In "Journey to the West", as the only person among the four masters and apprentices who has fully experienced the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, Tang Monk can be said to be the person who is most like the son of the Mandate of Heaven.
He has no power to bind the chicken, but he carries a deadly body of "Tang monk meat" through the strange sea of demons, like a Buddha feeding a tiger; he has been in danger many times, but he can always be saved by various gods and immortals at the most critical time, and there is no danger; he is also handsome and handsome, and has become the ideal husband that countless beauties are chasing, and the winner of a proper life.
Although he encountered countless beauty temptations, Elder Tang always kept in mind the teachings of Teacher Guanyin, and a hundred flowers passed by, and the leaves did not linger. , with a polite sentence of "female bodhisattva" to turn away many red and pink skeletons, I do my own Yanagishita Hui, let you east, west, south and north wind, really can be called "the wind should be long things to look at".
But only once, Tang Monk seemed to have really moved his heart, that is, when facing the golden-nosed white-haired mouse essence, he actually said that he leaked his mouth and called the other party "Niangzi"!
Why?
In fact, the reason is very simple, because after 14 years of taking the scriptures, only the white-haired mouse essence is from the heart, purely likes the Tang monks, without any impurities! Tang Monk felt this and was also moved, thus moving his heart!
In the 2011 Zhang Jizhong version of "Journey to the West", in order to cater to the market, the story of Tang Monk and the white-haired mouse spirit evolved into a love story that can be sung and wept, three lives and three lives, and ten miles of spring wind is not as good as you:
The white-haired mouse essence was originally the Buddha's "pet" when he sat down, but the little goblin was a foodie, and when he was hungry, he stole the lamp oil of Lei Yin Temple, and was caught by the golden cicada in the past life of the Tang monk. The golden cicada was kind by nature, and seeing that this snack was also strange and pitiful, he extinguished a lamp and gave her all the lamp oil.
Later, the golden cicada was demoted to the netherworld, and the white-haired rat spirit also followed, staying on the way to learn the scriptures, for a lifetime, only to meet the right person, and then finally waited for the Tang monk, so they arrested him and married him, vowing to repay the favor.
Such an adaptation, the logic is smooth, but the original work of "Journey to the West" has been changed beyond recognition, so it has been unanimously criticized by the majority of netizens. However, if we carefully analyze the "flowers" of the Tang monks, we will find that such an adaptation actually has a certain reason.
Because the golden-nosed white-haired mouse spirit was the only one who loved Tang Monk wholeheartedly!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > mouse spirit from an emotional point of view: her starting point for the Tang monk is the purest</h1>
In "Journey to the West", there are five women (demons) who have expressed their feelings for Tang Monk and want to make a promise to each other.
The first is the apricot fairy, the second is the king of the daughter country, the third is the scorpion essence, the fourth is the golden-nosed white-haired mouse essence, and the fifth is the jade rabbit essence.
These five people's feelings for the Tang monks were different.
Let's start with the king of the daughter country.
This queen is not like the film and television drama written, is the beauty of the Tang monk, thus evolving a "quietly ask the holy monk, the daughter is not beautiful" of the "daughter love" sadistic love, the reason why she likes the Tang monk, in fact, is very simple - the Tang monk is from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, is the eastern emperor, the heavenly khan Li Shimin's royal brother!
In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, the military ghost Li Erlang swept through the western regions of the grasslands with thunderous means, and with an open mind and courage, created a scene of a prosperous heavenly dynasty, and the people of the whole of Asia were proud to be relatives and people of the Tang Dynasty, and the queen of the Western Liang Kingdom was also the same.
You know, when the queen had the idea of marrying Elder Tang, she had never seen Tang Monk himself! All she had in mind was "Daddy Tang", not "Brother Royal Brother".
In the original book, it is written like this:
(The temple) asked, "What is the matter with the eunuch?" Yi Cheng said, "Wei Chen is in Yi, and he has received Tang Sanzang, the royal disciple of the Tang Dynasty King of Dongtu, and has three apprentices, named Sun Wukong, Pig Wuneng, Sha Wujing, and five mouths of lian ma, who want to go to the Western Heavens to worship the Buddha and learn the scriptures..." The queen heard the song and was full of joy: "The man of the Eastern Soil is the royal brother of the Tang Dynasty... Fortunately, the imperial disciple of the Tang Dynasty descended, thinking that it was a gift from Heaven..."
