Chinese will indeed fall in love with Monkey King repeatedly at different ages.
Recently, one of Sun Wukong's lines went viral on the Internet.
The dialogue is from the episode "Subduing the Jade Rabbit Spirit", Princess Tianzhu is overwhelmed by the Jade Rabbit Essence after changing into her own appearance, so she is heartbroken and wants to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake.
Sun Wukong, who was passing by, stopped her in time, but he didn't stand on the shore like many people, and blamed him unashamedly from the perspective of a bystander: "You think about your parents and your family, you haven't done your filial piety, how can you commit suicide?"”
Instead, he stood in the princess's shoes and asked with concern"Girl, you must have been greatly wronged. ”
In addition to verbal empathy, what is even more rare is that at the critical juncture of the princess's suicide, Brother Monkey also thought that his appearance would scare her, and deliberately became an amiable old woman first.
The thunderbolt means and the bodhisattva's heart are talking about our monkey brother.
When I was a child, I only knew that the great sage wielded the golden hoop stick was strong, and when I grew up, I found the softness under the tiger skin skirt of the elder brother.
But there is actually a lot more to the story of this monkey that we need to discover.
I remember watching "Journey to the West" before, how could I think of any hidden plot, just the thrill of eighty-one difficulties on the way to learn the scriptures, it was enough for us to lie in front of the TV all day long.
During this period, our love for Brother Monkey is probably because he is the backbone of the scripture-learning team.
In the play, Brother Monkey was driven away twice, first a little yellow-robed demon was able to arrest Tang Seng, and the second time there was a real and false Monkey King incident, and in the end, it was solved after Sun Wukong came back.
This also shows that there is no one else on the way to learn from the experience, at most there is a problem with the relationship within the team, but without the senior brother, the whole team is gone.
And our Monkey brother's contribution to the team is not only about protection, but also about emotional value.
As an apprentice, in addition to his responsibility to protect his master, he also has the love he has for his parents as a child.
When the master sewed a tiger skin skirt for him, he pricked his hand, and he hurriedly held it and blew it.
Before going out to find the immortal recipe to save the ginseng fruit tree, he also threatened Zhen Yuanzi to take care of his master: "You have to be good at life, three teas and six meals are indispensable, if you are hungry and thin, the old grandson will not spare you." ”
And even if he was wrongfully kicked out of the scripture-learning team, he did not forget to tell his juniors and disciples to protect **.
What's even more touching is that even if he left, when Bajie found him because of ** difficulty, he blurted out the sentence "Being in the Water Curtain Cave, the heart follows the scriptures monk".
These details all show Sun Wukong's care and love for Tang Seng, and when Tang Seng saw that Zhen Yuanzi was going to throw Sun Wukong into the oil pot, although he knew that Sun Wukong's skills were strong and not afraid, he was still worried and burst into tears, which shows that this relationship is a two-way street.
In addition, on the way to learn scriptures, it seems that Tang Seng taught Sun Wukong, but in fact, sometimes Sun Wukong persuaded Tang Seng.
Tang Seng was sad that the road ahead was difficult, and Sun Wukong comforted: "Master, as long as you are sincere, Lingshan is at your feet." ”
When they arrived at Lingshan, there was a boatman holding a bottomless boat to pick up the five masters and apprentices, Tang Seng was afraid, and Wukong guided: "* You didn't hear, the bottomless boat, so Pudu sentient beings." ”
After finally obtaining the true scriptures, the result is still a difficulty, so the four masters and apprentices fell into the clouds, the scriptures were wet, the master was worried that the scriptures were incomplete, Sun Wukong relieved: "Heaven and earth are incomplete, ** incomplete should also have incomplete reason, not human power can do it." ”
These words all reflect the great wisdom of Sun Wukong.
As a senior brother, Brother Monkey has a very good relationship with his junior brother.
and Zhu Bajie naturally love and kill each other, when the relationship between the two is good, they are "good brothers" and "virtuous brothers", and when they quarrel, they are "damn Bi Ma Wen" and "nerds".
But when it comes to the critical moment, they will definitely protect each other.
Tang Seng recited the mantra and injured Sun Wukong, and Bajie complained on the side.
And Bajie muttered a few words because of the Jade Emperor's treatment of Fengxian County, but was reprimanded by the Jade Emperor for "adding one degree to the crime".
Bajie didn't dare to say a word when he heard it, and Wukong immediately replied to the Jade Emperor: "I said, don't talk about old accounts!."”
