Please pay attention to it. Two robbers caught a female monk, and the other robber even savagely stripped her clothes, revealing half of her shoulders. But the female monk was always unmoved, clasped her hands together and muttered something.
You are right, this female monk is Master Xuanzang, which is Tang Monk in our Journey to the West. Japan is the first country where actresses are used to play Tang Monk for the first time, or in other words, they think Tang Monk should be a woman. So Journey to the West to obtain the scriptures is a story of a woman and three animals.
Don’t scold me for now. The Chinese people really misunderstood the Japanese Journey to the West Creation Group in 1978. Not only did they not vilify our classics, they also attached great importance to it and made a lot of innovations. Many places have borrowed their content from , Yang Jie, , the 86 version of Journey to the West directed by Yang Jie, .
Why did you use the female version of Tang Monk? Because they think that Tang Seng’s mother-in-law and mother are very compassionate, this is a characteristic of women in the Japanese nation.
In addition, the person who plays Tang Monk is Japanese actress Natsume Masako . Don’t just think of the "gun battle movie" in the island country, and the actress is not this actress. The actresses at that time refer to excellent actresses. For example, Masako Natsume is a well-known actress in Japan. Her performance in the 1978 version of Journey to the West was highly recognized by Japan and even Asia. In their eyes, the relationship between Masako Natsume and Tang Seng is just like the relationship between Chinese Liu Xiaolingtong and Sun Wukong , and people and characters are completely integrated.
Unfortunately, on September 11, 1985, she died of complications caused by leukemia at the age of 27.
Let’s take a tolerant attitude and see what’s outstanding about the female Tang Monk played by Masako Natsume and what’s the difference between it and the Chinese male Tang Monk.
In 620 AD, it was the time when Li Yuan and his father and son fought against him in the Sui Dynasty. As the saying goes, in peacetime, people are cattle and horses, and in wartime, people are cannon fodder. When dynasties changed, civilians were the ones who died and injured the most. The female Tang monk walked along the way and was sad all the way. She often grieves for the common people and wants to help them solve their pain.
In the West, the female Tathagata saw this melee situation in the Tang Dynasty, so she prepared to send the Tripitaka to Tang to appease the restless nation. The male Guanyin took the initiative to stand up and agreed to go to Chang'an to find the scholars.
Why is Japanese Guanyin a man? I believe everyone can understand this? In previous videos, Snail has told you many times that Guanyin in India is a big man with a small beard. It was only when it was introduced to China that it became a woman.
On the way to obtain the scriptures, Guanyin met Bajie , Sha Seng , Sun Wukong and Xiaobailong . This is also very different from the plot of the 86th version. We will talk about it later. Before Guanyin came to Chang'an, the female Tang monk was saying goodbye to Monk Faming and preparing to travel around to help the suffering people relieve their suffering. But Monk Faming gave her a letter, telling her about her bloody and tears. In this farewell scene, Masako Natsume performed it really touchingly.
After learning about her life experience, the female Tang Monk decided to go to Jiangzhou to see her mother first. The mother and son recognize each other and are crying with their heads in their arms, but the thief Liu Hong is back. I have to say that this Japanese version of Liu Hong is more like a water thief than Liu Hong from CCTV.
Mother quickly sent a letter to the female Tang Seng and asked her to find her father. So, what different happens after Prime Minister Yin leads his troops to kill him? Please see Episode 7 breakdown.
