In the magical world of "Journey to the West", each character has their own unique fate and story. The four Tang monks and apprentices experienced nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, and finally obtained the true scriptures in Lingshan, and each obtained different titles and merits. Do you know why Sun Wukong can become a fighting Buddha, while Sha Wujing is only named a golden-bodied Arhat?
"Journey to the West" is not just a mythological novel, it is more like an epic full of philosophy and life revelations. In this epic, each character has its own unique destiny trajectory and profound characterization. Especially the three apprentices of Tang Seng, they not only represent different human nature, but also bear different missions and tests.
Let's take a look at Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, whose wishful golden hoop stick is not only his weapon, but also a symbol of his power and status. With his unparalleled combat effectiveness and ingenuity, Sun Wukong has become the main protector on the road to learning scriptures, and every battle he fights is a sanction for evil and a maintenance of justice. He was crowned the Buddha of Victory, which was the highest recognition of his bravery and wisdom.
Let's talk about Zhu Bajie, the humble Marshal Tianpeng, although he often seems greedy and lazy, he also has a credit that cannot be ignored. He is armed with a nine-toothed nail rake, although his combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Sun Wukong, but he can also stand up at critical moments and take on the responsibility of protecting the master and pacifying the monsters. Although his title may not be as loud, it is also in line with his role and contribution in the team.
Today we would like to make a special mention of Sha Wujing, a golden-bodied arhat who has gone through a lot of suffering but is often overlooked. The image of the Sand monk often gives the impression of being taciturn, loyal and reliable. His weapon, the Demon Scepter, seems simple, but in fact it contains great power and deep meaning. This scepter was originally made of Celestial Solo wood, and its texture was extremely hard, it could be expanded and contracted freely, and the size was determined by the heart, which was in response to the phrase "mana is boundless".
And the reason why Sha Wujing failed to obtain a higher title may be because his performance in the process of learning scriptures is more of silent dedication and firm protection. Although he does not often make military exploits like Sun Wukong, his steady personality and persistent efforts are an important force to support the entire team to travel west safely. Monk Sha's weapons were not used to show strength, but to symbolize his tenacity and patience, which is the deep reason why he was named a golden-bodied arhat. Although his credit is inconspicuous, he is an indispensable backbone of the team.
It has to be mentioned here that Sha Wujing's performance and his fate actually reflect an oriental heroic aesthetic - heroes are not judged by success or failure. In Western hero stories, heroes often prove their worth and status through battles and victories. In the oriental epic "Journey to the West", although Sha Wujing's military exploits are not obvious, his patience, persistence and selflessness are more profound heroic qualities. He does not seek to be famous, but only to silently protect the safety of his brothers and sisters, is this kind of inner tenacity and great love more worthy of our respect and learning?
As for the weapons of Monk Sha, we can further explore. The Demon Scepter is more than just a weapon, it's more of a spiritual symbol. On the whole way of learning scriptures, although Monk Sha does not often use it to perform the ability to cry ghosts and gods, every time he wields it, he is protecting faith and justice. It not only expels the demons and monsters on the road, but also maintains a kind of spiritual purity and team harmony.
Sha Wujing's character and his fate also give rise to some thought. In this world of struggle and competition, the presence of Sha Wujing seems to remind us that true strength does not always manifest itself in confrontation and subjugation. Sometimes, the real strength is patience and protection, the kind of strength that silently supports others behind the scenes. This power may not be immediately recognized, but its value is irreplaceable in the long run.
In this story, although each character has a different fate, together they form a colorful picture. Sun Wukong's enthusiasm and bravery, Zhu Bajie's humor and honesty, Sha Wujing's calmness and loyalty, these are all valuable assets given to us by "Journey to the West". Every character, regardless of status, has its own unique value and significance. Although Sha Wujing is ignored many times, without his steadiness and loyalty, can Tang monks and apprentices successfully complete the road of learning scriptures?
Although Sha Wujing does not have the earth-shattering record of Sun Wukong, nor does he have the likable sense of humor of Zhu Bajie, his tenacity, loyalty and selflessness are an important force to support the whole team forward. In this seeming by
