On Journey to the West
Journey to the West is one of China's four major literary masterpieces.
It has been reproduced many times into movies/TV series/cartoons/etc,
Is one of the projects of some theme parks,
More often appear in places such as theater companies/street artists/shows.
Chatted with friends yesterday,
He talked about Journey to the West, which should be called "The Journey to the Play".
Author's metaphor:
All affairs and the future are clearly arranged by the elders, or by those in power.
The upper person/power person arranges the future of the next people,
Everything is doomed, even if there are some changes in the middle, it is only a small change.
It is a metaphor for ancient times, the monstrous power of power, and the struggle of small people.
such as
Sun Wukong refused to accept it and was pressed by the Buddha under Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years.He was deceived by the Guanyin Bodhisattva to put on a curse, and was forced to listen to Master Xuanzang's chanting and entourage every day.
such as
The monsters and monsters encountered by Monkey King along the way,
Many are pets/mounts/mountains of gods and beasts who defected/ran away from home, etc.
These monsters and ghosts went down to the earth to cause chaos, a few were accidentally killed by Monkey King, and most of them were taken back by their masters.
论西游记
西游记是中国的四大文学名著之一.
多次被翻拍成电影/电视剧/卡通/等等,
是一些主题乐园的项目之一,
更常出现在剧团/街头艺人/秀场等地方.
昨天和朋友聊天,
他说到了西游记, 应该称之为 "嬉游记".
作者的隐喻:
一切的事务和未来, 都被长辈们给安排的明明白白, 或者说被掌权者给安排的明明白白.
上位者/掌权者安排着下人们的未来,
一切都已注定, 就算中间有着一些的变化, 也只是小的改变而已.
隐喻着古代, 权势的滔天之能, 小人物的挣扎.
比如
孙悟空不服, 被佛祖压在五指山下500年, 被观世音菩萨给骗得戴上了紧箍咒, 被迫得天天听玄奘师傅念经和随从去取经.
比如
孙悟空一路之上, 所遇到的妖魔鬼怪,
许多都是叛逃/离家出走的神仙佛的宠物/坐骑/护山神兽等等,
这些妖魔鬼怪下凡作乱, 少数的被孙悟空给不小心的打死了, 多数的都被自个的主人给带回去了.
