"Journey to the West" is broad and profound, many details in it are worth recalling, there is a problem that I don't know if everyone has considered, Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, and even had the intention of changing the lord of the Three Realms, which was equivalent to pulling a pole to rebel in ancient times, if according to the custom, it should be executed late, even the Nine Tribes can not be saved, not to mention the official position he held before. However, the Jade Emperor was very tolerant of Sun Wukong, not only did he let him learn the scriptures from the Western Heavens, but he did not even deprive him of the title of Qi Tianda sage, why was this? A pot of porridge believes that the Jade Emperor's move has many factors, let's talk about it together.
Monkey king
First, Sun Wukong's Qi Tian Dasheng was processed, and on the surface he sat on an equal footing with the Jade Emperor, but in fact he was only an official. He did not share in the various benefits issued by the heavenly court, and even when he gave orders, he did not count, but only took advantage of a verbal advantage.
Second, the time to surrender sun wukong was too hasty, and when he heard that Sun Wukong was captured, the Jade Emperor was only busy ordering his execution, and as for what status he was executed, the Jade Emperor did not care. It's just that Sun Wukong didn't get his wish, and instead sent it to Taishang Laojun, and Laojun could release the monkeys with water, which made him find the Buddha, and the Buddha came out of the horse and pressed him under the Five Elements Mountain, a pressure is 500 years, the time is so hasty, of course, the Jade Emperor can't care about depriving him of this false name.

Third, the Jade Emperor had already approved Rulai's plan to learn the scriptures, and Sun Wukong was an important member of the scriptures, and in the future, the demon exorcism and protection of the Tang monks all depended on him, and if he was deprived of the title of Qi Tian dasheng, then it would be very difficult to ask for help, just imagine how those Daoist immortals would give face to the Buddhist disciples, most of them would not give Sun Wukong a helping hand, in fact, it was not just the Daoist immortals, it was the ordinary mountain god land, the Dragon King of the Four Seas and others, they would not listen to the words of Sun Wukong, who had abandoned the Dao and entered the release. However, if Sun Wukong was still the Great Sage of Qi Tian, it would be different, although this title was only a false name, after all, it was approved by the Jade Emperor, and it had already been prepared in the Heavenly Court, and even high-ranking immortals such as the Zhenwu Emperor and the Emperor of Donghua had to be personally greeted.
Fourth, Sun Wukong retained this title and also made it convenient for him to go to the Heavenly Court to ask for help from the Jade Emperor, in fact, the original book has described many times that it is very difficult for ordinary immortals to go to the Heavenly Court, for example, when Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the East Sea and stepped on the Earth Palace, the Dragon King and the Yama King were furious and wanted to complain to the Jade Emperor, but in fact, not many immortals were qualified to meet the Jade Emperor, for example, among the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, only the East Sea Dragon King was eligible to see the Saint, and only the Underworld Sect Leader Dizang King Bodhisattva could report to the Jade Emperor, and even the Ten Heavenly Yan Jun could not meet the Jade Emperor.
Monkey king
If Sun Wukong's title of Qi Tian dasheng is stripped away, it is estimated that he can't even enter the South Heavenly Gate, which will cause great delays in the work of learning the scriptures, and everyone should not forget that the heavens are one day and one year underground, in case Tang Monk is caught by a certain female goblin, Sun Wukong will not see the Jade Emperor, and after the application, Tang Monk's sons can play soy sauce, right?
Therefore, although Qi Tian Dasheng is a false name, it is still very important for taking the scriptures, in addition, even if Sun Wukong becomes a Buddha in the future, the Heavenly Court may not look at him in the eyes, but his qi Tian Dasheng's name does not go, then the immortals of the Heavenly Court will always treat him with courtesy, if they are not stupid, how can they give up this great welfare, believe that when he is fine, he will be loyal to the Jade Emperor and want the title of monkey to be retained for life.
