Talk about the Zen machine contained in the true and false Monkey King in "Journey to the West".
Wu Cheng'en's Journey to the West is the first romantic Zhang Hui body long divine and demonic novel in ancient China, and the prototype of this novel is the story of Tang Sanzang's Western Heavenly Scriptures.
This novel covers the three major ideas of Confucianism, Interpretation, and Taoism, and contains the philosophy in the novel.
For example, when Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, he was mighty and defeated by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, but he could not defeat the demons and ghosts on the way to learn the scriptures, which implied that the people in the system were just errand boys, and there was no need to fight with Sun Wukong to fight for your life, and the people who were responsible for their own profits and losses were for livelihood, and the battle between Sun Wukong and Sun Wukong was a life-and-death struggle.
For example, the fan of the iron fan princess can both ignite and extinguish fires, and is hidden under the tongue, and the meaning behind this is that the tongue is stirring things that are not inflammatory, and can both ignite and extinguish fires.
After this novel spread to the West, foreigners read "Journey to the West" and thought that it contained the theory of relativity, because the book said that there was a day in heaven and a year on earth.
Lao Wai also believes that "Journey to the West" contains cloning technology, because Sun Wukong can change tens of millions of Monkey King by pulling out a monkey hair, which is actually cloning technology.
In addition to these different interpretations, there are more Zen machines in "Journey to the West", of which the true and false Monkey King's Zen machines here are the most difficult to read.
The true and false Monkey King said that after Sun Wukong was driven away by the Tang monks, the six-eared macaque took the opportunity to pretend to be Sun Wukong and wanted to replace the Tang monks to learn the scriptures, this story is the most difficult to understand in this novel.
The six-eared macaque can be described as miraculous, and in addition to Rulai and Zhen listening, even Guanyin and Zhaoyi mirrors cannot be recognized.
Let's say the difference between Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque:
The True Beauty Monkey King is a Lingming Stone Monkey, which changes through changes, knows the sky, knows the land, and moves the stars for fighting.
The false monkey king is a six-eared macaque, good at listening, able to detect, know before and after, and all things are clear.
Sun Wukong and the six-eared macaque are fighting for which is "true" and which is "false", unfortunately, "true" and "false" are just a name, they are fighting for their own "name", not for their own "body", "body" is false, "name" is right, because "name" is right, it doesn't really matter who the body is.
This is very similar to the story of the Iron Mask man in Western history, the twin brothers compete for the throne, they want a name, the name is contested, and the body is natural. Therefore, it is no longer important whether it is true or false, because the name is there, and the false is also true.
Therefore, even if Sun Wukong knows that the other party is fake, he can't say why the other party is fake, Sun Wukong only knows to say "I am real, you are fake", but can not say "I am a Lingming stone monkey, you are a six-eared macaque", this Zen machine is easy to understand.
Why the six-eared macaque is exactly the same as Sun Wukong is also explained in the story, it is because the six-eared macaque is actually the other side of Sun Wukong, equivalent to a mirrored Sun Wukong, a shadow.
He is Sun Wukong's inner demon, so he is not only equal to Sun Wukong's strength, but also the same weapons and equipment, he only has one, so this is also easy to understand, the struggle between them is actually the battle between the angel side of their own body and the devil side.
After Sun Wukong killed the six-eared macaque, he did not see the corpse of the six-eared macaque, because he overcame the evil thoughts in his heart and truly became a reborn Buddhist disciple.
Evil thoughts are only things that exist in the mind, not an entity, so after they are destroyed, there is no corpse, and this Zen machine can also understand.
But there is something difficult to justify it, since the six-eared macaque is the demonic thought born from Sun Wukong's real name, it is the mirror image of Sun Wukong himself, it is nothing, but it is himself, so why did Rulai say at the beginning that the Lingming stone monkey and the six-eared macaque monkey are two different monkeys? It is also said that the six-eared macaque is good at listening, can detect, knows before and after, and everything is clear.
Since it is the evil thoughts derived from Sun Wukong's heart, why can it still be good at hearing, being able to detect, knowing before and after, and everything is clear, which is difficult to understand.
How do you think you should understand the zen machine of the true and false Monkey King?
