Modern people always bring these utilitarian things to love.
Chasing a girl, how expensive flowers and gifts to give are a lot of care;If you love someone, you must have a car and a house to spend your life together.
Now you, will you still do one thing and love someone?
This may be difficult for us, but in "Journey to the West", someone has done it.
Surprised?Speaking of emotional dramas, in the famous works of Western University, everyone often uses "Dream of Red Mansions" as the blueprint. And today, I want to talk about the other side of the well-known story of learning scriptures from the West. First of all, it is the popular story, "Fun through the Daughter Country".
In the 86 TV series version of "Journey to the West", the section of "Interesting Passage to the Daughter Country", the story portrayal is full, and the plot is full of ups and downs, far surpassing Wu Chengen's original work.
In the original work, the queen has not yet seen the master and apprentice of Sanzang, so she first issued a letter of appointment, saying that there has been no man in the daughter country since ancient times, and now there is a royal brother of the Tang king, it is better to recruit him as the king, give birth to children and grandchildren, and pass on the emperor's business forever, and political expectations overwhelm emotional appeals.
But in the TV series, the queen fell in love with Tang Sanzang first, and then wanted to pay him for her family and country.
When she first saw Tang Seng, she fell in love at first sight. He stepped forward and called his name three times in a row, and she was so enchanted that she forgot to answer in a dream. Recently, the Taishi called "Your Majesty" again, and she woke up like a dream, withdrew her eyes, and said solemnly: "Quickly invite the monk to take a seat." ”
He sat down, but he lost his mind for a moment when he first looked at her. The two asked and answered a few back and forth, and the attentive queen asked Tang San about the surname of the common family, and he replied: "The surname of the common family is Chen." Perhaps by this time, she had already moved her mind to marry him.
That night, the queen confided in the princess, saying that she was willing to recruit him as the king and she as the queen. Her beautiful face was full of girlish shame and joy.
That night, she had a dream in which they raised their eyebrows and groomed in the mirrorRiding horses and galloping through the grasslands;Snuggle up to each other and enjoy the scenery of the imperial garden, and the years are quiet.
The queen's love is a passionate and lonely bravery. Once you fall in love, you trust completely. The estrangement of religious identity is not a problem, and the family and the country can pay for him.
The queen is like this, and what does Tang Sanzang think?Tang Sanzang in the TV series, after several dodges, finally moved. In the original work, Tang Sanzang's emotions are much stronger.
He's not a shy little boy. In fact, before arriving in the country of his daughter, he had already been tested by many life and death calamities, and resisted the beauty of the banshees from all walks of life. But in front of her, the weakness was revealed.
The master and apprentice were worried that the queen had bad intentions, so they pretended to accept the marriage contract. Who knew that when she first saw her, "her eyebrows were like green feathers and her muscles were like mutton fat", she called him loudly in the crowd, Tang Sanzang's face was red, and he refused to raise his head in shame. The queen went up to her and grabbed him. At this time, Tang Seng "trembled and couldn't stand, as if he was drunk and infatuated".
If the heart is like a rock, where can it be "drunk and obsessed"?
Sun Wukong reminded him to accept the queen and act according to the plan, "The elder didn't dare to reply, wiped the walker twice, and couldn't stop crying." ”
Heartbeat is real, and so is deceiving her. The instant joy of the queen is nothing more than to exchange her for a customs clearance paperwork. He was in great pain before he burst into tears.
In the next story, the original Wu Chengen was vague because he was worried about the name of "slandering the monk";But in the TV series, the plot has a small climax. In the beautiful spring light of the imperial garden, in the warm yellow candlelight of the palace in the middle of the night, she asked him repeatedly. "If you open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe you're empty-eyed. ”
And after a few hesitations and struggles, he finally sighed: "I just open my eyes to see you, what can I do?"In the next life, if there is fate......”
She said firmly: "I only want this life, not the next life!".”
His heart softened and he sat beside her. What started as a dodge turned into a gaze.
At this time, the demon wind blew, and the pipa spirit took Tang Seng captive. In a dilemma, fate made a choice for the authorities.
When the apprentices rescued Tang Seng, they returned to calm and left. Before leaving, he arched his hand to the queen and said, "Your Majesty, please go back, and let the poor monk learn the scriptures." As a monk, he was supposed to bow his palms together, but as an ordinary man, he bowed to her.
The queen treats each other with a pure heart;If Tang Seng is unmoved, he is ruthless and unrighteous. How can a ruthless and unrighteous person have a Buddha heart?Without the heart of the Buddha, how can we talk about learning scriptures and how can we talk about becoming a Buddha?
Some people say that the daughter country section is the biggest test for Tang Seng in the whole "Journey to the West". Difficulties and obstacles can be overcome, monsters and beasts can be dispersed, only to recover a heart that has been messed up, let him admit that the mission of this life is to give up the small self and take the big self, which is the most difficult.
When I was young, "Journey to the West" was the four famous books I read the least times. Because I feel that this is nothing more than a story of fighting monsters, it is not as far-reaching as "Three Kingdoms", nor is it lingering and sympathetic in "Red Mansion".
Later, I learned that in fact, the story of learning scriptures from the west is not only about immortals and demons. It is the fierce conflict between reality and ideals, the intertwined minions of personal efforts and fate, and the lingering affection that cannot be sought.
These tastes that I didn't read back then, but also after I read another book about the scriptures of the West"The Legend of Wukong" where is nowAfter that, there is a taste.
Now He is saying that "Journey to the West" has never been a mediocre story of talking, laughing and fighting monsters, but a group of people on the road, looking for the ideals they lost back then. So, according to his understanding, he wrote the story.
In the book, Sun Wukong is a rebel who lost his memory after **;Tang Seng is a skeptic of the Nyorai Buddhism;And Bajie is an affectionate man who seems to have no heart and no lungs, but is actually burdened with painful memories of his previous life. They all have their own regrets in their lives, but they also have their own perseverance.
Take Bajie as an example, he was originally the marshal of Tianpeng, and the goddess of the moon was his lover. At the peach event, the queen mother was angry because Sun Wukong stole the peach and punished the fairy who was responsible for guarding the peach orchard. None of the gods dared to speak, but the goddess of the moon left her seat and bowed down to intercede for her. The Queen Mother ignored it and let Yue kneel on the temple alone. At this time, Tianpeng stepped forward and helped Ah Yue up.
Because of their disobedience, the Queen Mother Jade Emperor punished them to be separated forever, and sent the mighty and handsome Tiancang down to the mortal world to be a pig. Ah Yue burst into tears and secretly fed Tianpeng a pill to let him lose the memory of his past life and avoid the pain.
From the immortal well, the canopy fell into the fairy world and threw itself into the body of a pig. At the moment when he fell to the mortal dust, he staggered out of the pig pen and spit out the pill that Ah Yue had fed from his mouth.
He would rather bear pain in this life than forget his lover in his previous life. Even if this relationship is destined to be defeated by reality, he will treasure it.
Even if you end up losing it, it's better than not having it;Even if you are doomed, it is better than not trying.
Journey to the West is like this, and so is reality;Love is like this, and so is life.
Success or failure is not the most important thing, and you most likely will not succeed. The point is, when you know that, you don't want to pursue it.
In the face of the times, in the face of life, we will all grow old eventually. This is our fate, we can't choose, we can't turn back. The only thing you can do is to move forward bravely, do your best, and live this life wonderfully.
