The recent popular movie " Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World ", turned the third prince Nezha , who was originally incarnated by the screenwriter's mind, and turned it into a devil Child Comes into a devil Child Comes into a devil's life, but this idea is quite novel and well received by the public, and Hongchen Jun is also very popular.
However, the second protagonist of the play, the third prince of the Dragon King Ao Bing has changed to a bigger change . This unlucky child who was only beaten to death by Nezha's relaxed world in the original plot and peeled off and cramped, transformed here into a cold look like a young master of the turbid world, which is quite like " people on the street are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled ". I don't know how many female fans have attracted the attention of them.
But unfortunately, Hongchen Jun is not the kind of soft girl who shines with her eyes when she sees handsome guys. As a high-quality creator of literature and history ( A Ye, who is scolding me...), we must always maintain the habit of " seeing the essence of through phenomena", even if it is an animation!
And on Ao Bing, in his father East China Sea Dragon King Ao Guang's roar and the roars of countless dragon tribes around him, I seemed to hear the oppression and heavy burden that an ancient clan had been carrying for thousands of years.
—Isn’t this the local clan culture that has mixed praises and criticisms for thousands of years but is extremely heavy?
However, before introducing the clan system specifically, let’s briefly introduce Ao Bing and the origin of the dragon clan.
Introduction to the Ao Family
In fact, we are not unfamiliar with the dragon clan. In the famous 83rd version of Journey to the West, Ao Guang, led by the Dragon King of the East Sea, appeared many times, but they all existed as the background character "bullying and teasing" by the Monkey King. Even their treasure of the Sea Dinghai Ding Needle was used as a weapon by the Sun Dasheng , and he also changed his name to " Ruyi Golden Cudgel ".
is really a great shame for the dragon clan of the Four Seas, but the four dragon kings dare not do anything together. Who made the fist not hard? In the end, he could only go to the Heavenly Court to complain and ask the Jade Emperor to help capture the demon monkey.
. This East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang, who is sometimes cute and sometimes aggrieved, is Ao Bing's father, and Tang Xuanzang's white dragon horse is the third prince of West Sea Dragon King Ao Run - don't mess with this. These three princes are not the third prince, but the two are indeed uncle brothers .
and The four brothers of the Four Seas Dragon King guard the four seas in the southeast, west and northwest respectively. Among them, the eldest East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang has the strongest ability, which is the Azure Dragon, water attribute, and the main rain; the second old South Sea Dragon King Ao Qin has the red dragon, fire attribute, and fire control; the third old West Sea Dragon King Ao Run has the black dragon, wind attribute, and wind power; the fourth old North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun has the white dragon, ice attribute, and ice control.
It can be seen that the Dragon King of the Four Seas is actually a rigorous and complex organization that cooperates with each other and controls all the weather in the world. Therefore, the people must always worship it for good weather.
It can be said that in the agricultural civilization, they are the gods with the closest relationship with the people. Even the totem of our Chinese civilization is a dragon, and the high emperor is also called the true dragon emperor, wearing a dragon robe and sleeping in a dragon chariot.
Dragon Totem
Now everyone should have a rough understanding of Ao Bing’s family background, right? Next, let’s talk about the clan culture in Chinese history.
The long-standing clan culture
clan, also known as family, is a social organization and group formed by a family-based, blood-related relationships as the bond, geographical relationships as the basis, and combined in accordance with certain norms.
is a social organization that is naturally and spontaneously formed. It is backgrounded by Confucian culture and supplemented by part of the theocracy, covering the political, economic, ideological, education, culture, justice, ethics and other aspects of the entire organization. It is like a small vassal state, and it is difficult for even state and local governments to interfere with .
This kind of local clan was not broken until the founding of the country, but now it has gradually recovered. Some rich people have begun to compile genealogy, build ancestral halls, search for roots and ancestors, etc. For example, the famous movie star Jackie Chan in the past was searching for the ancestors of the Fang family, and even insisted on being related to the famous wise minister of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling Fang Xuanling , which is a typical example.
Most of a clan comes from a surname. It is generally based on an adult man with both ability and qualifications as the clan leader, and then a number of elders with strong reputation as the "elders" . Then, based on blood ties, status ( mainly depends on fame and status ), distant relationships, strength of ability, age, gender and other complex factors, and finally form a pyramid class with strict hierarchy comparable to the court.
Han Bangu's "Baihutong. Religion": "Why are clans? Clans are clans, gathering, which means that love and love flow together. From the top to the great-grandson, the family is auspicious, and a hundred families gather together, and they are close relatives, and they are loved and sad in their lives. There is a way to gather together, so it is called clans."
