White is in the twenty-four solar terms.

The image of Bai in Wu Cheng'en's works is the third. The West Sea Dragon King, who is bent on maintaining the principle of tenure system, can't sit idly by and watch the fight between Bai and Prince Muang, so he gives this unfilial son to heaven. Here, Bai probably alluded to the old two and the old four at that time, because they were both people who didn't abide by the principle of official position system and broke the rules. And those who break the rules will only become slaves of others if they fail.

We all know that The Journey to the West is now one of the four classic novels, but when it was first published, it was actually banned, and its dissemination was banned because it vaguely described various social situations, implied many things and mapped many things. But our descendants can always find some clues from it, and the obscure descriptions in the book can always be found by future generations. For example, the Tang Priest Mountain White and White are the three princes of Aorun in the Dragon Palace in the West Sea. The book describes that he was killed by his father only after burning pearls in the temple? Rebellion? The sky was so sinful that it even went to the point of beheading. If Guanyin hadn't helped him to make contributions to the Tang Priest, then Bai would have made a profit.

Later generations found some clues about Bai from the forty-third episode of The Journey to the West's original work. This round is about the West Sea Dragon King sheltering his nephew Yunlong, asking him to drive away the river god of the original Heishui River and occupy the Heishui River himself, but Yunlong caught the Tang Priest and invited the West Sea Dragon King to eat the Tang Priest's meat together. Under the threat of the Monkey King, the West Sea Dragon King had to send Prince Muang to catch the dragon. At this time, Bai, as the third prince, was about to seize power from his brother, and there was a fierce struggle between them. The West Sea Dragon King, who was bent on being a prince, regarded Bai as a disobedient and unfilial son and handed him over to heaven.

Wu Cheng'en must dare not directly scold Judy and Li Shimin, right? Take it away? The memorial, and then describe the third white to imply that if you don't follow the principle of the official system, if you fail, you will become a slave to others like white.
