, do not know whether to be embarrassed or very relieved.

Different from the method of seeking historical and cultural materials from the Red Chamber, the Three Kingdoms, and the Water Margin, most of the methods of the researchers of the Journey to the West are how to explain the doubts in the book, how to make the awkward places in the book reasonable, and how to find the original work in the excerpts of the chapters to justify themselves.

The Journey to the West is an imaginary space that runs through the ancient and modern worlds and covers the three realms, which leaves the researchers with a sufficiently broad scale to play, so that the various interpretations of the east and west are not reasonable and can always find some truth. Some research results, such as having a son who is not like the Bull Demon King, but has an iron fan princess who has a banana fan that is quite related to Lao Jun, must have a different relationship with Lao Jun; For example, Lao Jun used Wukong to kick down the Bagua Furnace and let two fire bricks fall on West NiuheZhou to turn into a mountain of flames, which was convenient to settle a stronghold in Rulai's sphere of influence, and Rulai landed the Five Elements Mountain used to suppress Wukong on the dividing line between Nan Ganbu Zhou and West Niuhe Zhou, which was a tit-for-tat, taking the opportunity to lay a chess piece in Lao Jun's sphere of influence, etc., which is a fantastic idea.

Being elusively figured out of such a routine, should Mr. Wu Cheng'en admire the researchers or admire himself? It is estimated that the researcher will knock three times in a row on the brain shell, and then in the middle of the night, three times in the middle of the night, he will secretly teach him the spiritual dafa of "knowing the heavens, knowing the geographical advantages, and moving the stars for fighting".

But Journey to the West is a magic novel, you can make it up, you have to allow me to pull. No, as long as you pull the head of the Tao, even if you pull out a hundred and eighteen thousand miles, there will be readers who will read it with relish. Moreover, these baking cattle qi runs straight through the thirty-three layers of heaven to solve doubts and puzzles, deconstruct the classics also soothe the mind, and constantly enrich the connotation of the journey to the west, expand the extension of the journey to the west, infinitely expand the illusory universe of the journey to the west, and provide rich and multi-dimensional and diversified nourishment for the long-term prosperity of online novels, online games, and magic films and televisions with the journey to the west as the original material. At least in cyberspace, the Journey to the West world has become more and more bizarre, and has seized the limelight of the Red Chamber, the Three Kingdoms, and the Water Margin.

How to fill in the "emptiness" of the immortal monster is difficult to say right or wrong, your aunt said it, my aunt listened to it, air-to-air, the most relaxed, the more you pull the more you can laugh, the more you can feel the idle cloud outside the pressure of life. There is no way, in the mass entertainment to the death of the just need, the journey to the west is more likely to be reduced to a platform for nonsense. I believe that no matter how far we pull, we will definitely be able to go as far as we go!