This kind of clan leader and senior leader in clans have supreme power in the clan. Under the Confucian ethics of feudal society, the punishment for a person is often not punishment, beating or even beheading, but expelled from the clan , and he is not allowed to enter the clan ancestral hall after death.
- This is a severe punishment for people of that era to travel through the body and stab the soul directly. For example, what we often hear is that " has no face to see our ancestors underground after death", which means this.
Moreover, this clan rule is ruthless than the law. To put it bluntly, if you violate the national law, you can still run away from the world, but if you violate the clan rules, you have no way out, because you can't escape the temple even if you run away, your family, relatives and friends are still in their hometowns. In addition, at that time, they all said that you will return to your roots. No matter how good or bad you are, you will still want to be buried in your ancestral grave when you die.
Are you so dizzy by these many theories? It doesn't matter. In fact, there are many examples in reality. , such as Zhujiazhuang and Zengtou City in "Water Margin", such as Bai family in "The House of Mansions", such as Bai family and Lu family in "White Deer Plain", and the most famous one is the powerful clan that almost runs through the entire feudal dynasty - the Wang family of Langya.
So just by feeling the description of these clans in these works, you can easily understand what the clan is - is especially recommended in "White Deer Plain", which almost writes about the clan grievances and disputes between the two ancestors and grandchildren of the Bailu family. It is very heavy, but it is very real .
Ao Bing, a victim in the clan background
After understanding the strictness and indisobedience of the clan rules, let’s go back to Ao Bing’s incident and see what Ao Bing encountered.
In fact, Ao Bing was originally a very simple boy. Since Shen Gongbao stolen the spirit bead and put into his dragon egg, he has been following Shen Gongbao to practice under the sea, without going out of the door, just like a white lotus.
But by chance, he met Nezha, who should be his mortal enemy, who was reincarnated by the devil boy. Two extremely lonely super-genius boys hit it off at first sight and became good friends.
But all this is not allowed, because the Dragon Clan is under too much pressure. Here, the Heavenly Court is the representative of the official court, and the Dragon Clan is equivalent to a super local clan power that is very strong and even caused the Heavenly Court to fear and suppress. Therefore, the Heavenly Court forced their Dragon Clan to suppress the alien races under the sea, and also tied them with chain pillars so that they could not escape.
And the only opportunity is that some people in their clans can make peerless contributions that even the Heavenly Court cannot ignore and deny, and thus enter the Heavenly Court to become an official - This is also the same as the ancient clans attach great importance to internal scholars, hoping that some children can go through the imperial examination system to become officials so that some people in the clan court can be their backers. It is the same truth.
《Book of Han. Biography of Wei Xuancheng》: "The clan has more than ten officials with two thousand stones."
And this important task naturally fell on Ao Bing, the best child of this clan. He had to kill him while the demon child Nezha was killing him, thus making this world-wide contribution.
Dragon Scale Armor actually means the shackles of the dragon clan against Ao Bing
This is the meaning of the clan leader Ao Guang in the East China Sea Dragon King, and it is also the meaning of the entire dragon clan. Ao Bing had no right to refuse at all. The "dragon Scale Armor" composed of the hardest scales taken off from each clan with blood. It looked like Ao Bing's armor, but in fact it was Isn't it a shackle of thousands of clans? It makes him unable to choose !
So Ao Bing seems to be majestic, but in fact he is just a pitiful victim under the clan system. He can't act according to his will, and he is completely like a puppet!
Hongchenjun said
To sum up, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" seems to be just an animation - it's still a cold-blooded cartoon of " Nezha's Sea " decades ago. In fact, it's not that true. The old bottles of new wine have already given many new meanings.
For example, Hongchenjun The dragon clan and Ao Bing analyzed above represent a strong conflict between the interests of a clan and personal wishes, and a series of contradictions caused by this. Although Ao Bing finally put aside everything under the stimulation of Nezha, he and Nezha finally resisted the natural disasters together.
But to be honest, first, he has seriously violated the decision of the entire dragon clan. If there is a second part, he will definitely make a big fuss in this regard; second, this is just idealism after all. They resisted the heavenly tribulation and retained their souls in the end. In fact, how many people dared to resist the behemoth of the imperial court, and could they survive by chance?
is so popular because it contains so many meanings that this cartoon is so popular, creating one box office myth after another. It actually makes sense behind this. It cannot be simply and roughly attributed to luck and opportunities. It should be noted that if you do not have enough strength and foundation, even if you give you the best chance, it will be a waste.
The success of this cartoon is like this, and our own life experiences are also like this. A gentleman seeks himself, while a villain seeks others.
