Myths and stories in Chinese culture have always been an important part. Some people may think that the authenticity of the myth is debatable, but the reason why the Chinese nation has been able to have a civilization of 5,000 years is precisely because of the diversity of cultures.
Everything in the world has a reason, and if there is a lot of variety, there will be different sounds. As we know, there are many countries in the world that are rich in culture, such as in Europe and the United States, although some countries once belonged to the same region, but their cultures are also distinctive.
In the development of modern society, many countries have experienced separation and separation, and gradually formed nations with different cultures. Cultural differences may seem insignificant, but they have a profound impact on people's thinking.
Among the Chinese people, due to the significant differences in the folk customs of various ethnic groups, various views have gradually emerged. For example, in the case of mythological characters, some see them as spiritual pillars created by the author to save the suffering people in reality, while others see myths as just ethereal stories.
In mythological stories, the gods of Buddha, Demon Ancestor, Demon Ancestor and Taoist Ancestor have become well-known mythological figures. Their strength is regarded as the pinnacle, and whose strength represents the pinnacle needs to be analyzed in conjunction with the famous books they appeared.
If you want to talk about which character is the most well-known, it is undoubtedly the Buddha. His presence not only strengthened people's belief in the sacred sites of Buddhism, but also revealed some cruel phenomena in society.
As a character with many scenes in Journey to the West, the Buddha is often regarded as a symbol of goodness and justice.
Although the strength of the Buddha is unrivaled, the three characters of the Buddha of the Burning Lamp, the Buddha of Guiding and the Buddha Maitreya are also equally powerful, not inferior to the Buddha of the Buddha. It's just that in terms of popularity, they may be slightly inferior to the Buddha.
But each of these three Buddhas has its own unique abilities, the Buddha who burns the lamp represents the past, and the Maitreya Buddha is a symbol of the future. Despite this, none of them are as strong as the Buddha who exists to attract believers, and to some extent, he is also the founder of Buddhism.
In ancient times, when it came to Daozu, the name that people most often thought of must be Taishang Laojun. His name is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone knows it. Moreover, in the classic "Journey to the West", the depiction of Taishang Laojun is even more brilliant, and people can't help but fall in love with it.
Why can Taishang Laojun sit firmly on the throne of the first person of Dao Ancestor in the hearts of everyone?
The green cow spirit went down to make a rebellion, and the eighteen golden dansha could not suppress it. This once again proves the strength of Taishang Laojun, and his ** can become pivotal figures in the mortal world.
Even if the ** of Taishang Laojun is difficult to tame, there is still a key question that needs to be answered, that is, what does Taishang Laojun represent. So far, people have reached a consensus on the true body of Taishang Laojun, believing that he is a combination of the three Qingzhen people of Taoism, that is, the combination of Lingbao Daojun's original Tianzun and Taishang Laojun.
Compared to the Buddha and the Dao Ancestor, the Demon Ancestor's presence may be slightly lacking, but he is recognized as a god-breaking deity. Although he did not surpass that of the Buddha and the Taoist, this may be because his identity was too complex and there was a lot of controversy.
Regarding the identity of the Demon Ancestor, people have different opinions, and some ** writers even think that his real body is Luo Yu, because the battle with Hongjun Daozu left a deep impression in people's hearts.
Whether in the real world or the fantasy world, people always pay attention to the winner, and Luo Yu, who performed well in battle, unfortunately lost to Hongjun Daozu. This defeat established his position later, but there is also a theory that the ancestor of the demon world is the true identity of the demon ancestor.
But if this statement is true, then the real Demon Ancestor should have died in the Great War of Gods and Demons. No matter how glorious the historical record is, with the passing of life, all glory will disappear.
However, some people believe that Chi You, who fought hard against Emperor Xuanyuan, is the real Demon Ancestor. In short, the identity of the Demon Ancestor has always been a controversial issue, not as clear as the Buddha and the Dao Ancestor.
The former Nuwa Demon Ancestor, after the death of the older generation of Demon Ancestors, inherited the name and status of the Demon Ancestor. However, it is said that the Heavenly Court she established was far superior to the Heavenly Court built by the Jade Emperor in terms of overall ability.
Despite this, bad luck, this powerful heavenly court eventually disappeared into the tunnel of time. Different roles are good at different things.
If you insist on comparing the level of strength, it may make some people feel dissatisfied. For example, if the Buddha and Chiyou are allowed to fight, the result will undoubtedly be that Chiyou will lose the battle.
Because the history of his defeat by Emperor Xuanyuan has always been a black history that he cannot erase.
If Nuwa is allowed to face off against the Buddha, the result may still be that the Buddha is slightly superior, but this is only a personal opinion. However, when the belligerent character is replaced by Taishang Laojun, the ending may be different, because the power of the three-body integration cannot be ignored.
In addition, according to the evaluation of the older generation of masters, the Sanqing Dao Ancestor is recognized as a strong man, and even if he receives the Buddha, he must pay homage to him.
The profound heritage of China's thousand-year-old culture, as well as the influence of myths and characters, cannot be eliminated by changing the ranking.
