First of all, I would like to express my personal attitude: I think that with or without a tight curse, Sun Wukong will escort the Tang monks to learn the scriptures.
In the first big way, Sun Wukong is a monkey king with a thin and thin sky, and although he is a little disobedient, he is actually loyal to the Tang monks. This determines that Sun Wukong will "end from one" to Tang Monk, but if there is no tight curse, his temperament may make a little mistake from time to time, so that the administrator (Tang Monk) feels that Sun Wukong is very difficult to discipline.
So under what circumstances was Sun Wukong put on a tight curse?
In the original work of "Journey to the West", it is said that after Sun Wukong was rescued by Tang Monk from the Five Elements Mountain, perhaps he was suppressed for too long, so at first he was a little debauched and loved freedom. When Sun Wukong saw the "six thieves" to "cut the path", that is, to rob, these hair thieves are not kicking the iron plate! Goku took out the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, which had not been used for five hundred years, and sent all these six thieves to the Western Heavens one by one. When Tang Monk saw that Sun Wukong had killed someone, he naturally "educated" him a few times, and as a result, Goku went to the East Sea to find the Old Dragon King for tea.
So Guanyin Bodhisattva changed into an old mother who gave the Tang monk a golden hoop and taught him to recite the "Mantra of Concentration", which is commonly known as the "Mantra of Tightening The Mantra" (the original Mantra of Tightening the Hoop was the "Mantra of Fixing the Heart"). Tang Monk had a golden hoop, but there was still a question, that is, how to make Sun Wukong wear it? So Guanyin Bodhisattva "sent the Buddha to the west" and sang a "double reed" with the Tang monks.
Look at the veins of time! After Guanyin Bodhisattva explained to the Tang monks, "The old mother (Guanyin) turned into a golden light and went back to the east", we know that Guanyin lives in the South China Sea, why go east? Because Guanyin was waiting for Goku on the way to the east. You see, Sun Wukong was a little angry and went to his old friend to relax his heart, but Sun Wukong did not forget the heavy responsibility of his protector going west, and he quickly returned to Tang Monk from the East Sea Dragon King. Isn't this exactly the expression of Sun Wukong's loyalty to master? However, Guanyin did not see this in his eyes at all, and after he "met" Sun Wukong, he said: "Hurry up and go early, don't miss the thought" - indeed, because goku was "thought" in a moment.
Guanyin and Tang Monk joined forces to make a game
Then how did Tang Monk implement the next step? After Goku saw Tang Monk, Tang Monk first said a few words to Goku, and then said that he wanted to eat some dry food for Goku to take in the package. Why? This is to allow Goku to see the coat and hat in the package, because the gold hoop is hidden in a "golden flower hat", which is a deliberate attempt to exploit Goku's curiosity.
Sure enough, after Goku saw the inlaid golden flower hat, he asked Tang Monk, "This cloak was brought from The Eastern Soil?" The book reads: Sanzang agreed in passing, "I wore it when I was a child." If this hat is worn, if you don't have to teach the scriptures, you will chant the scriptures..." The practitioner said, "Good Master, just put it on with me." "It's easy for This Goku to wear the golden hoop, but it's impossible to take it off!"
Just like that, Sun Wukong was coaxed into wearing a tight curse! This is a round made by Guanyin Bodhisattva and Tang Monk! Where can you see the style of the senior monk Tang Xuanzang who "does not speak in the monks"? It can be said that although Guanyin and The Tang monks were clever, they were a bit unscrupulous.
It looks like "gold", but it's a restraining "weapon"

From this point of view, Tang Monk and Guanyin were "presumption of guilt" for Sun Wukong, and he cut off the orphan case of the "six thieves" to convict Sun Wukong of "sin", so he hurriedly put a tight curse on Sun Wukong. If this is from the perspective of workplace management, this is the simplest and most crude management model. This approach ignores the individual's personality and adopts undifferentiated management methods for the managed, which is actually a restriction on the managed.
In fact, thinking deeper, Tang Monk relied on the Tightening Curse to restrict Sun Wukong, but who was to restrict Tang Monk? Of course, Tang Monk was a generation of senior monks, and he couldn't let Sun Wukong do anything bad. But suppose Tang Monk asked Sun Wukong to do something bad, and Sun Wukong didn't do it, at this time Tang Monk chanted the tightening mantra, what to do?
In the second big way, the actual effect of the tightening mantra is more often manifested as a "negative effect." For example, when Sun Wukong hit the white bone essence three times, Tang Monk recited the tightening mantra every time, if it were not for Sun Wukong's resolute will, he endured a headache and killed the white bone essence, at least Tang Monk would definitely be caught by the white bone essence after driving away Sun Wukong.
For another example, when Sun Wukong was impersonated by the "six-eared macaque", Tang Monk recited the tight hoop mantra dozens of times, and almost did not "curse" Sun Wukong to death! Isn't this the result of Tang Monk's indiscriminateness?
Sun Wukong was wronged most of the time when he was chanted the tight hoop curse
The purpose of putting a tight hoop spell on Sun Wukong is to make him obedient, but the result is that Sun Wukong is mostly "cursed" by the tight hoop because he is misunderstood! But even so, did Sun Wukong give up his protection for Tang Monk? Sun Wukong was expelled twice, both times he was wronged, but as long as Sun Wukong heard that Tang Monk was in trouble, he rushed to the rescue as soon as possible. If from a logical point of view, at this time, Sun Wukong can completely ignore the death or death of Tang Monk - this has nothing to do with whether he wears a tight hoop spell or not. But does Sun Wukong have two words? Isn't this loyalty what it is? And every time, Tang Monk just said, "Blame you for the teacher's mistake" - but it is just that, "attitude is modest, resolutely do not change" - tighten the mantra should be read or read!
Therefore, many people draw unspoken rules in the workplace from the tightening of the curse. I think there's some truth to that!