Although Sha Seng and Bai Longma are not as close to Sun Wukong as Bajie, Sha Seng is out of the circle with the sentence "Senior Brother is right", and Bai Longma advised Bajie to find Sun Wukong after Tang Seng was killed, which also shows the respect of these two junior brothers for their senior brother.
It can be said that no matter which collective it is, if Sun Wukong is a leader, he will be much easier and happier.
When I was a child, every time I saw Sun Wukong wielding a golden hoop stick, soaring through the clouds and fog, chasing the wind and electricity, our eyes in front of the TV were shining.
Let's ask, who doesn't like such a reckless character, who can make trouble in the heavenly palace at the top, destroy the underworld at the bottom, and turn the world upside down?
But I didn't understand until I grew upIt turns out that Monkey King also suffered a lot of grievances before becoming Monkey King.
Speaking of which, our Brother Monkey is also from a bitter background.
The stone made a loud noise, and the stone monkey appeared on the stage, which looked amazing, but just like the Jade Emperor said: "The things below are born of the essence of heaven and earth, and they are not unusual." ”
At this time, Brother Monkey is completely a wild monkey, with no name, no surname, no relatives and friends, no ability and inaction, and no one cares at all.
But he has the intelligence and wit, courage and determination, hard-working and hard-working that he does not have.
For thousands of years, the waterfall on Huaguo Mountain has been flowing, and no monkey dares to jump into it.
It was he who jumped and found a "cave blessed land" in the water curtain cave.
Since then, he has become the king of monkeys and led a group of monkeys to live a free life.
And according to the general plot development, it's good to live such a happy life.
But the sudden death of an old monkey one day makes Goku worry that he and the monkey grandson will follow in his footsteps, so he has the idea of seeking the art of immortality.
Therefore, he resolutely abandoned the happy days of being the monkey king, "not under the jurisdiction of the unicorn, not under the control of the phoenix", and chose to support the bamboo raft to cross the ocean to find a teacher and learn art.
That year, he couldn't somersault clouds, so he could only drift on the vast sea, wandering in the hustle and bustle of the world.
Dongsheng Shenzhou, South Ganbu Continent, West Niuhe Continent, the little monkey sleeps in the cold all the way, not to mention all the hardships, and because he does not understand personnel, he can only Xi learn the human way of life, but he is constantly watched, disgusted and intimidated.
Because no one taught him to dress, eat, and hold chopsticks, he could only learn by himself, and even if he learned it, he was ridiculed and shouted as a monster by the villagers because of a monkey face.
And even after suffering so many grievances, after he finally met Patriarch Bodhi, he still did not forget his goal of learning and art, that is, to seek immortality.
Bodhi told him that these skills were hard to learn, but Wukong rose to the challenge and replied:"No matter how hard it is, I have to learn. ”
In the past, we only saw the Monkey King's vigorous posture and skills, but we don't know how much he suffered at the beginning of his studies.
As his ability became greater, he was finally targeted by Heavenly Court.
But even if he is capable, Sun Wukong, who was born at the bottom, is still looked down upon by the gods from above, calling him a wild monkey, and not even giving him a straight eye.
And the Jade Emperor seems to be kind to Zhao'an, and the position he was given in the end was only the lowest level of Bi Ma Wen, even if he later coaxed him to give the title of "Monkey King", he didn't give him the most basic employee benefits at all.
After knowing that he was mocked, Sun Wukong finally went down to the sky, and was cut by the chasing knife and thundered, and put in the alchemy furnace for 7749 days, and finally was backhanded by the Buddha and pressed under the Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years.
And when Tang Seng came to rescue him, he thought that he could escort the master to seek the true scriptures with his ability, but he was repeatedly scolded, as long as he did not conform to Tang Seng's wishes, he was scolded as a "stubborn", and he was driven out of the scripture team many times.
But even so, he was still positive and optimistic, escorted the master, and finally obtained the true scriptures.
From the nameless stone monkey to the Monkey King, and then to the Buddha who fights to defeat the Buddha.
A bad hand of cards is played to this point, and if you can not forget your original intention, it will be our monkey brother.
We always say that Sun Wukong is a superhero who is more suitable for Chinese babies, but most of them say that they are highly skilled, and there is an explanation of heroes that may make this dimension deeper.
Romain Rolland once said that there is only one true heroism in this world, and that is to recognize the truth of life and still love it.
And when we read Sun Wukong, we will find that he is the same.
Even though he has suffered so many grievances and tribulations along the way, the Great Sage is still smart and sober, kind and transparent, and full of love for all things in the world.
