Sun Wukong jumped out of the stone, that is, "heaven is the father, the earth is the mother", in fact, to put it bluntly, it is fatherless and motherless. If this situation is put into human society, what is the situation? That's orphans! So what is Sun Wukong lacking? The lack of family life also lacks the warmth from the family.
Sun Wukong created the earth, and later obtained the control of a monkey group with his talent for high jump and became the monkey king. But what is the greatest benefit of nature's Monkey King? It is the monkey king's sexual dominance – except for the monkey king, the other male monkeys in the monkey group have no sexual right to have sexual intercourse. However, does Sun Wukong have "harem three thousand"? No! At least not in the Hundred Times "Journey to the West". There is not even one "three wives and four concubines". What he has is only a group of "warrior monkeys" (male monkeys) with explosive combat power, which is essentially not a group of monkeys, but an army of monkeys, and Sun Wukong is the "monkey marshal".
Naturally, Sun Wukong could not experience the joy of family life in the life of the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain.
Sun Wukong and the Shi brothers
To clarify this premise, let's look at Sun Wukong's life in Bodhi Laozu. In the Lingtai Fangzhi Mountain Oblique Moon Sanxing Cave, there are many teachers and brothers (there should also be a master sister, a master sister), living with the division brothers all day long, Sun Wukong began to learn from "sun sweeping and coping", "going in and out of the way", and then learned "verbal politeness" and "preaching the scriptures", is this not the process of a person growing from a child to a young man who knows the book? You look at Sun Wukong again, "sweeping the floor and hoeing the garden in his spare time, raising flowers and trees, looking for firewood and burning fires, and carrying water and transporting slurry." Everything that is used is available. I didn't feel like I was in the cave for six or seven years. ”
It should be said that Sun Wukong gained a little warmth of family life here in Bodhi Laozu, which was the most rare period of heartfelt joy in his glorious life.
Although the ancestor is severe, he is more like the image of the "strict father"
Look at Bodhidharma again. There is no doubt that Bodhidharma was a man of great ability! He taught Sun Wukong the skills of "Seventy-Two Changes in The Art of Changing the Earth" and "Fighting Clouds"—this was the fundamental basis for Sun Wukong to "make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace" and "protect the Fa and learn the scriptures" in the future. Whether we watch the original "Journey to the West" or the TV series, Bodhi Laozu feels more like a "strict father" character for Sun Wukong. Although Bodhi Laozu finally expelled Sun Wukong from the division because he changed a magic trick for his brother, on the whole, Bodhi Laozu had a different-eyed and caring attitude towards Sun Wukong, and from the perspective of human growth, Bodhi Laozu gave Sun Wukong the spiritual strength of a man with the role of "strict father".
You see how reluctant Sun Wukong was when he was expelled from the division! See the original text:
The grandmaster said, "I don't sin against you either, but just you go." When Goku heard this, his eyes filled with tears, "Master taught me where to go?" The ancestor said, "Wherever you come, go from there." Goku suddenly woke up and said, "I came from Dongsheng Shenzhou to the National Flower and Fruit Landscape Curtain Cave." The ancestor said, "If you go back quickly, you will live your whole life, but if you are here, you absolutely cannot!" "Goku takes the sin," I told the Master, I have also been away from home for twenty years, although I am looking back on my children and grandchildren in the old days, but I have not repaid Master's kindness and dare not go. The patriarch said, "What is the righteousness there?" You just don't cause trouble and don't take me with you!" ”
It is not so much that Sun Wukong was expelled from the division, but more like a child being expelled from the family and expelled from the family!
Sun Wukong just changed his "magic" and was expelled from the division
The warmth that Bodhi Grandmaster gave to Sun Wukong was something that the Tang monks could not give! Even from Sun Wukong's point of view, Tang Monk is a little bit indiscriminate, uneven in thickness and thinness, and threatens with a tight curse at every turn... Sun Wukong wanted to get a little warmth from Tang Monk, it was indeed too difficult.
