Text/Jiang Zi shushu
"Journey to the West", formerly known as "Journey to the West", is the four major novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which has been remade into film and television dramas by countless directors, of which 86 versions of "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West" and other film and television dramas are relatively well-known. Today we focus on "Journey to the West and Descending Demons".
As we all know, in the film and television drama of "Journey to the West", Zhou Xingchi plays the supreme treasure and Sun Wukong, who is the main actor, and in the costume mythological movie "Journey to the West and Descends the Devil", the main actors are Article, Shu Qi, Huang Bo and others, and Zhou Xingchi has become a director, screenwriter and producer.
In the film and television drama "Journey to the West and Descending Demons", the article plays Tang Sanzang, an exorcist who holds the exorcism of "Three Hundred Children's Songs", while Miss Duan, played by Shu Qi, is also an exorcist, whose magic weapon is the indefinite flying ring.
The first demon to appear is the fish demon of the small fishing village, this fish demon is good in nature, before saving a child in the small fishing village, but was mistaken for a human trafficker, pushed into the river by the villagers and drowned, so his resentment turned into a fish demon, the scourge of one side.
Sharp-eyed friends should have found that fish demons or kappa are actually the image of sand monks. Many people feel that this is a character who is "pure in nature and not good at words".
In fact, the sand monk in the famous book "Journey to the West" represents the delusion of greed and anger among the three poisons, which is similar to the image of the red child, which is the yellow woman and the naked son, so it is called Sha Wujing, which is the self-nature of the mind that is indistinguishable from the Buddha.
In the original "Journey to the West", Ziyang Zhenren Zhang Boduan once transformed an old brown coat into a new Xia dress, dedicated it to Sai Taiyi, taught the Lady of the Golden Sacred Palace to wear new makeup, this Zhang Ziyang did have his own person, once wrote "Xijiang Yue • Twelve Songs", the poem said:
Delusions do not need to be extinguished, but really must be desired. The original originated from the sexual Buddha's practice. Confusion is not in order.
Enlightenment becomes a Buddha in an instant, and confusion leads to all kinds of disasters. If you can really cultivate with one thought. Destroy the grime of the everlasting sand.
In the original "Journey to the West", the sand monk ate the ninth person in the Quicksand River, of which the Quicksand River is the Sea of Suffering, that is, the Hengsha Sin Dirt. The sand monk is the monk of the sand gate, he was originally a person who took the scriptures with an obscure face, and the people who took the scriptures could not be lived in the ninth lifetime, and they were all doomed and fallen, the so-called magic karma.
What is infatuation? What is Huang Po Chizi? What is Sexual Sea Shifts? In short, the obsession of the human heart. What is obsession? It must be love, it is obsession; It must be forgotten, but also obsessed, the so-called "delusion does not have to be extinguished, how really must be desired." ”
What does that mean? In "Journey to the West and Descending Demons", Tang Monk's master said that he ate chicken legs and did not have chicken legs in his heart, and Tang Monk said that he did not love Miss Duan, but he had Miss Duan in his heart, which was also an obsession. Before Miss Duan died, Tang Monk finally admitted that he loved him, which was to let go of his obsession and face his true heart, realizing that small love is also great love.
As for the sand monk in "Journey to the West and Descending Demons", he did not obviously show obsessive thoughts, but had a large component of anger. The word fish demon, which alludes to the meaning of foolishness, refers directly to the pride and prejudice of the world, of course, this is also a kind of "fan". Tang monks take children's songs to collect demons, which is also a great reward for confusing behavior.
As for Miss Duan, it is actually a "broken" word! In the face of people's obsessions and greed, it is necessary to quit, so in the face of fish demons and pig demons, Miss Duan is better than Tang Sanzang. Tang Monk could not face his own obsession and greed, and always wanted to give the fish demon and the pig demon another chance, so he needed Miss Duan's help, pay attention, this is really not a love story. Miss Duan has five fires under her hands, which is the residence of the five elements.
The so-called indefinite flying ring is a circle, originally a tight hoop, put on the head, is the power of confinement, tight hoop spell and golden hoop stick, can destroy the world's demons, is the meaning of concealing evil and promoting good, the so-called "gold (greed) tight (anger) forbidden (delusion)".
