There are a lot of trivia in Journey to the West, let's see how much you know, right? What do you say about this trivia? Maybe it's not useful, but when you think about it, sometimes it's interesting.
Cold knowledge 1: What were the twenty-eight constellations doing when Sun Wukong was haunting the Heavenly Palace
We know that when Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, many immortals were beaten and closed. However, as an important combat corps of Heavenly Court, none of the 28 stars came out. The main reason is that these immortals have something to do. Take a look at the time when Sun Wukong was suppressed under Wuzhi Mountain.
In the early years, I heard the old man say that when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the sky descended on this mountain, and a divine monkey was pressed down, not afraid of cold and heat, and did not eat and drinkIf you speculate from this time, then these 28 immortals should be in the lower world. They have become the 28 generals of Yuntai, so naturally there is no way to stop Sun Wukong from making trouble in the Heavenly Palace. No wonder Heavenly Court's defense was so weak in the first place. It turned out that many generals had gone out, otherwise, Sun Wukong would not have entered the Lingxiao Hall so easily.
Trivia 2: Sha Seng was punished lightly
Sha Seng was a close confidant of the Jade Emperor, but he was punished for a small mistake. And they were punished heavily. We can take a look at the book, and the monk himself said so.
Just because I broke the glass cup by mistake at the Pan Tao Meeting, the Jade Emperor beat me eight hundred, degraded to the lower realm, and became like this. Once again for seven days, I will pass the flying sword through my chest more than 100 timesDo you feel that after seeing this place, you will feel that the Jade Emperor seems to be inhuman? His cronies are willing to do such a scourge. In fact, you really blame the Jade Emperor a little bit, if the Jade Emperor really dealt with it impartially, this sand monk would be killed directly. Let me give you the simplest example.
In the Han Dynasty, there was a Marquis of Jiangyang, which should be regarded as the middle and high-level of an empire, right? But how did this man die? Mainly because he was holding the emperor's frame. I accidentally broke the wheels of the car. was forced to commit suicide. Seeing what happened to this person, do you think the punishment for Sha Seng is really heavy? Doesn't it feel a little lighter?
Cold knowledge 3: Bajie once made trouble in the heavenly palace
When it comes to making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the first thing that many people think of is Sun Wukong, in fact, Zhu Bajie also made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, and the movement was very big. Let's take a look at what Zhu Bajie himself said?
The color gall is like the sky and thunder, almost shaking the sky. A mouthful of arched the bullfighting palace and ate the queen mother's lingzhi vegetablesSeeing it, he almost demolished the palace of the Jade Emperor. In fact, this shows a problem, Zhu Bajie was demoted to the mortal world, not because he was molesting Chang'e, after all, as the commander of Tianhe's naval army, this matter really didn't degrade him to the lower realm, and it didn't let the Jade Emperor personally beat him. Therefore, the most reasonable explanation is that he made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and made such a big disturbance, and was finally disposed of by the Jade Emperor himself.
Trivia 4: The monsters on the way to learn the scriptures are not afraid of Wukong because the monkeys are relatively short
Have you found that many monsters on the way to learn the scriptures are actually not afraid of Sun Wukong. One of the most important reasons is because Sun Wukong is too short. We can take a look at the cave owner of the water dirty cave, what does he say about Sun Wukong?
Thou art less than four feet old, thou art no more than thirty years old, and thou hast no weapon in thy hand, how bold and rampant thou shalt thou seek out what I see.This so-called four feet is actually our current one meter three. A monkey who is less than 1.3 meters tall stands in front of you and says that he wants to kill you, and to be honest, it is really easy for many monsters to look down on him. It can be said that if this monster has no knowledge, then after seeing the Great Sage, he definitely feels that he can stabilize the Great Sage. But the monsters who know Sun Wukong's prestige actually respect him more.
