In the Chronicle of History, the reason why king Huan was dissected was mainly because of Bikan's advice. Then, why is the king of Lu like this, the history books do not explain. The parts of the history books that are not explained naturally have room to play. For 1,500 to 600 years, from the "Chronicle of History" to the "Fengshen Yanyi", as a work deeply influenced by folk rap art (now known as Quyi), it absorbed many folk stories.
The "Fengshen Yanyi" is even more a competition among Buddhist and Taoist believers, and it is also the result of the hand-to-hand combat (with the spiritual needs of the citizens) in order to obtain the A-Block in the economic tide. Therefore, "telling a good story" is a necessary part. Therefore, the reason why king Huan killed Bigan must be made clear.
Because of the Confucian idea of loyalty to the king, because of the thinking of "red face and disaster water", there is a reason why the king of Lu killed Bigan.
The plot expansion of the "History" in "Fengshen Yanyi" allows people to form a "clue of love and hatred"
Lutai asked for immortals, and the children and grandchildren of the false concubines were all taken away by a nest. The foxes were overwhelmed by the strength of the wine, causing the smell of foxes on the deer platform to run rampant, which aroused Bi gan's suspicions, and it turned out to be a group of fox spirits on a closer look. Bi Gan and Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, burned the tomb of Xuanyuan, the old lair of these drunken fox spirits.
In order to warn Daji, Bigan asked Huang Feihu to make a leather jacket from the unburned fox skin and offer it to the King of Lu. This led to the "Chu Chu pitiful" who could not be healed by the recurrence of the old disease under the pretext of the recurrence of the old disease, and led to the "love first" king who did not care about the world for life and did not care about the way of the human morality. How to treat wang yi asked? The chicken spirit said, "The only thing is the heart of the seven tricks of the linglong compared to the dry."
In the end, the "love first" theory turned all the rules into cooking smoke. The King of Lu immediately went to the temple and asked for Linglong's heart.
At this time, Bi Gan had already learned from the mouth of the propagandist that the intention of the King of Lu was to die or die. In a hurry, Bi Gan took out the "life preserver" given by Jiang Ziya and burned it and drank it. After taking Bigan's heart, Bigan was still alive and rode out of the noon gate. I met an old woman who sold vegetables and sold heartless vegetables. As soon as Bikan heard Lemma, he asked: What is heartless dish, and what will happen to people if they have no heart? The woman replied, "If a man has no heart, he will die." ”。 Bigan heard it, screamed and fell off his horse and died.
After "Fengshen Yanyi", the opera music art continued to be depicted, and finally became the old version of "Fengshen List"
Although "The Evolution of the Fengshen Gods" explains the ins and outs, there are still some small plots that the author ignores. These neglected links are gradually filled in by opera art. For example, who is the old woman who sells vegetables after "Bikan was cut off"? It is not shown in the novel, just a passerby.
The plot we are watching now about the film and television drama of "Fengshen Yanyi", the old woman is made up of herself. In fact, this is not a fabrication made up by today's people, and this detail has been completed as early as before Qianlong.
In the court Kunqu opera "Fengshen Heavenly List", the old woman who sells vegetables becomes a concubine. At the same time, the sword of The Cutbi Ganxin also has the name "Dragon Phoenix Sword" in the Zizi play. Because the people who write plays are generally literati, as long as you are not a habitual plagiarist, you will upgrade the imitation version. Literati, if the writing is not as good as the previous version, what a literati. Therefore, the opera writers are more loyal to the "History".
At first, Bigan did not know that he was going to be dissected, but as soon as he saw it, he persuaded the king to practice benevolent government, which made the king very unhappy. When Bigan learned that he was going to be dissected, he immediately wanted to escape, which was in line with human nature. Bi Gan asked to go home to meet the child's wife first, and when they got home, the family first said goodbye sadly, and finally remembered Jiang Ziya's spell before leaving.
The influence of literati, especially those in the folk, on literary creation. This is also why, among the four famous works we are talking about, only "Dream of the Red Chamber" can be regarded as a complete literati work. Since the Wanli period was well known to the majority of the people, after two hundred years of time in the Ming and Qing dynasties, whether it is music art, opera, folk stories have gradually enriched it, and finally formed the current film and television version of "Fengshen Yanyi". In addition to some more bizarre plots, in the Qianlong period, the story of the "Fengshen Yanyi Series" has been completely fixed.
If you have only seen "The Evolution of the Gods" and not other "series", I am afraid that you will be surprised by the compilation ability of the screenwriter, in fact, the various literary extensions under people's thinking, in addition to the changes in the technical level, will not change much in essence. Just as we write history and write novels, we can only say that we see less, in fact, historical views and the strangeness of novels have long been written in the predecessors.
Bigan's "no heart" is the key to becoming the god of wealth
Why is the "no heart" key? No heart means more justice, which is the ideal of good people. At the same time, the bad guys think that "no heart" means that the person has no heart, is more ruthless, and is darker. Moreover, "Wenqu Xing" was originally the god of wealth of intellectuals. Of course, most Confucian literati do not recognize this.
They believe that "Wenqu Xing" is more of a representative of talent. But since it represents talent, then you hope to give talent by wenqu xing, but it is only a change in the expression of "wealth". If you have talent, you can pass the scientific examination and become an official and get rich.
Therefore, the literati's "god of wealth thinking" has only changed the form of expression. It's still a sign of love. The people are much more straightforward and cute.
So, when did Bigan become the god of wealth? It should be in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the evidence lies in the Song and Yuan Dynasties in the "Wu Wang Fa Ping Dialect", Bi Gan is still in the "Historical Record". Therefore, the image of "Wenqu Xingjun" did not exist in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, so there will be no image of the "God of Literature and Wealth" in later generations. Therefore, the Ming and Qing dynasties were a period in which Gan became the god of wealth, and it is more likely that the late Ming Dynasty, the second peak period of China's ancient economic development, was the period.
Above we proposed that the "Fengshen Yanyi" will shape Bigan as a "Wenqu Star", and Bigan's divine personality image will be fixed. Folk shaping it as the "god of wealth" will not be earlier than this period, of course, it may be the same period.