From amortization to concentration, from the "Many Hearts Sutra" to the "Heart Sutra", the five aggregates are empty, the six consciousnesses are extinguished, and the nature of the baby is returned, so there are "Three Hundred Children's Songs", which is for the "Great Sun Rulai True Sutra", which is the meaning of breaking the stubborn emptiness. The indefinite flying ring is a circle and an emptiness.
In the original work of "Journey to the West", the other party's red child is "obsessed" and "obsessed", and the red child corresponds to Sha Wujing; To deal with the Black Bear Essence and the Yellow Brow King, it is to "prohibit" the "greed", and the Black Bear Spirit and the Yellow Brow King correspond to the Pig Goneng; To deal with the Bull Demon King, Qingniu Jing, Qingshi Jing and Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle, it is to use the "bolt" to control "anger", and the group of demons corresponds to Sun Wukong.
All in all, in the "Journey to the West", Tang Sanzang is worried, the three disciples are three demons, the original sin of man is greedy and delusional, he can't ask, he hates, and loves to part, the second master brother is the dust lock, the master brother is Zhenru, and the third master brother is the sex sea quicksand. Book:
Mu Mu Jin Gongyuan self-contained, Huang Po Chizi ben no difference. Biting open the iron bullet, Prajnaparamita went to the other house. This book, the way of learning the scriptures, is not far from the way of the body. But he said that he had mastered and apprenticed four people, realized the truth, suddenly opened the dust lock, jumped out of the sexual sea quicksand, and threw himself into the west of the road without any obstacles.
In the film and television drama "Journey to the West and Descending Demons", the second demon who appears is the pig just a hyena, the wild boar head is just the beginning of the ugliness, the real outbreak of power, from the pig eight precepts prominent belly, five meat three disgusting precepts continuously, so-called: "Young at home greedy blood, old to fall stinky skin bag." ”
Clothing, food, and untouchable belly are the true image of the Eight Precepts of the Pig. At that time, there was a big fuss in the Guanghan Palace, but it was just a greedy cup, and then the fangs were big, and they ate the Queen Mother's Mother's Lingzhi dish, and later several times, all of which were for subsistence.
In the film and television drama "Journey to the West and Descending Demons", Miss Duan asked Tang Monk to suck out the things in the pig's fresh mane, which was to let him face the ugly desire. Chaos was confused, the demon bag could not be stopped, and Mu Sheng still needed Jin Ke, so he had to turn to The Great Saint Sun Wukong of Qi Tian.
The third demon appearing in "Journey to the West and Descending Demons" is naturally Sun Wukong, the king of ten thousand demons, which is the so-called first demon of qiankun in all the worlds. The king of all beasts represents animal nature, the heavenly stump represents pressure, and the empty prince represents invincibility, these three people compete for the first exorcist under the day, and they are the competitive heart, high heart, fame heart, insulting heart, killing heart, and vicious heart of sun wukong.
In the film and television drama "Journey to the West and Descending Demons", Sun Wukong is full of anger towards the Buddha of The Western Heavens, which is a heart of anger, because Rulai imprisons his freedom. In fact, under the Five Finger Mountain, there is only the Monkey King, the so-called Six Thieves, that is, the legendary King of Ten Thousand Demons, the Six-Eared Macaque, not Sun Wukong.
The so-called Wukong, that is, to break the stubborn void, "there are no six ears here, only one disciple", which means "the five aggregates are empty, the six consciousnesses are destroyed, and the baby is ontology". On the surface, Tang Monk is an exorcist, Sun Wukong is a demon, in fact, Sun Wukong is also a god Buddha, just so-called: "born saint", "mind is Buddha", "that is, the body becomes a Buddha", "instantly become a Buddha". Thousands of scriptures, just cultivation of the mind. How to become a Buddha? How to attain enlightenment? Listen carefully:
There was an old immortal on that mountain, who lived for 108,000 years. Old Sun worshipped him as a master and pointed out a path to eternal life. He said that there was an elixir in his body, and that he had done nothing on the outside. It is difficult to pass on the Great Heavenly Immortal Technique, if there is no root. Back to the light of the inner illumination of the heart to sit, the body of the sun and the moon kan disengaged. All things are thoughtless and desireless, and the six pure bodies are firm. Rejuvenation is easy to get, and the extraordinary way into the holy road is not far away.
The demons surrendered by Tang Monk, why are the three brothers of Sun Wukong? How did the three disciples who protected the Tang monk Xi Tian's scriptures become demons? All kinds of demons in the world are greed, anger, and delusion.