As at the beginning of the article, he saved the princess who committed suicide, and in many episodes, there is a reflection of his lover.
Passing by the Flaming Mountain, he would take out his little food and distribute it to the villagers.
When he heard that his master's house was plagued by famine, he gave his food to the children.
When passing by Che Chi Guo, when he saw the local monks who were **, he gave each person a hair, so that they shouted "Monkey King" at a critical time, and they would definitely appear to save them.
Especially the first visit to Fengxian County, which fully reflects our Brother Monkey's concern for the poor people.
Because the county lord of Fengxian County offended the Jade Emperor without knowing it, he was punished by the Jade Emperor, resulting in drought in the local area for many years, the five grains were exhausted, and the people were struggling to make a living.
This has nothing to do with Brother Monkey, but he just can't get used to injustices, so he deliberately went to the Jade Emperor to reason, and finally asked for rain for the local area.
What's even more surprising is that this monkey's sophistication is also top-notch.
He would teach the reckless eight commandments: "When you see a young person, call a girl, and when you see an old person, call a grandmother." ”
Originally, I was anxious that the master was captured by the monster, but after seeing that the Bodhisattva had not yet dressed up, he took the initiative to say that he could wait for the Bodhisattva to put on makeup before going out.
In order to protect the name of the Golden Saint Niangniang who was captured by the monster, the king was stung by Niangniang's Xia Yi in front of the public before explaining to everyone that Niang Niang had been unable to get close to the monster because of this Xia Yi.
Moreover, this kind of "kindness" is not the result of being "disciplined" after entering society.
Even when he didn't understand personnel, he would take the initiative to help the woman pick up vegetables and deliver clothes to the woodcutter, which shows his pure nature.
In addition to loving the world, in fact, what touches me more is that Brother Monkey also loves himself.
He is a "Puxin monkey" and will never be PUA by others.
After being summoned to the Heavenly Court, as a nether demon monkey, he did not have a trace of cowardice in the face of the immortals in the hall, but had the upper hand in momentum.
And on the way to learn the scriptures, he was said to be ugly, and he did not have the slightest inferiority.
The owner of Gao Laozhuang said that he was a "Lei Gongzui monk", and he didn't believe that he could catch demons, and Sun Wukong immediately retorted after hearing it: "I'll help you catch demons, what do you care about my appearance?"”
Even, this also caused him to be a little "vain", often boasting about his name as "Monkey King" and the past of "making trouble in the Heavenly Palace", and he would get angry when he met someone who didn't know.
But Sun Wukong is not unreasonable, he knows who is good for himself, so even if he is sometimes controlled, he is willing.
In fact, in addition to the real and false Monkey King and the three dozen white bone spirits who were expelled twice, after Tang Seng had just rescued Sun Wukong from the Five Elements Mountain, the two also had conflicts.
The farmhouse where the master and apprentice stayed overnight was robbed by three robbers, Wukong killed the bandits in a fit of rage, and was complained by Tang Seng that he killed, and Sun Wukong countered that "anyway, if the wicked people are not removed, they will harm the good people", but he still couldn't convince Tang Seng, so he left angrily.
While passing through the East China Sea, Sun Wukong thought about going to the Dragon King to ask for a glass of wine, and saw a painting of the three entrances of the bridge.
The Dragon King said that this painting is about the Han Dynasty's Huangshi Gong sitting on the bridge, deliberately throwing the shoes under the bridge three times to ask Zhang Liang to pick up, and Zhang Liang has always been very diligent, after picking up the shoes and kneeling for Huang Shigong to put on, so Huang Shigong praised him very much, so he gave Zhang Liang a copy of "Taigong's Art of War", so that he has the ability to strategize and win thousands of miles away.
The Dragon King advised Sun Wukong and said, "Great Sage, if you don't protect Tang Seng, don't work hard, and don't be taught, you are a demon fairy in the end. ”
After listening, Sun Wukong pondered for a long time, and finally decided to return to Tang Seng.
When he was a child, he loved Sun Wukong, and loved him for seventy-two changes, and his ability to somersault 108,000 miles was strong.
When he grows up, he loves Sun Wukong, loves him to make trouble in the heavenly palace, is jealous of evil, and is not afraid of power.
Now I love Sun Wukong, I love him, I know the gentleness and purity of the world, pity the grass and trees, pity the poor, care for the weak, and compassion for all beings.
It can be said that the character that the Chinese most yearn for and admire is concentrated in him.
With such a spirit monkey, it is no wonder that the Chinese have been loved by them from childhood to adulthood, for hundreds of years and thousands of years.
