Adults should have time and mood when reading idle books. Too busy life, reading idle books is unlikely. Idle reading is a blessing, but also a practice, it is like water through the bamboo basket at the same time, just like the water through the bamboo basket, washing and nourishing, the water after the bamboo basket is clean, just like the deeper the connotation after people read idle books. Idle reading without utilitarianism is like a spiritual blessing to oneself, but any purposeful contact with people or things is not pleasing. Imaginative idle reading, an unexpected encounter with a book after unintentional willow insertion, borrowing the Yang Spring march, and meeting with the "Journey to the West Demon Chronicle".
One of the highlights of the book is the interweaving of fun and wild. Flowers and willows, picking up some colorful from the book, the mood with the rhythm of spring sprouted green buds, there is a kind of lazy and comfortable intertwined happiness. Reading "Journey to the West" as an "animal world" not only satisfies the childlike heart that was once excited, but also as blue and open as the March outside the window.
When I read Journey to the West as a child, some details are really walking horses and flowers, now reading "Journey to the West Demon Biography", Fang knows that the past life of Tang Monk was The second disciple of the Buddha, Jin Chanzi; originally, the nine skulls on the neck of the sand monk were the skulls of the people he had eaten in the first nine generations; it turned out that when Goku's prototype Stone Panda bypassed the Jade Gate Pass, he actually quietly waved his sword to try to hack Xuanzang to death; it turned out that in ancient times, Ouyang Qimei's wife was taken by the ape and gave birth to a son who looked like a monkey, and this monkey-like child turned out to be Ouyang Qian, a great calligrapher of the later Tang Dynasty; originally, The White Dog Listens to the Jizo Bodhisattva and follows the Jizo Bodhisattva is also a kind of fate...
The joy and ease brought by a book, the comfort of sitting and watching the clouds, and the once lost childlike heart are all found from this, which is the cuteness and wildness of "Journey to the West".
The second highlight of the book is the confrontation between reason and desire. As primates, of course, human beings are not limited to three full and one fall, and they tend to think and benefit from certain events of other people and other things.
The loyalty of the White Dragon Horse runs through the whole process of learning the scriptures, the courage to stand up in times of crisis, and what is said to be a horse is actually an expectation of people's morality; the shortcomings of Wukong's "good face" and "good name" are actually the shortcomings of being born as a human being; what are the reasons why Pig Gangyi was selfish, lazy, lustful, but not annoying after officially becoming Enlightened; the Deep Meaning of the Tang monks' devotion to Buddhism and the pedantic handling of things; the Three Princes of the Jade Dragon Burned the Pearls on the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King of the West Sea destroyed his relatives, and reported to the Jade Emperor, and the Third Prince was sentenced to be beheaded. It embodies the strict family style of the West Sea Dragon King's family; the West Sea Dragon King sent his eldest son Prince Mo Ang to capture the little dragon of the BlackWater River; Goku was repeatedly wronged by the Tang monks and was not discouraged and eventually became a fighting Buddha; the filth of blocking the "rare persimmon" is the same as the red-scaled python, the metaphor is the selfishness and greed of people, this kind of greedy person who tortures and pursues in all kinds, reflecting Sun Wukong's desirelessness.
It is an indisputable fact that all living individuals have a contest between desire and reason. Through animal demons to "Jia Yu Village Dialect", alluding to the human world, it is a technique of literary creation, which is worth playing.
The third highlight of the book is the fusion of science and magic. The book not only has the brain opening and jumping out of the magic novel, but also the analysis and follow-up of modern science, reading it gives people a sense of joy that is mixed with ancient and modern but not contrary to harmony.
The yellow-robed monster in "Journey to the West" is a wolf from the sky, who lives in the Boyue Cave of Bowl Mountain after arriving in the mortal world. The yellow-robed monster's previous life was the Kui Timber Wolf, one of the Twenty-Eight Lodges in the Heavens, and the first dwelling of the Western White Tiger, "Kui Su", was also. His goblin identity is a yellow-robed monster, and he is also a wise wolf, who conjures up the golden pagoda to "take the bait" for the guide, which is the "wisdom" of his daily life. Accidentally caught Tang Monk, but revealed his stolen wife, that is, princess of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom. Although the Kui Timber Wolf has thousands of evils, his feelings for the Hundred Flowers are no different from the Wolf Clan, that is, heavy affection. The "Twenty-Eight Houses" first made their collective appearance in the novel "Journey to the West" in the section of the Heavenly Palace, and they were all Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals dispatched by Li Tianwang. Later, the Four Wood Bird Star, namely Kui Timber Wolf and the other three-pointed Wooden Jiao, Dou Mu Badger, and Jing Mu Yi, help Sun Wukong subdue three rhino essences that steal sesame oil, which is both exciting and exciting.
The book also made explanations to Taiyin Xingjun and Eleven Yao. This is the author's pioneering move to integrate astronomical knowledge with novels, compared with today's massive xiuxian novels and cross-cutting novels, it can be called the originator, and the early one is not a star and a half.
The fourth highlight of the book is the mixing and matching of the overall style of the novel. This is a rich "Journey to the West Encyclopedia", not only has the myths and legends of related animals, but also supplements the stories related to them, the language style from the magic novel to the popular science, seemingly cross-border, but let the reader read with interest, the style of this mix-and-match is not abrupt, but feels quite chewy.
For example, in the passage "White Horse Extraordinary Horse", it is mentioned that Emperor Tang Taizong of the Horse knew horses and loved horses, and even his Zhaoling Specially erected six stone sculptures of horses that had followed him in six major battles, that is, "Zhaoling Six Horses". Another example is the book quoting an Indian legend recorded in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty", saying that once upon a time there lived in the forest a fox, a rabbit, and an ape. One day, Emperor Tianshi came to the forest in the form of an old man and said he was hungry. The three animals went their separate ways to find food for him, the fox brought a live fish, the ape brought back many exotic flowers and fruits, and the rabbit returned empty-handed. The old man ridiculed the rabbit, and as a result, the rabbit asked the fox ape to pick up firewood, make a fire, and said to the old man, use himself to provide for the old man, and then jump into the fire, the old man is the Emperor of Heaven, who regrets and grieves, and lets the rabbit's spirit live in the moon.
The book of leisure and entertainment wants to idle out of the level and turn out tricks. Ancient and modern Chinese and foreign talks, the heavens, the south sea and the north, the words are witty and humorous, and the characters and monsters have their own advantages. The story of the Tang monk's life as a "river streamer", the carp in the bodhisattva basket, the Pleiades officer who surrendered to the scorpion spirit, the old shrew who started the eighty-one difficulties and the last difficulty, the yellow-browed old monster pretending to be the Buddha, the roc bird of the Buddha's family, the mother and child and centipede essence who made a contribution, the mind-reading master mouse essence...
Interesting things emerge endlessly, and all kinds of goblins compete for beauty, which makes people read with the ups and downs of the plot, which is quite enjoyable.
Picky, in the west. The ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties of the Western Heavens' scriptures are not tortured in a thousand ways, and the original intention is like a rock. The gaze fell on a certain goblin, and for a moment it aroused the child's heart and imagined it. Although different ages have different interpretations of the same book, it does not prevent us from occasionally diving in the hustle and bustle of the world, using "Journey to the West Demon Biography" to find a long-lost old feeling lost in the rolling red dust, so that the mind and body are leisurely and leisurely, wonderful. This may be a good wine dedicated to the reader behind the book's gags.
