What does the original Monkey King really look like? No wonder Bajie said that he was not as good lo

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-03-04

Regarding Sun Wukong's appearance, I believe many people are already very clear. It's actually a very ugly monkey. Zhu Bajie once said that Brother Monkey is not as good-looking as me. And Zhu Bajie is recognized by everyone as an ugly pig. So the question is, what does the monkey look like to be able to make Zhu Bajie confident? Look at a few details.

Detail 1: The evaluation of the patriarch.

First of all, let's take a look at how Patriarch Bodhi describes Sun Wukong, many people say that Patriarch Bodhi says that Monkey King is a monkey. Yes, this is really not, we can look at the original text.

Though your body is ugly, you are like a pine-cone eater.

We know that the patriarch is a great man who has attained the Tao. This kind of person basically won't speak so directly, especially when talking about a person's appearance, but if he can say that you have an advantage, he will say your advantage. But Sun Wukong's merits may not be at all, so he can only say that Sun Wukong looks like a monkey, and the key is that he is a little ugly. It's basically equivalent to pointing at Sun Wukong's nose and saying that he is ugly.

Detail 2: Tang Seng's evaluation.

Let's take a look at how Tang Seng described Sun Wukong. This can only be said to be quite unfriendly.

The pointed mouth is shrunk, and the golden eyes are fiery. There is less hair and more grass on the sideburns, and there is no need for green sha under the chin. The soil between the eyebrows, the nose is concave and muddy, very embarrassing;

We know that when Sun Wukong met Tang Seng, he had been suppressed under Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years. In these 500 years, I have not had a haircut, and I have not compared myself. So Sun Wukong at this time is really ugly. According to this statement in the book, Sun Wukong is really a monkey with sparse hair. The key is also to say that he has a sharp beak and monkey gills, which basically you can also understand as saying that he is an ugly monster.

Detail 3: Gao Taigong's evaluation.

How do you know that here in Gao Laozhuang, after Master Gao saw Sun Wukong, he was almost scared away by Sun Wukong. So what did he say about Sun Wukong's appearance at this time?

There is an ugly and weird son-in-law in the family who can't get away, why did he lead this Lei Gong to harm me?

You must know that this old man Gao has also eaten and seen the lord, at least Zhu Bajie's respect, he doesn't know how many times he has seen it. But after seeing Sun Wukong, he still feels very scared, which really shows that Zhu Bajie looks a little better than Brother Monkey. And this old man, one of the evaluations of Sun Wukong is a Lei Gong.

Comprehensive evaluation: A monk with a hairy face and a thunderous mouth.

Therefore, if you make a comprehensive evaluation of Sun Wukong, this is a monk with a hairy face and a thunderous mouth. Basically, we can see many people commenting on Sun Wukong in the follow-up plot, which can be said to be a consensus. In addition, Sun Wukong's height is not particularly tall, almost only about one meter three. In this case, when others see Sun Wukong, they will indeed think that this is a very ugly monkey with little ability. If it weren't for the fact that he was holding his two-meter-long tight stick, it is estimated that this deterrent effect would be even less. Now you know why the monsters on the way to the scriptures look down on monkeys, right? If Sun Wukong changes when he is fine, everyone will still be afraid of him, and few people are afraid of him in his normal form now.