Whoever can become the queen of a country can be confused by the male sex, saying that the heavens and the earth are long, and they are not all rich for the sake of royal power.
The reason why Scorpion Essence married Tang Monk was also very simple, just because she was lonely for a while, she wanted to find a partner and spend the rest of her life together:
"I am a Taoist companion with you, and I am really a hundred years old and harmonious."
What the Jade Rabbit Spirit is looking at is not spiritual love, but the flesh of the Three Tibetan Masters——
It is mentioned twice in the Journey to the West that the Jade Rabbit Spirit forced Tang Monk to become a relative in order to adopt Tang Monk's Yuanyang and become Taiyi Shangxian. As for what Is Yuanyang? I won't dwell on it here...
Speaking of apricot blossom fairy, it is a pure soy sauce. In ancient China, peach blossoms and apricot blossoms were "obscene", such as Li Yu's "Casual Love":
"Whoever plants apricots falsely, ties them to the tree with the skirt that is often tied by the virgin, and the fruit is full of fruit... It is the tree of the adulterer, and there is no one more than the apricot, and it is called the merry tree."
To the effect that a girl's skirt is tied to an apricot tree and bears full fruit. Therefore, the appearance of the apricot blossom fairy is only to satisfy the imagination of the bored student Wu Cheng'en and the beautiful woman of the Chat Zhai style.
Only the white-haired mouse essence really liked Tang Monk. She would not be like the apricot blossom fairy and the jade rabbit essence, single-mindedly for pleasure, nor would she be like the scorpion essence, who tied up the Tang monk and threw it aside when her words were wrong. Tang Monk was cared for in her bottomless pit of hollow mountains.
She did not bind the Tang monks, but placed him in a beautiful house, the table was intimately filled with vegetarian dishes, or equivalent to the emperor's treatment of eighteen flavors of seasonal fruits, twenty pins of vegetables! The rat spirit was afraid that the water in the cave was not clean, and specially arranged for someone to go to the distant mountain to fetch the cleanest water to cook for the Tang monks.
Tang Monk was unwilling to give herself a promise, and she was not angry, but laid out the facts and reasoned, courteous and courteous, very patient, and simply a warm woman in the world.
Even Sun Wukong saw it and pinched a handful of sweat:
In addition, in the earlier engravings of "Journey to the West", the Jinling Collection of the Twenty Years of the Ming Wanli Calendar and the Commentary of Li Zhuowu, the love of the white-haired rat spirit for the Tang monks is clean.
However, in the Qing Dynasty, the literati probably felt that the appearance of such a pure female demon was insulting to the holy monk, so they forcibly attached the sinister thoughts of the jade rabbit essence to the white-haired mouse essence. As a result, in the Qing engraving we see today, the mouse spirit also kidnapped Tang Monk in order to get Tang Monk's Yuanyang to become Taiyi Golden Immortal.
The so-called dog-tailed sable, but so. The white-haired rat essence was really more wronged than Dou E.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > mouse essence from the leading edge of the dream: "Blue Bridge Water Rises" see affection</h1>
So, why did the white-haired rat spirit like Tang Monk so much? In fact, as Zhang Jizhong's version of "Journey to the West" said, the two had a past life marriage.
In the original work, Sun Wukong transformed Ji into a peach into the belly of the white-haired mouse spirit, and she frightened her soul into scattering, hugged Tang Monk and said something like this:
The leading edge of the world is tied with red rope, and the fish and water phase and the two meanings are thick. Unexpectedly, the Mandarin Duck is now broken up, and the Luan Phoenix is west and east! The blue bridge is difficult to achieve, and the temple will be empty. I want to say goodbye today and meet you again in what year!
In this passage, it can be said that it is full of imagery.
