Sun Wukong is one of the protagonists in "Journey to the West". I believe everyone is familiar with his main experience. He is nourished by the heaven and earth, emerges from the collapse of a rock, and becomes the Monkey King. In order to seek immortality, he climbed mountains and waded in rivers for more than ten years to reach Bodhi Patriarch. h At tml2, he became an immortal and was free from reincarnation. He was later recruited by the Heavenly Court, and then granted the official title of Bi Ma Wen. Because he was dissatisfied with his official rank, he rebelled against the lower realm and was called the Monkey King. He was recruited again, and was granted the official title of Monkey King, and was in charge of the Pantaoyuan. The anti-Tiangong was suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain, protected Tang Monk, and defeated the Buddha in a duel! This is a plot that almost everyone is familiar with, but when Sun Wukong was recruited by Heaven for the second time and took charge of the Peach Garden, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is somewhat meaningful. Where is it reflected? Let’s take a look!
Speaking of flat peaches, everyone should be familiar with it. Sun Wukong stole peaches and pills and stole the flat peach. But why did Sun Wukong take charge of the flat peach garden? What is the hidden meaning behind his taking charge of the flat peach garden? Everyone knows that this flat peach is the main food at the Queen Mother's Peach Festival. The original text reads: "On the left and right balconies and buildings, it is common to see clouds in the sky. It is not a common species in Xuandu, but is cultivated by the Queen Mother of Yaochi." Not only that, this The flat peaches were planted by the Queen Mother herself and are extremely precious. So what are the functions of these flat peaches? In the original article, the author quoted from the land of Pantaoyuan and once said: "There are 3,600 plants. The first 1,200 plants have tiny flowers and small fruits, which ripen once every 3,000 years. People who eat them will become immortals and become healthy and light." There are 1,200 trees in the middle, with layers of sweet and fruity flowers. They ripen once in six thousand years. People who eat the rosy clouds will ascend to immortality. The next 1,200 trees have purple-striped seeds and nine thousand trees. When the year is ripe, a person will live as long as the heaven and the earth, and the sun and the moon will have the same age. "This is the benefit of flat peaches. You can become an immortal, live forever, and live as long as the sky. It is good for those who have not attained enlightenment or those who have attained enlightenment." Whether they are immortals or not, they all have great temptations. There are a lot of people and demons with unworthy backgrounds, and there are a lot of immortals who are enlightened but have immortal lives! The role of Pantao is to enable these people to improve on their existing foundation! For everyone and all the immortals, its temptation cannot be overestimated!
After briefly understanding the role of Pantao, let’s look at the incident of Pantao Garden being hosted in Journey to the West. Before Sun Wukong took charge of the Peach Garden, what was he doing in the Heavenly Palace? Let’s look at the original text: "The Great Sage Qi Tian is actually a demon monkey. He doesn’t even know his official title or salary, but he only pays attention to his name. The two immortal officials under the Qi Tian Mansion are waiting in the morning and evening, and they only know about the solar eclipse. Three meals, one bed to sleep at night, nothing to worry about Hanging, free and easy. In the free time, I will visit the palace and make friends. Two yuan Chen, five directions and five elders, universal The stars of the sky and the gods of the river and the Han Dynasty all treat each other as brothers and call each other. Today they travel east and tomorrow they wander west. Change From a perspective, we can conclude that at that time, Sun Wukong not only did not know about his official rank, but he also did not know about the factions in the heaven and the officialdom disputes. Otherwise, he would not be able to make friends with every god, pay homage to every palace, and visit every cave. .Because in fact there is no one person who can be liked by everyone. This is true in the human world, and it may be the same in the heavenly world!
Based on this, let us carefully examine the matter of the Jade Emperor asking Sun Wukong to take charge of the Peach Garden. Sun Wukong had just arrived in the Heavenly Palace at that time (the first time he only raised horses, and his official rank was too low to participate in the struggle in the Heavenly Court, so he did not consider it). It was not very clear. How deep is the water in the Heavenly Palace? I don’t even know what the peach does. (Refer to what was mentioned above, he only knew the power of flat peach from the mouth of the land), so the Jade Emperor sent a person who did not know how powerful flat peach was to take charge of flat peach, which meant that flat peach would not be The person in charge used it for other purposes. If Sun Wukong hadn't been cheating and eaten all the ripe peaches, then the Jade Emperor's operation was actually very clever! Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, this flat peach was planted by the Queen Mother herself. Before Sun Wukong took it over, it had always been under the Queen Mother’s jurisdiction. It could almost be regarded as her private property! Because it was mentioned more than once in "Journey to the West" that the Queen Mother asked people to pick flat peaches, and then what happened, it can be easily concluded that the Queen Mother has the absolute right to use the flat peaches!
But after Sun Wukong took charge of the Peach Garden, The Peach Fair was held as scheduled. The Queen Mother sent people to the Peach Garden to pick peaches as usual, but this time the situation was different. Let's look at the original text: " The fairy in seven clothes came to the front of the garden gate, where she saw Pantaoyuan Tu, the powerful man, and the two immortal officials of Qitian Mansion, who were guarding the door. The fairy came forward and said, "We are here to pick peaches for a banquet on the orders of the Queen Mother." Fairy Tu Tu said. E, stay here. This year is no better than in previous years. The Jade Emperor is here to supervise the point difference. He must report it to the Great Sage. , before we dare to open the garden. "If we look at the land, "Today is different from the past." That is to say, when the Queen Mother of Qian sends people to pick peaches, they can go in directly, but after Sun Wukong takes over the peach garden, the Queen Mother's people cannot enter. I went to Pantaoyuan, and I didn’t dare to break in because Sun Wukong had just made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, so With the Jade Emperor simply letting Sun Wukong take charge of the flat peach garden, the flat peach, something that almost all immortals and people coveted, changed owners. The flat peach changed its owner. The former owner of the flat peach, the Queen Mother, naturally fell under the power of the Queen Mother. Moved, and the Jade Emperor blocked the Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, built a mansion for him on the edge of the Pantao Garden before he was in charge of the Pantao Garden. "A Monkey King's Mansion was built on the right side of the Pantao Garden", and then he let Sun Wukong take charge of the Pantao Garden. With a small move, the peach garden was taken away from the palace. It was really wonderful!
