In "Journey to the West", we are presented with a world full of mystery and fantasy, in which Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and other various characters embark on a journey of learning scriptures. However, there is one more character to be reckoned with in this intoxicating story – the Jade Emperor. He lives in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall in the Nine Heavens, this mysterious place has always made people curious, so, which atmosphere is the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Treasure Hall located in?
According to legend, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall is located on the 32nd floor of the "Tai Chi Meng Fei Jia Yitian", but the height is not specified. So, is this location in the stratosphere or troposphere? First, let's take a look at the layering structure of the Earth's atmosphere.
The Earth's atmosphere is vertically stratified by temperature, which is mainly divided into troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The troposphere is located below an altitude of about 10,000 meters above the surface and is mainly caused by the gradual decrease in temperature caused by ground heating. The stratosphere, on the other hand, is located at an altitude of 10 kilometers to tens of kilometers, with relatively stable air currents, and is the main flight area of aircraft. Considering the location of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, it should be located in the stratosphere, because within this altitude range, the Jade Emperor can overlook the clouds, which is in line with the description in "Journey to the West".
So, why do Chinese immortals fly vertically in film and television dramas? Compared with Superman flying sideways in Western film and television dramas, is there a scientific basis for these two different ways of flying?
Through analysis, it is known that the Chinese immortals in "Journey to the West" mainly live and work in the stratosphere, and the air in the stratosphere is in a stable horizontal movement, and the vertical movement is weak, so the horizontal flight is not easy to bump, suitable for vertical flight, showing an elegant demeanor.
In contrast, the Superman in foreign film and television dramas spends most of his flight time in the troposphere, so they choose to fly horizontally on their stomachs, stretching out their fists to reduce air resistance, and are more resistant to turbulence, similar to low-flying airplanes. This also explains why Chinese immortals and Western superhumans are presented in different ways of flying in film and television.
And in this mysterious and fantastic world, there is a Bai Suzhen who also arouses people's curiosity with her unique flying posture. What is the meaning of her flying with one hand forward and the other flat?
Observing "The Legend of the New White Lady", we found that Bai Suzhen's flying posture is very unique: one hand forward, the other hand flat. This pose not only shows her grace, but also suggests strong air currents in the troposphere. In order to maintain stability in this unstable environment, Bai Suzhen chose to reach forward with her arms, similar to the vertical wings of an airplane, to play a stabilizing role. Her arms and bun stretched out to the sides, like the horizontal tail of an airplane, help regulate balance.
The aircraft relies on the wings to generate lift during takeoff, but because the wing lift center does not coincide with the center of gravity of the aircraft, it is easy to cause the aircraft to fall up or down. Similarly, Baek Su-jeong's flying mana needs to be adjusted through this unique posture to maintain a smooth flight.
To sum up, through the discussion of the residence of the immortals in Journey to the West and the comparison of the flight methods of the Chinese and Western immortals, we have a deeper understanding of the scientific principles in this mysterious world. In this wonderful story, people not only feel the charm of myths and legends, but also discover some amazing scientific mysteries from it.
When I was a child, every winter and summer vacation, there would always be a few classic dramas replayed, including "Journey to the West" for all ages. Tang Seng who is dedicated to learning scriptures, the smart and stubborn Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, who is greedy and lazy, and the honest and loyal Sha Seng... The image of the four masters and apprentices has become remembered by everyone. In "Journey to the West", there is another well-known character, the Jade Emperor. As we all know, the Jade Emperor in the play lives in the Nine Heavens, and the misty "Heavenly Court" has aroused the curiosity of many people. There are also immortals who say that they will fly wherever they fly, which is really enviable.
First of all, about the residence of the Jade Emperor, is it the stratosphere or the troposphere? Legend has it that the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Treasure Hall is on the 32nd floor of the "Taiji Meng Peng Jia Yitian", but the corresponding height is not introduced. According to the stratification of the Earth's atmosphere, the stratosphere and troposphere are the two main atmospheres. The troposphere is 10,000 meters below the surface, while the stratosphere is in the altitude zone of 10 km to tens of km. By examining the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, where the Jade Emperor was located, we can speculate that it may be located in the stratosphere. With the interpretation of the atmospheric distribution and the Huainanzi Topographic Training, the altitude range of the stratosphere is more in line with the description of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and its altitude is estimated to be around 35-36 kilometers, emphasizing the plausibility of the Jade Emperor's possible presence in the stratosphere.
Why do the gods at home and abroad fly differently? Observing the flight mode of immortals in Chinese and foreign film and television dramas, Chinese immortals usually fly vertically, while Superman in foreign film and television dramas flies horizontally. This difference stems from the different atmospheres where the gods live. In China, the immortals in "Journey to the West" mainly fly in the stratosphere, and the air in this layer is in horizontal and stable motion, and the horizontal flight is not easy to bump, which is suitable for vertical flight. And foreign supermen mainly fly in the troposphere, and they fly horizontally to reduce air resistance and better resist turbulence, so they adopt the way of flying sideways.
Why did Bai Suzhen put one hand in front of her when she flew? Observe Bai Suzhen's flying posture in "The Legend of the New White Lady", with one hand forward and the other hand raised. This posture has a certain plausibility when flying in the troposphere. The tropospheric airflow is strong, and it is difficult to fly smoothly. Baek Su-jeong's posture is similar to the vertical wing of an airplane, and by sticking her arms forward, a certain force is generated to adjust the balance, making the flight more stable. Her arms and head are bunned like an airplane's horizontal tail and can be finely tuned to make it easier to fly in the unstable troposphere.
Taken together, these observations and speculations show that the setting of the immortals flying in the stratosphere in "Journey to the West" is reasonable, and the difference in flight mode is due to the characteristics of the atmosphere where the immortals live. This interpretation not only adds interest to the mythological stories, but also gives us a deeper understanding of these classic stories from a scientific point of view.