According to the white-haired mouse spirit, the marriage between the two was predestined in a previous life and tied with a red rope. The two not only have the name of husband and wife, but also the reality of husband and wife, and have had the "joy of fish and water". Moreover, the word "and" appears many times in the poem, which shows that this is not the first time that the two have separated.
The story of the blue bridge rising in the poem is even more of a finishing touch. The allusion to the rise of the water in the Blue Bridge comes from the "Zhuangzi Thief", saying that the tail life and the woman met and met at the blue bridge, but the woman has not come, the water is rising, the tail life is unwilling to leave, and finally dies in the water.
That is to say, the two people not only had marriages in their previous lives, but also met to see each other again in this life, but unfortunately the lover was intentional and the Dharma was ruthless.
"Journey to the West" does not write the story of the past life of the two, but only tells the history of the two through poetry and the mouth of Nezha and others.
The white-haired rat essence was driven down because he stole the Buddha's fragrant flower treasure candle when the Buddha sat down, while the Golden Cicada in the previous life of the Tang monk was beaten into the tenth reincarnation because the Buddha sat down to "despise the Buddha's great teachings".
According to Sun Wukong, when Tang Monk listened to the Buddha's teachings in his previous life, he dropped a piece of rice under his left foot and was relegated to mortal dust, so which animal loves rice the most?
As a result, the two were driven out of bounds together, and the golden cicada was punished so severely. The implication is that it is worth playing.
In addition, according to The Buddhist records, the prototype of the golden cicada, Shakyamuni's second disciple, Mu Qianlian, also had a vigorous secular love story before taking refuge in the Buddha.
It is precisely because of this that the Tang monks who have gone through the tenth reincarnation have more or less retained some memories of their past lives in their subconscious, which has led to the fact that he has sacrificed countless firsts here in the white-haired rat spirit.
For example, when she first met the mouse spirit, she pretended to be a woman tied to a tree, and after Tang Monk forced Sun Wukong to save her, Sun Wukong made it bad and suggested that Tang Monk ride a horse with her. Elder Tang, who had always cared about the incompatibility of men and women, actually hesitated for a long time...
After coming to the Zhenhai Zen Temple, Elder Tang was delirious and unstable, still thinking of bringing food to the rat jing.
When the white-haired rat spirit killed people and Sun Wukong went to catch the mouse essence, Elder Tang showed for the first time his virgin heart for the goblin: Forgive people and spare people, this monster you don't fight...
Later, when he was taken into the cave, Sun Wukong suggested that he go into the goblin's belly to torture him, and Tang Monk even scolded Wukong for being "an improper son of man"—this was the most vicious national curse essence in ancient times, but now it was used for the first time on Sun Wukong.
Until later, after drinking a cup of wine with the white-haired mouse, Tang Monk blurted out the word "niangzi"... (I used to call her Little Sweetie, but now of course I have to call her Lady.) ）
It can be seen that Tang Monk was really moved by the white-haired rat spirit. The peach blossom is still there, and liu lang has come again.
It is no wonder that Sun Wukong is worried about the master, "Xiang Piaolan Musk is full of robes", what can't go through is gentle township, who cares if it is a hero tomb or not.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > addendum</h1>
Speaking of white-haired mouse essence, there is one more detail:
In "Journey to the West", the white-haired mouse spirit has a lot of elegant names, the nickname of "Lady Diyong" explains the characteristics of her species, the title of "Concubine" indicates her fierce nature, and "half-cut Guanyin" means that she is actually a half-sacred body.
As we all know, in ancient China, only literati with fame and social recognition were eligible to take many elegant titles, such as Qian Qianyi Muzhai , in their later years , Mu Weng , Daiyun Old Man , Dongjian Widow , etc. Feng Menglongbei Long Ziyu , Wu Xia Zi Nu , former Zhou Zhu Shi .
In "Journey to the West", no woman, including the immortals, can have as many nicknames as the white haired mouse essence, which is enough to explain what kind of status the white haired mouse essence has with Rulai as the teacher and The King of Tota as the father.
But even with such a high status, all she had in mind was the agreement of her past life, only the monk who was tied to the other end of the red rope and was doomed to no chance.
Ask what the world is!
