What is Zhu Bajie s lineage and identity?

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-09

In "Journey to the West", it is said that Zhu Bajie "has a mouth that is three feet long at the beginning, and the fangs are out of the silver nails." A pair of round eyes are like electricity, and the wind is squeezing in both ears. The back of the head is long and lined with iron arrows, and the skin is rough and green. ”

It means that the mouth is very long, with fangs sticking out from both sides of the mouth, and a stiff and piercing mane on the back of the head, and the skin is rough and thick, and it is so black that it glows iron blue.

If you look at it this way, it should be a wild boar, because domestic pigs do not have fangs, and generally do not have long manes on their backs.

But Zhu Bajie himself said to Guanyin in the eighth round, "I am not a wild pig, nor am I an old man." It means that he is neither a wild boar nor an old sow.

The domestication of domestic pigs began in the Neolithic Age, and captivity began in the pre-Qin period, and pig castration technology was also invented in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. As for the time when Zhu Bajie went to the West with Tang Seng to learn scriptures, everyone knows that it happened during the reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Combined with the time of the four masters and apprentices studying scriptures in the west and Zhu Bajie's self-report, Comrade Wuneng is not a wild boar and has the characteristics of a wild boar, and it is likely to be a hybrid of a wild boar and a domestic pig. However, he denied it, saying that he was neither an old sow nor a wild boar, so there was only one possibility, he was a wild boar mixed breed and castrated boar.

Well, from this point of view, it is understandable that Zhu Bajie is lustful - a typical ** psychology is at work.
