There are so many stories in The Journey to the West, why is Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon the most popular?

1. First, political factors.

There used to be a very famous poem, that is, after Chairman Mao and Guo Moruo watched the Shao drama Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon in 1961, Guo Moruo wrote "Seven Laws to Watch", the first sentence of which was: "A shemale confuses right and wrong, and is merciful to his enemies and mischievous to his friends."

who are our friends and who are our enemies is the primary issue of the revolution. Tang Priest is regarded as a model of the distinction between man and monster, while the Monkey King has a critical eye, and he can see through monsters and monsters at a glance, not only knocking down, but also beating important monsters three times, which is in line with the revolutionary creed of the revolutionary masses.

Therefore, in a serious period of politics, Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon is an important literary form as politically correct as causing havoc in Heaven.

2. Secondly, it is about men and women, and it will always be a scene.

In Xu Ke and Stephen Chow's Journey to the West, Bai Gujing, played by Jelly Lin, actually fell in love with the Tang Priest, and it really got into the hands of an entertainer. It's all right. Although the Tang Priest and Bai Gujing were not dating in the original book, the word "drama" was used in the reply: "Tang Sanzang, the three plays of the corpse demon", which inevitably made people think.

In The Journey to the West's story, Bai Gujing became a beautiful woman, an old lady and an old man to confuse the Tang Priest and his disciples. In the eyes of some men who have been hurt by feelings, is there any better way to reflect the fickle characteristics of women than Bai Gujing? Hate women because they are fickle; Because they are fickle, they hate women, which becomes a logical trap that it is difficult to tell who is responsible for who is responsible.

Twelve times in A Dream of Red Mansions, which we are very familiar with, "Wang Xifeng poisoned the acacia bureau, and Jia Tianxiang was looking at the romantic mirror." Because Jia Rui suffered from acacia, the Taoist priest gave him a romantic mirror and told him to look at the negative side only, not the positive side. Jia Rui looked at the reverse side, and a skeleton stood scary. Then he looked at the front side, and it was Xi Feng waving leisurely. What do you choose? Choose Xifeng, and it will never be recovered. In the eyes of the patriarchal ancients, women are glamorous, which is just an appearance, and its opposite is just a skeleton, which is exactly what Bai Gujing wanted. Lian Yizi Wang Xiangxu also saw it clearly. He said: "After all, those who look beautiful in January will look beautiful with the naked eye, while those who look at it with the Taoist eye will have skeletons and bones. If people know that it is a skeleton and bones, why bother to be fascinated? There is no such thing as a fool, but I see the moon and the beauty, but I don't see the bones and bones. Charming lost, not just overnight!

3. Finally, in fact, the Tang Priest was moved.

Someone asked: Is the Tang Priest moved? We think there is. Originally, the Monkey King just ran on the Tang Priest and said to him, "Master, I know you. You must be moved by her appearance. If so, ask Bajie to cut down some trees, Friar Sand to find some grass, and I'll be a carpenter, so I'll build a nest here. If you have sex with her, we'll all be separated, but it's not a career. Why bother to trudge again and get what you want! "

If the Tang Priest didn't mean it, Wukong would be guilty at this time, ashamed of him and disrespectful to the master. Why didn't the Tang Priest go on the rampage and punish Wukong with "Three Hundred Poems of Tang Poetry"? But at this time, the Tang Priest was flushed and ashamed, but he didn't refute a few words, watching the Monkey King beat Bai Gujing. It was not until this young woman died that Tang Priest remembered the incantation. Therefore, our hero, Elder Tang, was sad about Beauty Pass, and he couldn't hold himself for a long time.
