From "One Man" to "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West" is actually a Taoist practice?

The 86 version of Journey to the West that we watched in our childhood was only a partial adaptation of the original, throwing out a lot of connotations and turning it into a TV series for the young and old, with a low threshold. In fact, Journey to the West is not just a shallow novel of gods and demons,it contains Daoistcultivation methods, the battle between Buddhism and Taoism, and the way of the officialdom, there is a serious criticism, bitter satire, and a lot of philosophical, so that it can be said that those who are kind to see the benevolence of others, and those who are wise to see the wisdom of others.

01, just look at the title of the original Journey to the West, filled with the five elements of Taoism and dan know-how, we will know that "One Man Down" is not false

There is one thing to be said about the original Journey to the West, some of the esoteric, and many people basically do not have that patience to see it down, the Journey to the West, like the cultivation of Taoism, are is a certain threshold.

If you can't read it, or don't have time to read the whole text, then you can skim through its title, and you'll realize that there are hidden doorways:

The Monkey King is the Golden Monkey King, the Ape of the Heart;

Piggy is the Mother of the Wood, the Wooden Dragon;

The Tang Monk is the Jiang Liuel, the Water;

The White Dragon Horse is the Yima, the White Dragon, the Fire;

The White Dragon Horse is the Yima, the White Dragon, the Fire. Italian horse, white dragon, for fire;

The sand monk is the mother of earth, yellow mother (spleen within the saliva, belonging to the terminology of alchemy), knife kui;

Tang Monk and his entourage represent gold, wood, water, fire, earth, respectively, but also corresponds to the five viscera and six bowels in our body , the Taoist cultivation is the rationale, the Chinese medicine is also the same rationale.

Then again, the Ming and Qing Dynasties, "Journey to the West" signed by the author is? Huayang Dongtian master, this name is the obvious Taoist style, as for Wu Chengen this person is the author of the recent examination, there is still controversy, perhaps Wu Chengen is just one of the authors.

02, and then look at the "one person" Zhang Huaiyi for the interpretation of the Tang monks and disciples, we will know? Journey to the West? is? The first time I saw this, it was a very good idea to go back to the old days of the old days.

In "One Man Down", the protagonist Zhang Chulan's grandfather told him the cultivation method of the foreigners, the human heart and lungs of the fire is compared to a monkey, the kidneys, liver and wood is compared to a pig, so when the monkey and the pig contradict each other, you need to adjust the spleen and earth, and the yin and yang qi of the body.

Translated into the Journey to the West, the explanation is:

When the Monkey King fights with the Pig, he needs the calm Sha Monk to come out and talk things out.

A deeper understanding is:

The Tang Monk is the spirit, the Monkey is the ape, the Eight Precepts is the desire, the Sand Monk is the calmness, the White Dragon Horse is the idea to lead people far away, the nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties symbolize all kinds of earthly tribulations and tests, and finally will return to one point, the life of a person is a journey to the west.

So, The best person to lead the White Dragon Horse (the dominant idea) is the Heart Ape, which is our heart, and we can only embark on the right path by using our heart to guide our ideas; if we let our desires lead the Horse, then it will go astray, so Piggy can't lead the Horse, and he needs to give up his desires to take up the heavy burden and slowly sharpen his skills. Sand Monk (calm) temporarily instead.

Finally, the end of the nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, that is, the nine hundred and ninety-one, nine hundred and ninety-nine to the truth, this ? one? is the beginning and the end of all things, and the end of cultivation, to realize the true nature, the true self.

03. The "24 sections of the Valley of Heaven" in "One Person" is the "Journey to the West".







03. The Nine Quarters of the Hovering Cave?

The 24-section Tongtian Valley, its owner is the Northern Song Dynasty Zhang Boduan, this man Taoism Quanzhen Taoist Southern Sect of the bearer of the 99 years old, and then turned into an immortal.

The stone walls of this valley are engraved with mysterious lines on top, which can influence one's subconscious mind and make the body open up the circumference of the sky without one realizing it, so that the body's diseases and hidden ailments will be eliminated, and even if monkeys go deeper into the valley, they will quickly turn into upright human beings.

Zhang Chulan, Sister Bao'er and others cracked the ? Top Heaven and Upright Earth? s riddle and find the rootless hideout in the Nine Spirit Yuan Sheng's Nine Quarters Huan Huan Cave.And in this place where 36 thieves tie the knot, the secret of human cultivation corresponds to the 3 demons of the Chechi Kingdom of the Journey to the West: the Goat, the Deer, and the Tiger.
