Is the six-year-old children's version of Bai Impermanence the shadow of everyone's childhood? There is a scene in Journey to the West like this, after Sun Wukong turned into a white impermanence, he really scared Bajie so much that his soul flew out eight miles away.
So today, let's walk into the world of black and white impermanence and learn about the past and present life of black and white impermanence CP and the touching myths and legends!
In people's inherent thinking, people go to the underworld after death, and the task of black and white impermanence is to guide these dead people. But if you see black and white impermanence in your life, it can only mean one thing, that is, your life is short. In many mythological films or novels, black and white impermanence can be seen, and they are all depicted as dark faces with pale faces and smiles.
According to legend, on the nameless mountain in the ghost town, there are two small gods. One is called white impermanence, and the other is called black impermanence. Bai Wuchang represents yang, and the official hat is embroidered with the four characters "Fortune at first sight", while black impermanence represents yin, and his official hat is embroidered with the four big characters "The world is peaceful". The two identities of black and white impermanence were specially given by the king of Hades after hearing the deeds of the two of them, so who were the two of them before their deaths?
Previous Lives
Bai Wuchang's original name was Xie Bi'an, and Hei Wuchang's name was Fan Wu'an. The two of them are good buddies who talk about everything in the Yamen, one day, the two were sent to the field by the Yamen County Order to go on an errand, who expected that when they rushed to Nantai Bridge, it suddenly rained heavily, so Xie Bi'an said to Fan Wuyi, I run fast with my feet, you take shelter from the rain here first, and I will run home to get an umbrella. But the rain is getting heavier and heavier...... Xie Bi'an didn't walk long before the water level of the river doubled, and gradually, it didn't cross the shore, Fan Wuyi's feet and neck, calves, and thighs. During this period, Fan Wuyi thought about waiting for Xie Bi'an elsewhere, but he thought about it again, what if he left and Xie Bi'an couldn't find me when he came back, so Fan Wuyi was slowly submerged by the rising river.
After Xie Bi'an came back with an umbrella, what he was waiting for was that his good brother was drowned by the river in order to abide by the agreement between the two and not run around, at this time Xie Bi'an was very self-blaming, because in his opinion, he killed his good brother Fan Wuyi. So Xie Bi'an thought about going to the underworld to make amends to Fan Wujiao, so he hanged himself at the place where Fan Wujiao died.
After that, the two successively arrived in front of the king of Yama in the hall of Yama, in front of the king of Yama, the two told the king of Hades about the cause and effect of the matter, and the king of Yama was greatly moved after hearing it, and sighed that there was such a deep friendship in this world. So in order to preserve this friendship, the king of Hades appointed the two as black and white impermanence, hoping that the two would be brothers during their lifetimes, and they would still be able to do things together after death, talking and laughing in the rivers and lakes. As for why the king of Hades arranged for the two to catch the souls, it is a reference to the work of the two officials during their lifetimes. Before he was alive, he caught people, and after he died, he caught souls. It is the white impermanence that hangs us, so the image of the white impermanence we see is a big tongue sticking out, and the drowned is the black impermanence, and what we see is the fat man with a bulging belly. Since then, black and white impermanence has become the right-hand man of Lord Yama together with the bull head and horse face. They continue to fulfill their mission to catch evil spirits and protect the underworld in the underworld!
As for the image of black and white impermanence, why do you choose black and white? Then we have to start with the yin and yang gossip. First, the duty of Bai Impermanence is to be responsible for those who do good in life, and the duty of Black Impermanence is to be responsible for those who do evil in life. This is the same as the Taoist Yin and Yang Bagua Array; second, we all know that we have a soul and a soul in life, and when a person needs to be dispersed by black and white impermanence after death, the soul will be taken away, but this work is the responsibility of black and white impermanence, if it is further subdivided, black impermanence is responsible for sucking the soul of men and scattering the soul of women, and white impermanence is responsible for sucking the soul of women and scattering the spirit of men. The two of them can't do it without one person, and the king of Hades has tied the two of them together, which is why black and white impermanence have to appear together, because the two of them can't work no matter who is less.
Mythological stories
But it is not without the situation that two impermanences appear alone, just like the folk legend: those who reward the gods will be safe, and those who break the law and do evil will not be saved. When the two of them appear alone, it only proves that justice is being done.
For example, there is a mythical story about white impermanence that is told like this. Around the Qingming Festival of one year, Bai Wuchang accidentally met a woman with two children crying by the grave, and there was an old grandfather next to him who sighed repeatedly. The woman's surname is Chen, is the third daughter of a wealthy local businessman, although she does not have to worry about food and clothing, but when she was a child, she contracted smallpox and had pockmarks on her face, even if the matchmaker said Miss Chen well, but those who saw Miss Chen decisively refused, no one was willing to marry Miss Chen, and the mother did not see her daughter marry before she died. At this time, Ao Da, a long-term worker of the Chen family, became ill-intentioned, and he thought: If I marry Miss Chen, won't the Chen family be mine in the future. So Ao Da began to be courteous and honest in front of the Chen family. expressed his willingness to Miss Chen and Master Chen many times. Fortunately, Miss Chen slowly fell in love with him under the constant diligence of Ao Da.
After the raw rice was cooked and the rice was ripe, the two naturally became intimate. After marriage, Ao Da's true face was slowly revealed, and he was so busy eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling every day that he flew up, and he couldn't listen to Miss Chen and Master Chen's words at all. It didn't take long for Ao Da to successfully make Master Chen angry to death. Bai Wuchang was furious after hearing this, and decided to teach Ao Da a lesson, so he secretly went home with Miss Chen, but unexpectedly met someone who came to ask Ao Da to gamble debts, Miss Chen took a few slaps and took money to send them away, and then wanted to hang herself to end her life, so Bai Wuchang used a little trick to stop Miss Chen, and said to her: What should you do if you die and your child, if you die, your husband will die. Under Bai Wuchang's persuasion, Miss Chen took his two children away from home. At this time, Ao Da was drinking and smoking in the restaurant. What he didn't expect was that at this time, the Chen family's property was being destroyed in the fire.
Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of these mythical characters, everything has two sides, and you can't just see the side of black and white impermanence to capture the soul, in case it is SAINT ANGELO!
