The Dragon King of the East China Sea, one of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas in Chinese mythology and legend, is in charge of the waters of the East China Sea and resides in the Crystal Palace. He had four sons, namely Ao Guang, Ao Qin, Ao Shun, and Ao Bing. His image varies in different literary works, sometimes as a benevolent water god and sometimes as an arrogant dragon. He has been challenged twice by heroes with great powers, namely Nezha and Sun Wukong. Why are they all enemies of the Dragon King of the East China Sea?
Nezha is one of the traditional Chinese mythological stories, mainly taken from the mythological stories recorded in ancient books such as the Ming Dynasty gods and demons** "Romance of the Gods", "Journey to the West" and the Yuan and Ming Dynasty "Three Religions Sou Shen Daquan". In the story, because of the demon dragon, he killed the people and made waves, which led to Nezha's behavior of making trouble in the Dragon Palace. Nezha is the third son of King Tota Li, the third brother of Jinzha and Muzha, and the eldest ** of the immortal Taiyi Zhenren. He was born with divine powers, and at the age of three, he went to the sea, stepped on the Crystal Palace, and caught the dragon cramping and scraping the scales to make a tape. When the Dragon King of the East China Sea learned of this, he was furious and blamed Nezha's father, and then made waves, spitting out floods and flooding Chentang Pass. Little Nezha was reluctant to implicate his parents, so he disemboweled, cut out his intestines, deboned himself, and returned his muscles to his parents, and was reborn with the breath of lotus leaves and lotus, and became Nezha incarnated by lotus. Later, he made a big fuss in the East China Sea, smashed the Dragon Palace, captured the Dragon King, and eliminated harm for the people.
Sun Wukong's Havoc in the Palace is a storyline in "Journey to the West", which tells the story of Sun Wukong, who was dissatisfied with the treatment of the heavenly court, but made trouble in the heavenly palace and launched a fierce struggle with the gods. Sun Wukong is a monkey king born from a fairy stone, and later worshiped Bodhi Patriarch as a teacher, and learned seventy-two changes and somersault clouds. In order to find a worthy weapon, he went to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea and borrowed the Dinghai God Needle, which is the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick. The Dragon King held a grudge and reported to Heaven to demand the arrest of Sun Wukong. The Jade Emperor summoned Sun Wukong into the heavenly court and gave him the title of Bi Ma Wen. Sun Wukong was suspicious of the official, and returned to Huaguo Mountain, calling himself the Monkey King. The Jade Emperor sent heavenly soldiers and generals to arrest Sun Wukong, but he did not succeed, so he asked Sun Wukong to manage Pan Taoyuan. Sun Wukong secretly ate the peach, because the queen mother did not invite him to participate in the peach banquet, so he ruined the queen mother's peach banquet, and after escaping, he stole the golden pill of Taishang Laojun and returned to Huaguo Mountain. The Jade Emperor was furious and sent Li Tianwang to lead the heavenly soldiers to arrest himGuanyin Bodhisattva recommended Erlang Zhenjun to help in the battle;Taishang Laojun helped with a secret weapon on the side, and finally Sun Wukong was captured. Wukong was chopped by a knife and axe, burned by lightning, and even put a Dan furnace to exercise for 7749 days, but he was still fine, and he also practiced a pair of fiery eyes, and he was still fighting in the Heavenly Palace. In the end, it was the Jade Emperor who ordered to invite the Buddha, and the Buddha pressed Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain.
From these two stories, we can see that Nezha and Sun Wukong are both natural heroes, and they both have the character of not admitting defeat, the spirit of not being afraid of power, and the courage of not being afraid of difficulties. They are all enemies of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, because they are not used to the arrogance and cruelty of the Dragon King, they all want to remove the flood for the people, and they all want to maintain their dignity and rights. Their stories are not only vivid and imaginative, but also reflect people's yearning for justice and freedom, and their resistance to oppression. They are classic characters in Chinese myths and legends, and they are also cultural symbols of the Chinese nation, worthy of our admiration and Xi.
