What is the traditional cultivation term of Journey to the West?

The 86th edition of Journey to the West, which we watched when we were young, was just an adaptation of the original part, which lost a lot of connotations and became a low-threshold TV series in Xian Yi, young and old. In fact, Journey to the West is not only a simple ghost story novel, but also contains Taoist cultivation methods, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, the way of officialdom, serious criticism, bitter satire, and many philosophies. It can be said that different people have different opinions.

0 1, as long as you look at the title of the original Journey to the West, full of Taoist five elements and Dan formula, you will know that "under one person" is true.

There is a saying that the original Journey to the West is somewhat mysterious, and many people basically have no patience to read it. Like monasticism, Journey to the West has a certain threshold.

If you don't understand it, or don't have time to read it carefully, you can skim its title and you will find the hidden doorway:

The Monkey King is Jin Xiong and an ape;

Pig Bajie is Jiang Mumu and Long Mu;

Tang Priest is Jiang Liuer, for water;

White is Italian horse, white dragon is fire;

Friar Sand is Mutu, Huang Po (saliva in the spleen, which belongs to the term of alchemy) and fesr.

The Tang Priest and his party represent gold, wood, water, fire and earth respectively, and also correspond to our internal organs. Taoist practice is this principle, and so is Chinese medicine.

Furthermore, The Journey to the West's signature author in Ming and Qing Dynasties was Huayang Cave's master, which is an obvious Taoist style. As for Wu Cheng'en, the author of Modern Textual Research, it is still controversial. Maybe Wu Cheng'en is just one of the authors.

02. Look at Zhang Huaiyi's interpretation of Tang Priest's mentoring in One Man? Westward Journey? What is that? Cultivation?

In "Under One Man", Chulan Zhang's grandfather told him the unique cultivation method, and compared the fire of human heart and lung to a monkey, and the wood of kidney and liver to a pig. Therefore, when there is a contradiction between monkeys and pigs, spleen and soil are needed to regulate and neutralize Yin and Yang in the body.

The explanation for The Journey to the West is:

The Monkey King and Pig Bajie need a calm Friar Sand to stop the fight.

And a deeper understanding is:

The Tang Priest is the Yuan God, the monkey is the ape, the pig is the desire, the Friar Sand is the calmness, and the white is the idea of leading people to travel far away. Eighty-one is a symbol of all kinds of disasters and tests in the world, and eventually a person's life will be a journey to the West.

Therefore, the best person to lead Bai (the leading thought) is an ape, which is our true intention. Only by guiding our thoughts with our initial heart can we embark on the right path; If you let desire lead the horse, you will go astray, so Pig Bajie can't lead the horse. He needs to give up all kinds of desires, shoulder the heavy burden and sharpen it slowly; If the ape is not here, Friar Sand can take his place temporarily (calmly).

The last eighty-one is hard to end, that is, 1999 returns to one, and 1999 returns to the truth. This? One? It is the beginning of all things, the end of all things, and the end of practice, so as to realize the truth and the ID.

03, Under One Man? Section 24 Tian Tonggu? , that is, in the journey to the west? Jiuqu Wandering Cave?

Section 24 Tian Tonggu, whose owner was Zhang Boduan of the Northern Song Dynasty, was a descendant of South Sect of Quanzhen Sect, and died at the age of 99 and became immortal.

Mysterious lines are carved on the stone walls of this valley, which can affect people's subconscious. Unconsciously, the body survived Sunday, and the physical diseases and hidden diseases were eliminated. Even if the monkey goes deep into the valley, he will soon become an upright man.

Have Chulan Zhang, Bao Er and others cracked it? Hold your head high? Solve the puzzle, and find rootless set in Jiuqu Wandering Cave in Sheng Yuan, Jiuling. In this place where 36 thieves become sworn friends, the secret of human cultivation corresponds to the three monsters of sheep, deer and tiger in The Journey to the West.

People's cultivation, or basic martial arts, must go through three important passes, namely, the tail pass at the end of the spine, the clamping pass at the center of the spine and the jade pillow pass at the top of the spine.

And one of the ways to get through this Sandao Pass is? Three cars? When the gas passes through the tailgate, it needs to pass slowly and smoothly like a sheep pulling a cart; If you cross the hurdle, you need to stride through it like a deer pulling a cart; When you finally pass the Jade Pillow Pass, you need to add wings to the tiger.

Of course, this method is not a formal way, but a tricky way. The real way to cross the Sandao Pass is to use monkeys to rush through the customs, control apes and control horses. This is the orthodox technique of Taoism, and it is also the method that Zhang Huaiyi taught Chulan Zhang from childhood.

"Under One Man" is not finished yet, but its author, Mier, will definitely add more Taoist elements, gain more recognition from Taoist people, and pass on the true essence of traditional culture to people. Similarly, we can take time to read the original Journey to the West several times, and you will find more new discoveries every time you read it. ?
